I became a widow on August 2, 2011. I grieved, hard, for 2 months. Then life happened, as it so often does, and interrupted my grieving process. My family needed me and I was there for them; I was strong for them. Eventually, my adult sons no longer needed me on a regular basis. I felt lost; I had no reason to get out of bed in the morning. I was depressed and still grieving. I grieved for my husband and the life I thought we would have at this point in our lives. I hated the feeling of having no purpose. Would I ever feel normal again?
