Oh my how our lives somewhat match….I sit here alone my husband inside sleeping and has been all day. I read your post & totally relate….the friends I thought were there weren’t; includes church people as well. Yes, they ask how is Joe? How are you doing? That’s the end of it.

What can I say, no family around even - why don’t ya move closer! Yikes, where are the visits? No phone calls even except for our 2 children but are working & live in distance States. Yes a very lonely experience!! I have ‘surrendered’ to just me & him! I am in a ‘protector’ role and wonder when will this ever end. Is it THEN when I will find ‘that friend’??? Sorry TOO LATE & now I don’t CARE

I just saw your post. I am sorry you are dealing with the same issue. I guess it makes me feel “better” to know it isn’t just me. One friend told me I was being too needy when I kept asking to hear from him once a week in an email. Now he won’t even talk to me. I also was told that since I am “privileged” I should not be having as much grief. I am still trying to figure that one out. If privilege keeps you from grieving then why do so many famous and rich people have grief. I read that Regis Philbin’s wife still isolates herself from others and he has been gone about three years. I would say she is pretty privileged too. I tell people that until it has happened to you, you have no idea how bad it is and how lonely it is when your spouse dies.
