Sorry to hear about your recent loss - sad at any time of year but always seems worse near Christmas as it always appears that everyone else is having fun whilst you are lost in your grief. I lost my sister and my Mum, many years ago now, in December so know the feeling well. I'm glad that you are reaching out to chat with people on Silversurfers - many men don't find it easy to share their sorrow but talking is good. You now have the awful year of "firsts" without your beloved wife - first birthday, anniversary etc. You will come through it and I hope that you have family and friends who are there to listen to you and give you a hug. I found that some friends, especially after my sister's sudden death at 43, appeared to be avoiding me. They actually didn't know what to say so if some people are like that please forgive them. Your wife is with you in spirit and I'm sure that you have many happy memories to cherish. Take care and do let us know how you are getting on, Carole
