I'm so terribly sorry for your loss.

When my friend Rory died, I lost the one person who I shared so much of my day to day life with.
I found myself wanting to share or discuss a moment or event and have been left with no-one to share that with.

That's really hard. I've gradually tried talking to others, but I have to remember that developing those shared moments takes time, energy and a commitment from me.

I will say it has to be worth the effort, as those memories with Rory are truly priceless, as I'm sure yours with your husband are as well.

Please give yourself permission to be where you are, and to try new things when you're ready.
God Speed Ziggysmom.

Love, John
