I will never be the same, will never be able to cope. Sometimes I feel existence is just too much for me to handle. Day by day is the only way I can cope. After 45 years of sharing, it is hard to find energy to go forward with any enthusiasm. Half my life died when my husband died to suddenly. Never had a chance to thank him for being the most important thing to happen to me.
