When my husband of 50 years died, I happened to meet a woman who had also lost her husband. She told me that, even if I believe in God, can feel my late parents love, whatever, I needed to accept that my husband is dead. He will not give a Happy Birthday sign or respond to a text or say that he loves me. And six years afterwards, I have to say, I can accept the sucky, sad reality. Dave is dead. Sucks.
