I am sorry you lost your husband. Nobody really understands exactly what you are going through. I wanted to point out something though. Whether a person lost a cat, dog, grandparent, old person parent, sibling they are all suffering. All of these losses have had a profound effect on them. They were loved by them. They brought meaning and purpose to their lives. You really are not so different from any of them. I was in a grief group with people who lost their children to murder, husbands, parents and we all found out that we were all in emotional pain and were all grieving. No two people grieve the same though.

I am sure you will again feel empathy for others again. I am guessing right now it is hard to focus on other people when you are hurting so bad.

Again I am sorry for what you are going through.
