I’m sorry to hear you lost your husband, yes it’s awful, I battle on everyday the best I can, but the grief is always there
Sorry for your loss too, it’s not easy and no one truly knows what if feels like unless it happens to them, yes just got to keep going best you can, and hopefully in time it will be easier to live with.
