I understand; my husband died nov 26, 2010.  I stay up late to put off going upstairs into that empty bedroom, then I'm tired all day at work.  My doctor prescribed ambien, which helps make me tired.  Somedays are easier than others, but it's that quiet time when I start thinking about Paul that is really difficult.  But we have to go on, one minute at a time; one hour at a time; one day at a time.  What choice do we have but to carry on?

I find comfort that I will see him again, and he is watching over us.  We've even had some signs.  But who really knows what happens when someone dies?  I choose to believe because it comforts me. 

 

Take care of yourself, that is what your husband would want.

Linda I'm very sorry for your loss.  I too lost my husband July 4th of this year.  I find the night times the worst for me as well.  I have all of his things still in the same place as before he passed and sometimes wonder if that makes it worse on me.  I find I have good days and bad days but definitely stay up until 2 or 3 am just so I am exhausted and not laying in bed with my mind not able to shut off.  All I know is every day I surivive is another day closer to when we will be reunited and I try and remember that when the days are tough.
