Yes, it is. But I know of some people within my family that loss a
spouse. Best thing to do is join a support group for widows and
widowers.

November 2 will be 6 months. Some days are good. Some are not.

believe me I know

Captain, losing a loved one is always hard. No matter what the reason.
We are all hurting, for ourselves and for each other. There is no easy
answer, and taking it a day at a time is all we can do. We all have our
tragedies to deal with, and yes, some days are harder than others. I am
sitting here with a pack of cigarettes ( I don't smoke) and a bottle of
wine after crying off and on all day. And some days, I don't cry at
all. But then something funny happens, and it lifts the cloud. I was
feeling all down and sorry for myself, ran into a neighbor moving out,
and help him pack up his kitchen. And I got propositioned!! hahaha.
you never know! It brightened my spirit for awhile, but then, here I
am, in the slumps again. Time. give it time.

I am told the first year is the hardest.I hope this is the case.

My husban was a healthy man but one day my son and i came home the baby
was 3 at the time, and found him dead on the bed, he had a (brain
anurism rupture berry,)

imagine.

but it took 8 years for me

If you mean old age as in stroke then yes. Both my parents.

No I don't find it a too touchy subject.

My wife had breast cancer. From the first diagnosis, it took only 18
months to take her life.

If your over 40. Then I suggest a postate checkup. I had one and I'm
fine. Knock on wood.

I'm only 36, but had one anyway. It turned out OK.

Good to hear that. Keep up to date with your checkup. All potention
illness can be delt with as soon as posible.

Peace.

insomnia
ever since that day

yes the first year is the worse
but it gets better with time
