Out of the Slippery Pit

Garth Brooks had a song a few years back- "The Dance" even now when I hear it, I cry.

"I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the Dance"

But lots of things still make me cry. I know I am not alone. Many widows still cry, over songs, or just about any thing that triggers a memory.

This is my story of the death and 1st year of widowhood. It is all true. I wrote it to try and make sense of what was happening.

It still hurts, that is the best way to describe it. It Hurts! A pain in my stomach like someone punched me, took my breath away. I really did not think I could go on alone.
