My wife died eight years ago and I still miss her . Do some people NEVER get over the death of loved one? She was a young, beautiful women by any standard. Within two years of being diagnosed with a rare, incurable cancer, leiomyosarcoma (soft tissue tumor). We never accepted the incurable part and she submitted reluctantly to operations, chemotherapy, radiation, and even a experimental drug. She  suffered more than necessary, partly, I suppose, because I  urged her to get the chemo after the first unsuccessful operation. After that, she accepted every new treatment and many hospitalizations. Sometimes I was relieved that she had to go to the hospital when her blood counts went bad. Still, she was upbeat a good part of the two years and even continued to work right up to a month before she died. There wasn't a dry eye in church when the funeral was held one morning.  I grieved and received counseling,looked a little for a GF, but a year ago went into major depression. I'm in therapy and meds now for a year. & wish everyone would leave me alone. I live alone, travel alone and am alone.

Summarized question: How can one get over the death of a loved one?
