When you're talking about your deceased spouse how do you refer to them?
I still call him my husband when I talk about him. I actually stopped myself one day and said to someone, 'I don't know how to refer to him because it sounds like he's still here when I talk about him but I don't know how to refer to him.'
For me I often talk to people who are not aware that I had a husband and that he has died. Therefore, I feel like it sends a confusing message and I have no idea how to clear it up simply, without having to say, I was married and he has passed away. That gets old.
