"How am I going to do this alone." With more life to live and little ones to raise, this is a widow's daily thought.

Watching my friend come to terms with the sudden, tragic death of her husband is all to real. To lose her best friend and partner, in which she has spent half her life with, is unimaginable. There will be a long, healing process ahead.

We share the same cOMmunity and I pray she receives your support the way I did when my young husband passed in December.
