It's going to be 5 years for me this July. I was 52 when my husband died, he was 58. Lost after a 2 month battle with cancer. We had just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. Our kids were 22 and 18. My 18yr old now 24, still lives with me. I too have a dog! Feeling the struggle as this month was the beginning of 'the end', definitely not my favourite month of the year anymore, as it once was - his birthday, our wedding anniversary, now is the first time he went to the hospital to get checked out. Thinking of you and our similar stories. xo
