I am at an age where people from my past are dying.
My husband wants a divorce. So, I've been grieving and coming to terms with that. Then, today I found out that the 37 year old daughter of people who used to be my friends has died of cancer this week.
Over twenty years ago my first husband and I were actually very close friends with this couple and we used to do a lot of socializing together. When my first husband died, they didn't want to be friends any longer. I haven't heard from them since his death.
I was thinking that their daughter died so young, but then I realized that I was the same age when my husband died, so I was young too.
The thoughts are all confused in my mind. I haven't seen her since she was 6. I am saddened by her death. I wish I could tell my late husband what happened. It brings back memories of my grief over his death. At times like this I miss him.
