My husband joel died july 17th, 2012, so it has been 6 months. just went through some of the first with our 30 year anniversary in december and all the holidays.i like your comments about life changing on a dime and not taking life for granted. my husband first cancer diagnosis was in 1998, and we made the most of the last 13 years, because i always knew and he did too, that his time might be shorter than we would have liked...he was the love of my life and i miss him everyday, but i am trying to look at the positives and i have been lucky to have great support,i am keeping busy because it is lonely at home with no one to share things with, i too am a young 52 year old widow. i found this website a few months before he died and got some good info.
