Hi Laura. It was a freak accident. He was in the garage cleaning his hand gun and I think he put it back together and somehow the table tipped and the gun went off and shot him in the chest. The bullet caused so much internal damage that the doctor couldn't save him. He was alive when they put him in the ambulance so I was expecting him to be alive when I got to the hospital. That was the worst day of my life. I still cry every time I think about it. I still cry when I look at pictures of him. Everyone tells me to think of the happy times but that makes me cry too because there won't be any more happy times with him. I keep putting one foot in front of the other. I did go to Griefshare and that helped me a lot because there were others who had lost loved ones. They did tell me it gets better, not easier, but better. I too feel alone quite a bit. I pray a lot and that comforts me most of the time. But there are other times when I just have to cry and cry and cry. I know I shed an ocean of tears that first year. I have talked your ear off so will sign off. Hugs to you too.

I don't like New Years either. We have something in common. It was the last day I saw my Mom alive. What did your husband pass away from? I do know your pain. People always say it will get easier in time, but those are the people that really haven't gone thru what we have. I never imagined how painful this could be. I have to pull it together also because I have 3 boys. 16,3 & 2. I feel alone, because no one understands. Sorry for your pain. Hugs to you
