10. We all know that the first year of our loss is the hardest.

Each day is a reminder of what that particular day, month, or season was in years past.
It can help (sometimes) to remember that this huge loss is part of the human experience.
One half of all those who are married will be widowed.
We are part of that huge mass of humanity, past and present, who are wending our way through these difficult days.

I do not wish to diminish your hurt and pain at this time.
Just trying to put a little "big picture" into your thoughts.

Do come back to this group as you wish and need during the coming months.
