Why the anger?

Dana here. A simple question i ask. Several weeks ago andrea and I were attending a function with some friends. We were enjoying the day and all of our friends who were there. There was one person andrea and i were having a conversation with and boy was it an eye opener.

he is a very well respected and enjoyable gentleman who not long ago lost his wife to a long battle with cancer. We had been conversing for about 10 mins and we start getting into deeper conversation. We asked how he is doing with the loss of his lovely wife, and he boldly said he is doing well and is learning to get through each day. He told us about some of the stages of emotions that follow when you lose someone you love. One of the stages he mentioned that will stick in my mind for the rest of my life, is anger. Not anger like you would think. Like i mentioned before this was a very wise and loving man. He said that the hardest thing is seeing people in marriages, treating their spouses like garbage. He hated seeing people speak to and act with anger to the one they so call 'love'. It sure was a reality check for me. So i challenge you to ask yourself. Am i Loving my spouse the best i can? Am i treating them with the love i promised them on our wedding day?
