Bereavement

They had been married for over 50 years.

When he died, her doctor whipped out the RX pad and wanted to give her some antidepressants. She declined.

I remember talking to her about the loss and she told me that she felt sad, yes but she didn't feel the need for any drugs.

Today she is doing pretty good for a woman her age (almost 83). She manages to continue living on her own while her kids are busy living their lives elsewhere.

The part about her kids angers me. They shouldn't have left their mother to fend for herself alone in a big house. I don't get this part at all. I don't think money is an issue for her but perhaps love is.

I guess it is different for everyone.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds like you are staying busy which is very important and you know that the cats are keeping a close eye on you.

Take care of yourself.
