81

I’m so sorry for your loss.

Your poem shows so much love.

82

I never know what to say. My words are so feeble. You and your husband shall be in my prayers.

83

I’m so sorry for your loss.

84

I can’t imagine. A good friend of mine lost his wife years ago, and I saw what he went through. My thoughts are with you.

85

I’m sorry for your troubles.

86

I’m so sorry.

87

You have my sincere condolences. Knowing that I logically won’t outlive one brother or Girl Wonder gives me angst; it’s precisely those two I would need to be here and strong for.

88

I just saw this today. I’m so sorry for your loss, Janis.

89

I thank you all so very very much for your words of kindness… I’m hanging tough I guess… going to work, going through the motions of the day… I thought you guys might want to see this… I just got it posted a few days ago … I apologize for the cheezy music… there’s a button to turn it off : https://www.macdonaldfuneral.com/notices/EdwardEddie-Hester

I was away and missed this at first. I’m so sorry, my thoughts are with you. He sounds like he was a great guy.

91

Thank you for sharing that. Again, I am sorry for your pain.

92

What a beautiful tribute. He was so young. :frowning: I noticed that your funeral home offers the same “Coping With Grief” daily emails that my husband’s did. The link to sign up is in the lower left. You might want to try them. They really helped me. Some made me mad, but that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Mine just ended and I miss them. You can always cancel if you don’t like them.

93

Sorry for your loss. How are you doing now?

94

I’m no longer in the PITS OF BLACK DESPAIR ™ I’ve reached the “meh” stage… it’s not that I don’t care that he died, it’s just that I don’t care about much of anything, period.

95

The first holidays after losing someone are always the hardest. One tiny little thing can bring the loss rushing at you like freight train. Just let the feelings come.

And know the Dopers are thinking of you.

96

It’s so hard. Any way you feel is OK. I’m just now kind of starting to care about things again.

97

With time, the pain will ease. Well, no, that’s not exactly right. The pain stays just as painful, but the times you experience it get further and further apart

A year in, I can say that this is true. That being said, I still miss him every single day. I can’t believe it’s been a year… Thanks for helping me get through it. I love you guys.
