"I'm not sure who wrote this, but it about sums it up. ‘Widowhood is more than missing your spouse's presence. It's adjusting to an alternate life. It's growing around a permanent amputation," he said with tear-filled eyes that threatened to spill over.
A Life Forever Altered
John Schneider from Dukes of Hazzard shared how hard daily life is — like going to bed for the first time without your spouse by your side.
