I’m nearing the 10 year anniversary of Troy’s passing. Wow, hard to believe it’s been that long, sometimes it feels like just yesterday. I’ve learned so much about people, people that you thought you could count on through thick or thin. Don’t kid yourself, they don’t exist. They get what they want from you and then send you a letter telling you what a horrible person you are and always have been. Yup, it happened to me. Right there in black and white in case I need to be reminded of what an awful person I am and have always been. I’ve shown the letter to my friends and they just laugh, because they can’t believe how ridiculous and stupid it is. And it also saddens and infuriates them that it was sent. I wish I had known that I was in a widow fog for the first year. I could have prevented a lot of things from happening. If you should lose your spouse, remember that everything that was theirs is now yours. Protect yourself. Look out for yourself because no one else is. Sorry to say they don’t care. It just adds pain to the pain you are already experiencing because of the loss of your spouse. Protect yourself!
