widows/widowers

It has been a long hard road and never thought that I would become a widow at 52. The grief is so different from when losing a mother, father, etc. Therefore it has been hard comforting my children. Watching your soul mate die of cancer is not easy. But he was the strong one and although he was given just 3 months to live he was a trooper through the next year and lived that year to the fullest he could. He called the disease his "miracle disease" because it made him closer to his Lord. I can say I'm proud to have witnessed such a touching transition to the other side and to have been a wife to a strong man of God. Although at first I didn't want to live I know now that God has and will always be my rock. It sure would be wonderful to talk to other widow-widowers about their experiences to help with the healing. God Bless, Jeannie
