I had a bad spell at work where I read something in my personal email that reminded me of my husband. Usually I can think about him and be OK, but this time I just had a terrible wave of grief. He died in 2012. I have had a hard time over the holidays every year. I hope this year is different.

Anyway the wave passed, and I’m just doing nothing but hanging out on this site, looking for things to respond to. It keeps me hanging on.
