After my fisrt post, I realized I should probbaly explain why I am here.  On December 31, 2010 I lost my husband Tim after a brief hospital stay.  We were together for just under 2 years and were married 6 months before he died.  Due to his medical history, we always knew he would pass sooner rather than later, but this was still a shock.

He had gone to the hospital on December 2, with a severe migraine, and shortness of breath.  He ended up with a blood infection which caused a stroke two weeks later.  He was recoveing from this when he had another stroke ke on December 31, which is what he died from.

It has been a surreal whirlwind since December 2, and will continue to be for quite some time.  Realizing he is gone has been difficult, from not being able to call him every night (we at this time did not live together- a rather non-traditional non-traditonal relationship) to not being able to see him.

I have been blessed with great friends and family, both his and mine.  I can't imagine how I would have made it this far without them.  They have been my rock.

As I have stated before, this is an ongoing journey, and I am sure there will be many lows and highs along the way.  I know I will get through this, with support form many sources.
