Hi Anne,

Welcome to this site. I just found it myself. I too lost my husband in my forties. Well, I'm 49, he was 45 years old. He had a heart attack on January 31st. I have lost my best friend and my rock. I too am scared about facing life alone. My friends cannot relate either, but please feel free to write me anytime. We can share our experiences and maybe somehow we won't feel so alone. This sucks, I know....I'm not really sure how to move foward. It's very scary and lonely. But, I'm here if you want/need to talk. Maybe we can help each other somehow. 
God Bless you.
Valerie

Thank you Anne. 

I'd love to be your on-line friend. You are younger than me but not that far apart in age. I'm so sorry. It is very scary to be on our own and so young. I suppose it is scary for everyone, no matter what their age...I'm here for you, just shoot me a note and I'll get back to you asap. 
Praying for you.

Hi Anne,

Just wanted to check on you today. I myself had a rough day today.Starting crying at lunch at work. I was in a conference room by myself. I miss him so much, my heart literally aches. Are you doing okay? Do you work? Do you have any support around you? Just wanting to see how you were today and let you know I'm thinking and praying for you sweet friend.
