And just like that, most every morning for the three years since my wife moved out, my big bed's emptiness is full again.

One long moment, feeling more fury than I had felt since my wife died.

The years since his wife and son died have been a blur.

"Hardly, Jason, since your own wife hasn't yet been dead a year."

I been going over there every day and doing her shopping since my wife passed on.

He has not left the bar since his wife Bess's death 20 years ago.

"What have you been eating for the year since your wife left?"

And what about in the past month since his wife died?

Especially since his wife, an architect, was one of those artistic people who wasn't practical about things like gas and water.

Always loved the place since my wife and I had stayed mere on numerous vacations.
