Bereavement
Showing Original Post only (View all)Wow....last entry was from 2013?. Or did I read that wrong..... [View all]
My husband died May 4....thats only 3 months ago. And no one has even written to me....no family no friends, no one has even mentioned him. Its only been 3 months. I MISS HIM SO MUCH. I look at his slippers, and cry, I look at all his jackets and cry, I remember what he did to this house Im living in. He built our deck...refinished both bathrooms, bought solar panels for our garage, just did everything. I JUST MISS HIM SO MUCH, and no one has even asked me how im doing.

I did not know, but am very sorry for your loss. It is horrible to lose a spouse.
