Support group helped me cope with loss of my wife

My wife died of acute leukemia in December 2012. It was a few days from the diagnosis to her death. Everything happened so suddenly and I was really crushed.

We were schoolmates and had been married for 50 years. Actually, her death just came a few days after our 50th wedding anniversary. I really wasn't anticipating it.

I couldn't face the reality of it all and was crying a lot. At some points, I thought it would be better to be with her rather than stay in this world alone.
