It's something we rarely consider but the price of being a couple is that in most cases, one partner goes before the other.

It is a steep price to pay but hopefully the years before made it worth the cost

You are no drag! We are all here to support one another. We all need to get stuff off our chest from time to time. I hope you will get more off your chest whenever you need to. I am going on almost 5 months now of losing my darling man on June 22. I come here often to share, read, and try and support others who need it. Please know this is a wonderful group of human beings who do actually care about one another. I feel so fortunate to have found this site.

Not a drag we get it.

I'm sorry for your loss. And I know how you feel.

I underwent that heartbreak in Aug. I met Sonia in 1991, and we were together until this year. It has been very difficult, but all we can do is to try to carry on the best we can. You have my condolences

feel free to share

Understandable......this is a good place to do that....

My kids are beyond Trick-or-treating age now, but... when Dave passed from cancer on Oct 30, 2006, both kids (then ages 6 and 9) still wanted to do the whole door-to-door tradition. It was very hard to do.

I am new to the group, but, I do not think you can be a drag here. Youre among kindred folk. Grief is a bitch. I am going into my third holiday season without him & it still is as painful as the first. Any time you need to, feel free. I don't think anyone will mind.

Sigh .... I know

we were also married on a Friday the 13th but in 1979, 3rd Halloween without and Tahnksgiving and Christmas are next to get through. Take care.
