- Annie’s Mailbox: Sisters’ comments hurt widow
- August 17, 2010
- Dear Annie: My husband became ill at the age of 27 and was sick for 22 years. I took care of him and raised our two sons, now 25 and 26. He said that after he died, he hoped I’d find someone else to love. He passed away in January. In June, I met an amazing man. “Robert” is a great support for my boys and me. The problem? My two older sisters have never met him, yet they say Robert is bad for me and that I’m neglecting my adult children in their time of need. They insist I stopped grieving too soon.
