The Way Out

     Five months ago, my life changed.  My husband of 33 yrs, my best friend, the love of my life, suddenly passed away.  We had a stong and loving marriage.  He was so full of life, passionate about everything he did.  We have three wonderful sons.  Two adult sons and one son graduated high school and is on his way to college this fall.  I find myself very much alone and I don't know what to do.  The question I ask myself is where do I go from here.  My life for the past 33 years has been centered around my husband and my children.  Now my husband is gone and my children can survive without me.  I'm lonely, sad, and mostly joyless.
