Hi Kate - I read this board everyday bur rarely post anything - it is over 5 years since my husband passed and like everyone who has responded to you I would agree that grief never goes away - something I read a long time ago always comes to mind - "time does not heal, it makes a half stitched scar that can be broken and you feel grief as total as its first hour." Your comment re your husband's closet struck a chord with me as I still have my husband's clothes - in fact I have had to move home since his passing and they have moved with me!! Every so often I tell myself that I need to deal with them and I even ask him if the time is right hoping for an answer! But I know that when the time is right I will just have the feeling deep down that it is time to take that step - please allow yourself to wait for that time - you will know when it is right. The only saving grace for me is - like everyone here - I know that Doug is right with me, every step of the way and as comforting as that is, it is still hard to get through each day - but how ever do the people who do not believe as we do, make it through. Hugs to all
