Dear Marlene,

I am heading for the six month mark of my husbands sudden death and I don't know how anyone who has been through this could put a timeline on our grief. I think the first few months I was still in shock. The holidays came and were gone and I went through them like walking through a dream. I went to stay with my daughter and all I could think was I want to go home even though I would be alone. I agree it seems to be getting harder. Maybe as time goes on the harsh reallity is with us. I am finding it harder to get motivated. Each day I think what he and I would be doing even if it would be nothing. I long a day that is not so painful but noone can tell me when that will come. My wish is for all of us here to find some peace in our hearts.

My thoughs are with you Barbara

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
