“It was a struggle at times to reach this point,” Cindy penned. “I was so accustomed to sharing life with John, there were days when I felt overwhelmed by his absence, and the habits and little problems of ordinary life seemed a challenge.”

She added that one has to learn how to live with a broken heart. “But you learn it’s okay to not be okay every day," she said.
