Am I expecting too much from our friends?
I have heard it so often..."Your friends will disappear, you will no longer fit in with the other couples." Thomas swore this would not happen to me. He convinced me this would not happen. But now that I've hit the 6 month mark, it has happened. I've felt some of our closest friends easing away from me, but then I would see them and felt it must have been my imagination. No, it was real. I believe the time has come that they must feel it more comfortable without us. Time for them to move on I guess. The moment I realized I was excluded from the dinner party, I was heartbroken. But wait a minute, I know that I had been so busy this week and would not have accepted the invitation even if I had been asked. Then why am I so upset? Because it's everyone we had been so close with are now distant. It's just another pain, another realization that I am not nearly as good of a person without him. I'm trying desperately to hold on to a life that has dissipated into vapor.

melodie, you " being not nearly as good a person without it" , you are the same person going through a very very difficult time, i said to one of my friends the other day that i need to rediscover who i am because loosing this 50% of yourself leaves you feeling very lost. i have found people just dont know what to say to me, perhaps scared of saying the wrong thing. and i think i am learning who my true friends are. some have disappointed me i thiught they would have been the ones standing by my side instead one of them told me the other day to go back to work and get on with my life........ think that friendship has nearly hit the end! but i too have found alot of people that have been surprisingly wonderful support, people that i have never up until now considered to be paticularly close too. life is hard and it is going to take all of us a long time to find our new normal. thinking of you. nicole
