I feel for all who are suffering.  After 5 + years  I still grieve, feel empty after losing the only person who Loved,respected, supported me as I did him.   Married 46 yrs. We were a team.   Struggling  like all of you.  Loss  of  2/3   of husbands hard won pension  was a kick in the teeth, life savings  going fast , many bills,  illness, RX's ,  care taking,    Honesty, Fairness ,integrity  is lacking in our corp,  lobbyist, billionaire controlled country.  Bless you all

Hi Dianne.  I'm sorry you are forced to struggle.  Our husbands did not plan for this to happen.  My husband worked for the government for 35 years.  His pension was supposed to be enough for us to live a comfortable life into our old age.  When he died 5 years ago it dropped slightly as a spousal pension but last summer a clause that was written in in fine print kicked in and it dropped to such a small amount it is almost useless to me.  I have worked all my life too which is keeping me going now but I am so so angry that they slipped this past us.  I am tired of working full time and having everything at home on just my shoulders too but I cant even think about retiring any time soon.  My husband would be pissed if he knew.  The last thing I had to do for my husband was tell him it was ok for him to go because I would be ok.  Now I wish I could take that promise back and just give up.

"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
