2. No one really understands what you're going through, except you
3. Having a child is not a consolation prize next to a dead husband
4. However, being a parent is the greatest gift
5. Your memories never really fade, instead they play on an endless loop, like background music waiting for the volume to be cranked up or down
6. You end up having to bear the weight of your dead spouse's decisions, alone, for the rest of your life
7. Even with an army of well-wishers and loving family by your side, you're alone, because no one can replace your young husband
8. You really want to give one last whack on your late husband's head, because what was he thinking really?
9. Did I really know this person of 14 years?
10. Was it all just a dream?
11. Can I ever find happiness again?
12. Just like life, death is messy and complicated too
13. You can't forgive or forget
14. Coming back to my parental home was the best and the worst thing that happened to me. Best, because my child is surrounded by so much love and an overdose of pampering. Worst, because I've become an oversized infant all over again.
15. Work is great, but long weekends are even greater
16. There is no such thing as work-life balance. There is only maddening, bone-crushing, never-ending work.
17. Everything reminds me of my late husband - starting with the morning fog to the crickets chirping in the night
18. It sucks that he can never see his child growing up
19. Once the romance fades, there's a pile of household chores, office-work and baby-work. If you're a partner who doesn't contribute in easing this load, then there's a problem
20. I no longer believe in the magic of love, because it got me widowed
21. Forgiving my dead husband is not in the cards anytime soon
22. I can never be at peace with his untimely death
