LOUISA'S LEITER V -J) ==g

Dear Louisa, My husband died two months ago and I can’t seem to get myself together since then. 1 sit at home and think about how lonely I am and how awful it was for him to die when he was only forty-six years old. It was such a shock because he had never been sick and I was unprepared for any such shock as this. I'm not worried about finances as there is enough insurance to let me live in complete comfort but what can I do now when my whole life was wrapped up in one person and that person is gone? I feel sometimes as if I was losing my mind? What can I do? Lonely— Vir. Answer: Very few people are prepared when their loved ones pass away but the manner in which they meet disaster decides their future happiness or unhappiness to a great extent. It’s a bad mistake to indulge in self pity or remorse for what you might have done in the past.

In your case, you should face the facts and decide on a course that will bring rewards to you and your community. There’s a great void in your life and it must be filled by other interests. There are so many worthwhile projects in this world that need your help and, that of others such as you, that it should be easy for you to find some of them and work with them. There are old people and little children in homes and orphanages that yearn for love and attention — there are beautification projects for your community — there is a great need for church workers, etc. I don’t guarantee that these things will take the place of the husband that you have lost but it will keep you from becoming a neurotic or having a nervous breakdown. v It will give you other things to think about besides yourself and a great deal of satisfaction. Louisa Address: Louisa, Box 532, Orangeburg, S.C. 29115
