It has been almost 10 months since my husband passed away after a long illness. The last two years prior to his passing were the most difficult. I attend a grief support group each week, and that has helped tremendously. Also, my friends and family have been very supportive. I miss him every day, and it is so difficult to experience the loneliness in an empty house. Although I just joined this group, I have been reading the comments for several weeks. Based on the feelings you all have expressed, I can identify with the pain we all feel. Nothing will ever take the place of the loved one we have each lost.
