I married a widow. The one thing that attracted me to her more than anything else I believe was the love she'd had for her dead husband. I wanted to be loved like that.

Eventually I realized she was the only person I knew who loved like that and even though initially she didn't like me much, well, not at all, I won her heart and we've been together almost twenty years.

I love her dearly, more than I've ever loved anyone or thing. I appreciate her dead husband so much. It was her good relationship with him that has made our good relationship possible.

A couple of times in the first fifteen years or so she told me that she wished she could love me as much as she loved him. I told her not to worry about it. What she considered a little love was the best love I'd ever had and I was happy. The topic hasn't come up in awhile but my perspective hasn't changed.

Keep in mind a scenario I always present to people experiencing such a loss. If you'd fallen and broken your leg you'd have a painfull recovery. But you'd accept that pain as part of the process of healing because you'd know that some day you would walk again.

Emotional pain is no different. There is a healing process. It isn't easy because the loss is so great. But you will get better and when you do you won't lose the appreciation you have for your spouse. If anything it'll grow and your new life will be the better for it.
