Does anyone else have a hard time listening to advice from someone who hasn't lost anyone in their family? Except for maybe an 85 year old Aunt? I know people mean well, but sometimes I just don't have the energy to listen, nor the heart to say anything!

I am appalled when people liken being a widow to being divorced- really ! I mean if my husband were still alive we would be married.  I know people mean well but this is a little different than when they had to put the dog asleep !

I just smile and say thank you and think someday you will know what it's like and I will give you the same advise you gave me.
