Dear Liz,

I understand your grief. My Douglas died a year ago -- yes, one year has passed and I am still here. I grieve everyday but it is different than last year. So, it will and does get easier. Not better, but easier. He was my rock, my best friend, and we were together 32 years. We also shared the 60 and 70 genre over and over again. He is missed and loved every day by me!

Dear Liz, I hear your pain, I'm sorry I come broken myself, not much help to anyone but I love reading the posts and know I am not alone. This is a very good site, happy I found it. I am at 5 and 1/2 months since I lost my husband. We were married 3 months short of 45 years. I guess in a way we did get to grow old together but is that enough? No, I loved him so much I can't bear to even go out to his grave. I am starting to move on just a bit but as always come crashing back down to square one. It's a roller coster ride, ups and downs but there are some ups I can even find myself laughing at some memories we had together. It takes time, understanding and alot of faith. Hope you keep coming back, we all know how you feel, wish we all could have met somewheres for different reasons but we can only handle one day at a time. You take care my friend in grief, Sharon
