A woman on my Widows Group asked how long I had been widowed and if it ever gets any better...she lost her husband a month ago. My answer surprised and delighted me: My husband Stu died on 9/2/12, so I am just days away from being 23 months into this new life. Around 18 months I found myself genuinely smiling and laughing out loud. The first 18 months were a living hell, I wont lie to you. Scary terrible. Gradually the grief and sadness is getting easier to handle, less overwhelming and the majority of my days are good. The jagged edges are being replaced by smooth corners, the flashbacks are few and the memories more often make me smile. Time may not heal all wounds but it has a wonderful way of softening them, if you allow it....
