Yesterday a husband and wife in the family were being affectionate and I found myself getting really upset and uncomfortable. All I could think was I don't have that with my husband anymore. Should I be feeling like this? It's been almost 4 years since my husband passed away.

Humbled before GOD
This is a human emotion known as envy, it is natural for you to want back what you've lost. It is not the fault of your family, they too are doing what comes natural in showing affection. I think if you avoid looking on in these situations or perhaps let your family members know how it made you feel, that they would be more than willing to ease what is making you upset.
I wish I could offer more advice than this and I hope that my words have not offended you.
My prayers are with you as you overcome the pain.

I am not offended by your words. You are right. I am envious and I know I have to let God take control of it.
Thanks for your prayers.

It's been over 20 years since my husband passed away, and I still get envious of other couples showing effection. I've even remarried and it still hurts to see it. God bless you all on your journies. It does get easier. The pain may never go away, but in time you'll learn how to live again.
