My wife passed away

My wife passed away six months ago. Since then I have been trying to move forward, but memories of her are everywhere. Many friends were supportive in the first few weeks, but they have their own lives and challenges. Certain days like Mother's Day were especially hard. I am hoping to find a friend to just talk with a few times a week..

Six months in not a long while. You will never forget totally. As foe "supportive" friends - welcome to death and divorce, my friends. They have their own lives, yes'.Life is for the living.

Don't mourn Mother's Day or her birthday unduly. My own mother died 38 years ago in her sleep right after Mother's Day. I miss her to this day - but I remember her that day and her June birthday. I remember the good times, never the bad. You should do the same.

Try a support group. They went through what you are doing now, You may find a couple of new friends.
