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.

PinkandBlue sorry you are missing people in your life so much. These times are bringing up so many feelings of grief and loss. Sometimes writing a letter can help bring closure or making a donation in the memory of someone can help ease the sting and help us let go.

Hope your husband is a comfort to you and understands these griefs from the past.
