I am still attending grief support meetings. They help. I started attending bible study. It’s the Gospel of John which is my favorite gospel, so I go, hoping to find comfort.
It is still hard. I am so sad and I cry a lot and I feel so alone even in a room full of family.
There is still no name plate on Rich’s niche at the cemetery. I go to visit him once or twice every month and I stare at a blank wall. It just tears me apart. It has been 6 months since my husband passed away.
When we moved here, we transferred all the information over from the funeral home in our last city. We met with the people here and went over everything.
When Rich passed away, we met with the funeral director and again went over everything and made sure he had the information he needed.
The other day I went to the funeral home to complain yet again (3rd time). No nameplate has even been ordered. I talk to a different person each time I go. This time I had to bring him out there to show him what all the name plates look like so he would know what to order.
How am I supposed to heal? How am I supposed to try to go forward when I cannot even get my husband’s name on his final resting place? When I go visit him, I have to count in order to figure out which niche is his.
Maybe I should call 60 Minutes.

Barb, I’m OK. I’ve calmed down. However, if it is not there in 6 weeks, then I will have to do something about that.
