seven years since my husband died and of course i still miss him - but the pain of those early days does reduce in time - its a bit of a roller coaster - you think youre doing ok then something slaps you back down again - i think what happens is we learn to live with it rather than "get over it" "move on" or any of the other misguided cliches people throw at us.
Back then i also found this place to be a lifeline -so i hope it will be for you too.On the one hand it is grief that brings us here but we also have the daily chat section - because sometimes its the little things we miss not just the big ones - the how was your day, whats for tea type conversations, no -one to share sad thoughts, but also the good or funny stuff which increases the lonliness.
