I am one of many women in this world who is trying to find her way through the brutality of this type of grief.  I am not a physician or a psychologist.  My comments and posts are those of my own thoughts and experiences during this process.  This has not been an easy path or journey by any means, however,  I am surviving and moving forward.  I have been blessed with several extraordinary friends who have been willing to walk beside me through this whole experience.  I continue to live in the same home on the same property that I shared with my husband, with my two Westies, Angus and Mayzie!
