Well, I survived my 40th birthday without Kenny...it wasn't as bad as I thought..my family and friends helped make it memorable..which helped..
Thanks for all the nice birthday wishes..it really is nice to find a place where so many people know what we are going through, and care enough to share their experiences with others to help them get one with their lifes...Thanks for that..

That question and "How are you holding up" were the two that just drove me to destraction. To the first I would reply "I didn't know what I was doing when he was here, how the hell should I know now!" and to the next, "with both hands and my feet if necessary!" Maybe I was rude, but, how much ruder were they??
Before he was even cremated and the memorial over, several of his "friends" asked me for things like his tools and if I wanted to sell his trucks. It has been 5 years and I am finally able to put things in perspective. He was just too sick to be happy here anymore.

3crosses...I know exactly what you mean....well lets see at first I want to crawl under a rock so people would quit asking the same dumb question over and over.... after a while the frustration of all those (duh dumb)questions my sick sense of humor kicked in.  I would give them the most insane answer you could possibly imagine  they finally quit asking (those people were not true friends just plain nosey)the ones that really knew me was there when I needed them. The response I hated the most was I know what your going thru or how you must feel....Oh no they didn't and probably never will. Until they lose that special someone rather that be spouse, child or parent they can't possibly know how it feels.

Hello, everyone. The question I am so tired of is how's it going? Well like hell right about now. Then people tell me I know what you're going thru. B.S.. no one knows what it's like until they walk in you're shoes. People don't have a clue what it's like until you have lived the part of you're life, watching you're loved one die.  ooh what a refreshing thought. Maybe tonight!!

I too got so tired of this question and am still getting (husband passed a year ago yesterday)it. So pass me a bud light and a vegas bomb, lol really good shot.
I just don't know what I'm going to do other than try to hold on to the house and finish raising the kids.
Here's another one, I never know what to say to as I'm going out to the dating world again... they find out your a widow and then they say I'm so sorry.
I'm never sure how to respond, a response is required. I say Thank you... I hate saying it's alright, it's not but I'm dealing with it, but they don't want to hear it. Y'know?
How do you all handle that?

Been alittle over 3 years for me......and everyday it is still a battle, i know how it is feeling lonely, threw myself into my job sure it helped alot. Til ya got so burned out and releasied i didn't have a life anymore. Never hung out with my friends etc. I finally had enough n quit a few days ago. Found that the loneliness came right back, it's a never ending battle. I won't ever forget him he's still a huge part of my life....but when the time is right i think we all will know when it's time to move on, until then in my opinion hang on those lovely memories....things will fall into place.
