You're too young to be a widow

Description

I never thought that I would be a widow in my forties.  My friends can't relate and feel the need to comment on everything, even if they have no experience with grief.  I know they mean well but only we know what we are going though.

  • People can be so heartless sometimes

    I know that, people dont know how to deal with the passing of a loved one, especially when they are young and we are young, but the hardest comment I have had to endure since the passing of my husband is that "you will find someone again." I want to just beat people when they say this to me because…

  • Hi

    My husband passed away Jan 8th. I'm still in shock. He had synovial sarcoma. The tumor pretty much suffocated him to death. I really want to talk to him and hear his voice.

  • Aren't we all too young to be Widows?

    It seems no matter your age or how many years you have with your spouse, it stills seems like its not enough!  My husband was diagnosed with Lymphoma the day before his 44th birthday and died 3 months before his 45th birthday.  I am blessed to have been married to him for almost 26 years.I would…
