Joseph, I'm so sorry for your loss. I feel the same way you do. There is no normal for us anymore, we have to learn to live day by day. At times, I wonder at what point will we give up? I should have been the one to go first, I have 1 kidney, arthritis and other problems. He was diagnosed and within a month, he was gone. It isn't fair, I was told I was the strong one in our marriage and that he went first because he couldn't have survived without me, how do I learn to survive without him??? I have survivors guilt so bad, so many what if's and I should have's. Nothing will change the outcome though, he will still be gone. I hope you can learn to cope without your spouse, like I said, day by day.
