manifests so physically, too. Losing your spouse is a whole different kind of grief. I actually made myself a sign that said “ Don’t go looking for something big; get through the day; get through the night.” I hung it up by my computer. My heart just aches knowing what he is facing. Gentle hugs to you, kentuck🩷

My wife passed about 7 years ago, and it still sucks. But believe me when I say, it does get better, but it's never the same.

Every morning we get news of the most recent erosion of our great society.

Kentuck, despite the lessening of grief of my hubby's passing a year ago, knowing he doesn't have to see America sink to Fascism is somewhat comforting.

Sending you a big hug,

Warpy

The good memories of a lifetime spent getting to know someone crowd out the bad memories of the end of that lifetime.

However, until that happens, it knocks us flat.
