Dear Yvonne,

I am so sorry for the loss of your darling husband. I lost my husband of almost 23 years on June 16, 2013 Father's Day and is still reeling from the aftermath. We did have a chance to renew our wedding vows on September 22, 2010. I feel your pain, the loneliness, sleepless nights, good days and bad days, sobbing uncontrollably while driving home. I seem as if the tears will never end. I have started attending a Christian grief support group and it has helped me. The name of the support group is Griefshare.org. I will be praying for you and you in return please pray for me that the both of us as widowed women will someday have a healthy grief recovery through by the grace of God. Concerning you husband clothes, I have not removed any of my husband's belongings and I think when the time is right you and I will know what to do. I have found out that sometimes we hear words of encouragement and sometimes we hear words that only take away our progress in moving forward in grief. We must be lead by our heart and mind. It had been about (2) weeks since my husband had passed, I decided that it was time for me to start back sleeping in our bed. While walking up the stairs to our bedroom tears were streaming down my face, but I sleep that night alone in our bed and is still sleeping in it nightly. May God bless you and strengthen you and continue to help you along your journey of grief.
