Hi!! Thanks so much for your response. The Young widows and widowers bulletin board - it is a good site for people who have lost a spouse. I will be here often. Thanks for your kind words!! Monica

I am glad this site is here. I started on the YWBB -it was good. My husband passed away in his sleep while I was at work of an undiagnosed heart problem at 37 years old in October. We were together almost 8 years. My kids (his stepkids) have struggled too. I know that I need to get out - he would want me to. But so many men tell me "I need to get over my ex." First he isn't my ex - and secondly - no one will ever match up to him. I know that time helps heal - but it has been so traumatizing. It is helpful to have others that truely understand this loss. Thanks for listening!! Monica

Just found this thread - I was widowed suddenly last October - still "learning to live" without the love of my life
