Death My husband died yesterday
After 1 year and 9 months tortious battle with cancer (SCC of unknown primary.) My beloved husband died at home with me. We battled this horrible experience alone. Friends and family just disappeared from our lives through this time. No one showed up to see if I needed help before he died and NO ONE SHOWED UP upon hearing of his death.
This is really what starting over looks like I guess.

People always call you "friend" or "family" till it's time to be a friend or a family.
Try not to hold a grudge against them. It'll only wear away at your own health. Remember the good times and know that he died in the arms of the woman he loved. That's a sacred bond right there. You gave him exactly what a wife should.
