My elder daughter had just been married and the younger one, ten years younger was still in school. But faith in God, was my main source of support and sustenance . Slowly and steadily things began to fall into place and now seven yaers later I will say that I am a stronger and more self supportive . So I think despite Eric's early demise I feel if you have a strong faith that God is always there for you then the pain of seperation , any feeling of guilt and worries about facing the world will definitely disappear gradually.

I have that same guilt with a sunny day the time changes and things my husband loved. You are a young woman that this happened to much to early and at 56 I feel the same confusion, go with your gut, celebrate Eric's life thru living yours fully.
