Just joined so I thought I should contribute.
As a recent widower, young at that, I think its hard for most people around me to understand that you don't just lose your partner. When you are attached to a person and you build a life together it is a shared existence. With that person gone, that life is gone too and in the void that is left, there is the of loss of identity.
How do you rebuild. Its a daunting thought. But I feel I owe it to my wife and her memory to try.
But that sentiment does not make the journey any easier.
Anyways...just what's on my mind this morning.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I was amazed how heartbreaking the loss of my future and dreams was. NO one understood everything that cancer cost us. I will say, life has a way of refilling the emptiness, though. I pretty much do not plan, or try to force a particular future anymore, but relish each day of the journey as it happens. Yes, eventually, joy returned for me. The pleasure I now get from seemingly small things is surprising.
