As a widower the last 1 1/2 years I have learned the following:
1) When it comes to my feelings, I am not alone. Every widow/widower is going through the same thing. Every one who survives the loss of their conscience, their symbiotic relationship knows what I mean.
2) It doesn’t help one Hell of a lot knowing the reality of # 1. You still feel somewhat alone out there.
3). While I have come to the realization of the fact that she is gone, i still miss Sandy so damned much that it is hard, hard, hard to face every day as 1/2 of the whole that we were.
I apologize for being a downer, but this is as real as it gets!
