Becoming Independent

So for so many years now I have had Robbie around to do all of those things that we wife's deem "man's work". I've sat around this house for the past 5 months waiting for someone to come along and do these things for me & for awhile after he died I did have wonderful people that helped me & I appreciate it so much. On Wednesday a friend came & helped me paint my bedroom. The next morning I woke up feeling a whole lot better & I've done several things since that Robbie would have normally done for me. Are they easy for me to do. Not necessarily because I've got to figure stuff out but I have and I feel so proud of myself for it.
