My husband died almost five years ago after a illness. We had been 42 years. I think of him and miss him every day but the pain isn’t as sharp as it used to be and I have rediscovered my joys in every day life. But I have found that it has become more and more difficult to credit the reality of the life we shared. Without him to validate and augment my recollections, some times I question whether or not those events actually occurred. Did I really live that life with him or was it a dream? Does any one else experience this?

That's what is hardest: Knowing the best is over.
