Thank you Niel,

I need a place just to come, talk - be validated and understood that some days, as a grieving partner, I am welcome  to do just that.  I reached into the bag where his box is kept to touch and feel what is left of him here on earth.  I was desperate to find some little bit of comfort - anything to ease it; but no he's long gone, and I'm left behind to struggle,  forever pleading with him not to leave me behind; we were supposed to go together, a pact of love. I at least wish that I could have held him in my arms....I'm here don't be afraid I love you.

These are words of the ages: I know this grief is nothing new; it's just new to me.

I am a relatively new member: my beloved has been gone a little less than three months. There has been no real celebration of his extraordinary life, only in my heart; I still can't imagine even speaking his name w/o sobbing.

Thank you for this venue, Niel

David
