Erin, thanks for accepting my friend request! While I would not wish the loss of a spouse on my worst enemy, it does help to know that there are others who face the same daily struggles with loss as I.
I recently joined a local meetup group of folk who, like me, recently lost their spouses - I figure it is better to be around others rather than continuing to isolate myself, and I assume that these folks would understand what I am going through. My first meeting with them is this coming Tuesday, so I hope to come back to the page to share how it went.
Since you are also in the Southern California area, I can privately send you the info on the meetup group if that is something that you think might be beneficial to you.
Take care,

Erin, thank you so much for befriending me and sharing with me. I am reading everything that I pretty much feel when I read your words. I am so very very sorry about Sean. I totally get how July 4th is going to be because I just went through the same yesterday with July 1st Canada Day. That was one of Wil's favourite days as he was a true historian and proud to live here. I put on his favourite Canada tshirt. I hung a couple of his flags. And I sat outside in the dark with no one around me and listened to the fireworks and lost it. I couldn't wait for them to stop. I could talk to you endlessly about the emotions and ways the days and nights go. It will be 3 months next Monday. I too do not want to live this life. Yes it is your life now. Yes filled with sorrow and torment. You hit the nail on the head. I keep hoping I'll just die from a broken heart. There is nothing now in my world. Yes I have one daughter 20 years of age. She lives on her own and leads a happy life. I live my own life. She can not understand why I am the way I am so she stays out of it. Today I am going to shower and go pay rent. Then probably sleep and cry, sleep and cry. This won't get easier for us I am sure of that.
