Quote From: karonson April 29, 2004 my husband of 29 years passed away from congestive heart failure. I has been over a year and it still feels like it was yesterday. Even though I have gone back to work and keep busy with my children and granddaughters I feel alone.
We were so close we were always together when we were not working, we would go for long walks before he fell ill, go shopping and just sit at home and talk. We hardly ever fought and was happy just being with each other. To make matters even worse his family has turned their back to me and have shut me out of their live for the most part. My husband was the oldest of 10 and to the roll of dad when his father died at age 52 for a truck accident. He raised his youngest 3 siblings and was the glue that kept his family together. I think that maybe they don't know what to say or do with me but I am not sure.
Some people think that I should be over the greiving part by now and sometimes I think they are right but not sure.
I sure could use you advise and support

This is so strange. You and I have almost the exact same story. My husband passed away 9 years ago from congestive heart failure as well. He was my the most awesome person in the world to me. I am having a very difficult time moving on. I just can't do it. I have spent the last 9 years raising our 5 children who are pretty much grown now. I have 4 grandchildren that John never got to meet. He was 42 when he passed. His family wrote me off as well. It has been very hard. If you would like to talk ,my e-mail address is Relaxeh@aol.com. Take care in the mean time and try to think happy thoughts.
