My best friend from high school wife died a few months ago....Like me his wife was several years older than him.
He was/is asking me since my wife died almost three years now does it get any easier....i told him everybody is different ...for me no.
No matter what anybody says to you will not make you feel any better....to me anyway it didn't...
for me after about 18-20 months the worst was people who mean well telling you "you will get over it and move on"
I hated that and still do more than anything....plus the people trying to "set you up" with somebody else.
I finally told one women i know ....i thank you for thinking of me but really im not interested.
He is lucky he has 2 grown daughters and a large family for support.
I tried to tell him what works for me might not help you....
The problem is he is calling me almost daily....and im trying to find a way of telling him maybe you should call your family or daughters.
He says im the only one who knows what he is going through....yes...but its making me very depressed hearing it all over again.
Im wondering should i call his brother/sister and tell him he needs pro help....im not the person that will be able to help him in the long term....
