I also became a widow at age 28. I was also 7 months pregnant. We were married 8 months. This was June 13, 2001. I have my daughter to focus on , she never had the oppurtunity to meet her father but she reminds me of him daily. It's important to grieve but also look for a focal point to take your mind away from your thoughts some times. Nobody needs to be consumed with grief and over time it can eat away at you if you don't see a way out. I cry from time to time but I am trying to make new memories for myself and my daughter. For example I have started The business I have always wanted to start. His death has made me realize that there are things that I have wanted to do and never did and I'm encouraged to do them.
