I share your pain. My husband died in December after 59 years of marriage (we dated 6 years before that). He had a terrible ending which included an amputation on his leg below the knee. I wish I could have gone with him and am still struggling.

My husband and I were also married for 59 years. When you are with a person for such a long time, it is most of your life, and it is a struggle to realize he is not here anymore. I just had a birthday last week and turned 88. I really have no ambition to live anymore. All I do know is that I will not take my own life. But day to day living has no more meaning. We are told it will get better with time. But at 88 how much time do I have?
