One of my first thoughts after my husband passed away (four years ago in May) was "I will never be the same." Later, I would write in an essay "I am not the same person that I was when he died." In my post Even Lava Cools Eventually, I described grief as "a molten, bubbling, red-hot river of volcanic lava, unceremoniously destroying everything in its path and reshaping the landscape underneath."
