So very sorry Joetex and Kay - it is a difficult road we must travel.

I too talk to my husband all the time, I have his photo on my phone as a screen saver so he is always there. I just took photos of some of our pictures and when I am really down I look at different photos. My husband had the funniest expressions in some of pictures. I know he did it to make me laugh, and I still can when I see them.

I think the problem with my married friends is they are afraid they are next and can't face it. My husband was not ill in any way yet he is gone. Some of them have some mild health problems and I guess they think there number could be up too.
Whatever, it's their problem and I am not going to make it my problem. I have enough stress to carry me along just fine but.....one doesn't forget. Possibly forgive but NOT forget.

I didn't sleep a wink last night so I think I will try to rest now. So many of us are hurting and it's difficult to say the least. Prayers for everyone going through this hell on earth.

So sorry for the loss of your husband. I know how you feel when friends and family don't check in or ask how you are doing. And seem to avoid us. I am experiencing this also. I guess they don't want to think of their lives facing such a devasting loss. My son had cancer, and I miss him so, tears everyday. It means so much when someone reaches out and asks how you are doing. Or let you know they have been thinking of you and have you in their prayers. Just knowing some one cares means so much and can lift your spirits.
