So agree , It is so hard dealing with all these things big and small. It gets overwhelming and the one person that was our sounding board and helped with these decision isn't here to help. I agree with leadfeather "facing life with only half of myself" good luck with the furnace and all the daunting paperwork !

Yes I do find widda helpful even after 4 years, In the early days , months it truly got me through some very dark times. Just to know you have people that understand your deep grief and that you are not crazy with what you are feeling is such a gift. I have met some wonderful people here I do see at times it seems to go quiet and I hope that doesn't stop people from reading or posting.

So sorry to hear this, truly unfair

It was so difficult to go out in the beginning. Seeing the world is still moving as you are in a walking haze. Try and be easy on yourself , this is hard but we are here to listen. I have printed out a saying that one of the wonderful members had I still look at it on tough days but those days are further apart now "On particularly rough days when I'm sure I can't possible endure, I like to remind myself that my track record for getting through bad days is 100% and that is pretty good " Take Care , Nancy

Today will be 4 years for me. Thank you for all your post as at times I feel like it was yesterday. Just the feeling that the life we had planned really , really isn't going to happen can be hard to grasp. Feels as if I kept holding on to the illusion that it would all some day feel and be the same as when he was here.
