Over two years without my hubby [View all]

Hi everyone,

I thought I had posted to this group after Mr. Choie passed away suddenly when he was just 48 in August 2016, but it looks like I didn't. Just wondering if anybody here who lost their spouse found or is finding it difficult to make a life for themselves after a couple of years have passed. I'm a social worker and work full time - my job being the only thing that forces me to get out of bed in the morning. Of course, some days are easier than other, but tonight I'm feeling ythe loss intensely. My life without my best friend and soulmate is very gray and sad.
