I was also on YWBB and browsed a lot when I needed to remind myself there were others that were going through the same thing I was. I have always been a bit shy and rarely posted.
My husband and I married young and enjoyed 17 years together when he went to work one night (a trucker) and never got the chance to come home to us the following morning. Another trucker on the same road fell asleep at the wheel and all is history now. He had just turned 39 a month prior. Our boys were 5 and 11 at the time of the accident. 9 years later they are 14 and 20 and life is still moving forward. I have dated a little over the years, with nothing exciting to report on that area, just that I still have hope. We live in a small town in the Midwest .
We are lucky to be very close to his family as well as my own, and I just keep busy with the kids and with volunteering that I have found to be good for me. I am glad to see this board will continue to help others as it has helped me more than you know.
