It spoke to me tonight, and the fact that you quote Eleanor Roosevelt is the icing on the cake:) One of my favorite E.R. quotes is: "women are a lot like tea bags...you never know how strong they are until you put them in hot water>"Ronninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-27995131211970085152010-01-15T17:48:08.077-08:002010-01-15T17:48:08.077-08:00Unfortunately, I know exactly what you mean.

It's turned out to be completely different than I had imagined - not in a worse or better way - just different. The biggest shock of all is that I completely expected that I would die too, but 19 months later, here I am. No one is more surprised about that than me. I wake up every morning amazed that I am still here without him and even more amazed that I drag myself out of our nest and fly out into the world. It is so much easier to be in the company of other widows/widowers. I wouldn't wish this on any one else ever, but it helps to know that there are others who know instantly when they learn you are a widow/widower too - they just know.Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11528124126614275299noreply@blogger.com
