I was so fortunate to have so much true living and joy in my 25 years of marriage, friends often commented and "blamed" it on my being his second wife and our large age difference, whatever the reason I was blessed but now the huge void. I am finding myself without confidence, without a willingness to take risk but then I lecture myself and read Anna's words of encouragement and try to at least go outside my "box" a little...it is going to take some time and perhaps when the episodes of utter sadness are not as frequent....then maybe I can start living for more than hours or days but for always again.... Thank you Anna, you make me think of the future and the past in positive ways, you help me grasp what is happening and how I can change it or accept it...you help in so many ways and do a lot more LIVING than you realize in your writing.

Just remember what you wrote about her a few days ago. She embraced life even through great adversity. You said you felt happier around her. You may not realize it but you do that for so many of us. Your words of encouragement have meant so much to me and usually at a time when I really needed it. I know that many others feel the same. This forum has helped me in so many ways that I do not know what I would have done without it some days. Never feel like an outsider because you are embraced by so many of us that consider you a good friend even though we have never met. I have been doing a lot of thinking lately and have decided that I have to start living and that is due in part to your encouragement at Widows Quest. I'm not quite sure what "starting to live" means but I'm sure going to find out. Happiness is out there and I intend to find it. I really hope you can do the same. Dear Anna,
