I think I was about a year in when I realized that I could just now simply miss my late husband. It wasn’t wrapped up with a whole bunch of other feelings about his passing, anger over the stuff he left me with, the stuff I wanted to do with him for memories. There were expectations that would never get met that I had to let go. I finally worked my way through them and I let them go.
I called my sister and I was talking to her about it and I said it’s just it’s different now. I just get to really really miss him without all the other crap — it feels so much better and worse.
