Thank you for your kind words. After a long marriage such as ours, I no longer feel complete. The grieving is getting better but it will never end. I pray for the day I can join him. Not at all interested in "dating sites." I was only with one man in my lifetime and he was my heart and soul. No one can ever replace him. Right now I am in a lonely and solitary place. However I am stepping way out of my comfort zone and going on a cruise at the end of May. My plan is to try and stay upbeat, but it will be hard because my husband and I cruised a lot and it is hard to imagine being on a ship without him. Suicide is not the answer so I must try and keep going until it is my time.

Your husband is so proud of you. We lost my Mom unexpectedly last year. My Dad is devastated. They were married for 60 years. It has been very hard for him. He was 6 years older than Mom and always thought he would die first. He has had to go on by himself. My 3 siblings and I have been taking him out and making sure he is taken care of. He has good days and bad days. We try to help him remember all the funny things she used to say and keep her in the conversation. I tell him it hurts so much, because he loved her so much. I'm so glad you are going on the cruise. He wants you to be happy. You share a very special love.
