by Getting older is never easy, especially after the love of your life passes away. The pain of losing a spouse can feel overwhelming, leaving behind a sense of crushing loneliness.
Meet Bernard Thompson
Ninety-three-year-old Bernard Thompson was a proud Midwesterner. He had lived in Omaha, Nebraska for his whole life. Bernard had worked in agriculture as a younger man, but had got a job in a supermarket when he was 70 to supplement his pension and had been there ever since.
Bernard didn’t need much to be content—just a steady routine, hearty meals, and his favorite pair of sturdy boots—but a recent tragedy had left him reeling. He couldn’t have predicted that his life was about to be thrown into turmoil all over again.
