It is so helpful to read and hear about how others have experienced this
horrendous loss. Nothing in my life has prepared me for total upending of my reality.
There is so much to manage. I keep hitting walls in the legal system, in the bureaucracies
of government and corporations at the time I have the least energies or intellect to
fight these battles.

I hardly have the time to process and feel my grief. It is actually what I want to do. To
be in touch with my grief gives me more of a connection with my husband. Even as painful
as it feels, it is far more comforting than most of my life right now. I look forward to
a time when I can quietly re-experience my memories and sort through the treasures
of our shared lives, to find new perspectives and meanings in our precious time together.

Thank for offering to be there for support. As you know, that means so much right now.
