[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 137280, member: 1697"] an observation, when my first husband died (we had no kids) well, we had been together almost 10 years. It was difficult for ME becuz if I said one word about him, people would very quickly change the subject or even get up and walk away! It did not matter that I was NOT droning on and on or dwelling on his...if I said so much as, oh husband showed me how to cook this---after I was asked where I learned to cook this- people would......change the subject! It made me sad, and angry, becuz hey, OK my husband was gone, BUT I was NOT gone and those last 10 years I was part of his life and he was part of my life and to deny HIS existance also denied 10 years of MY history.I found it difficult that they could not even let me speak his name out loud, becuz THEY were not comfortable with remembering he HAD lived. So I never did ever gte to really mention him at all again after about 2 days after his funeral. I did not think that was entirely fair to ME. [/QUOTE]
