12. I'm so sorry.

I lost my husband just over three years ago, and it doesn't get any easier.
I think I'm starting to get used to him being gone, sort of, as I go through my day.
I think that sometimes, but I'm not used to it also.
But it's certainly not easier.

Nothing I can say can really help, but it does help sometimes knowing people understand deep grief.
Deep love doesn't need to be healed.
The thing that helps me most is to not let circumstances or people tell me how I should feel.

And people sure do say some stupid sh*t to the bereaved.

Thanks for sharing.
