My wife died 6 weeks ago of breast cancer.... my kids are grown and this house is not the same..Everywhere I turn I see her. we started dating at 14 and 15 and were married 34 yrs when she died.It was driving me crazy for the first 5 weeks..crying yelling feeling worthless and I decided I needed to stop doing this to myself.. I want to meet a female to talk to who has gone through a similar thing that can talk to me about this and understand.. I am not looking for a replacement for my wife but I do want a friendly relationship with someone who has at least some of what Cathy took from my life when she left. I miss her terribly and she would not want me to feel this way for a long time.. I know that.. I need to feel better . This is self destructive..and I hate it....
Thank you for listening whoever you are..
