So this week (on Thursday), we will see the 24th week since John has passed away. On July 31st, it will be the official "6 month" anniversary date since John passed.
On one hand its hard to believe its come so quickly, but at other times, the 6 months has felt like 6 years.

The only one (for the most part, anyway...)
Something I've discovered in these 3 months as a widow is that it really is SO easy to take for granted having a partner in your life who helps out with things. They always were there and you probably never thought twice about how much easier life used to be in that aspect.
When your partner passes away, it turns out that there are many, many situation in which you end up being "the only one" able to shoulder the burden because you are the only one LEFT.
Side note: have I ever mentioned I hate the word "widow"? I do. I loathe it. I know its what I "technically" am, but I just hate the word. Or maybe I don't hate the word so much as I hate that the word applies to ME. How can I be a widow?? I'm only 31. But damn it if that isn't the cards I was handed and the life I am living...life is full of surprises and they aren't always good ones. Sometimes those surprises are the stuff nightmares are made of.
Moving on...
