Hello everyone it's been quite awhile since I posted but I have been reading posts almost everyday. Thanks to all that celebrated my one year anniversary smoke free! Unfortunately last month my husband of 20 years  died of a heart attack and I am devastated.I lost my best friend and a wonderful man and I miss him very much. I did not smoke though. What good would that do me? NONE.

My very deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband and best friend.  My heart is hurting for you.

BUT - I am SO proud of you for not smoking.  WOW is all I can say!

I hope that your loving memories of your time together each day will help to lessen the pain you are feeling.

I am so sorry for the loss of your husband.  I do understand.   I pray that you heal from your grief and are able to move on but you  will always miss him and wish he was there.  Congratulations on not smoking.  You are correct, it would not have helped.

Big cyber hug to you for the loss of your husband. I can’t even fathom what your went through and still go through. I’m so sorry. 

I elated to hear you remained a non smoker and congrats on a year in! I hope you stay active here now. It’s a wonderful circle of friends I have made that remind me why I never want to go back to smoking and encourage me in all areas of my life. 

Hugs,

I am so sorry for your loss.  I am so proud of you for staying quit and for knowing that it would change nothing if you smoked.  

My heart aches for you, I do hope that you are able to stay close to the site and to feel the love and prayers coming your way.  Grief is so hard and there is no time limit, we all grieve in our own ways and our own time.  Let yourself grieve and let yourself remember this man you loved so much who was your best friend.  Take care of yourself as you know he would want you to.

Sending love and hugs and prayers,

Ellen
