It's amazing the power of food shared together has.  I have broken down in the grocery store many times, almost every time I went during the first year.  Some things I can't go near and others give me great comfort.  I can't make sense of my reactions but they are powerful.

I'm working and it's very fast paced and hectic. I love what I do and It has helped to be busy. Nights are the worst. And weekends.

Annette and I always loved cooking together. We kept 2 binders of recipes that we had made together. I've started writing a cookbook containing all these recipes. The good/bad part has been adding stories about how we found and tried some of these. The memories are intense, and have led to many smiles and tears. We have a 14 year old son, and my hope is that one day this will help him remember the times the 3 of us have had together.

Nancy,

I am retired but I keep myself busy with my dog, I also love gardening and help neighbors with theirs. I do see a therapist and take meds to help me to continue on in this hectic world.

Thank you Linda. It really doesn't help when others tell you what you need to do or feel.

Hi Nancy,

I have a quote on my fridge as follows: Grief is something you never really get over, but you put it in a place inside you and deal with it in the way you have to.

Linda. What a cute dog! I just got off the phone with my 97 yo mom who tells me I'm working to hard to avoid grieving. God love her. I told her if I wasn't working to have at least some time to not think about everything I would be completely nuts. I love it when people try to tell you how to grieve or how you should be feeling.

Linda,
Thank for the advice. Babie J is adorable! My wife loved dogs as well and one of her last words to me was to take care of our 2 sons as well as our dog, Lulu, a black puggle. I agree with you that dogs are better than most people. I found out the hard way that they are a helluva lot more loyal and loving as well.

Hi Paul,

I just take one day at a time. Plus i have the love of a shih tzu I rescued Babie J.  time, I adopted a cute little shih tzu that keeps me going. She is better than most people I know.

Linda,
My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your husband. By reading your comments I can truly feel how close and special your relationship was with him. It was the same with my wife and I. Four years seems like an eternity to me now. How do you cope?
