I finally came back to this site, needing to connect with people who understand what it feels like to lose the most important person in our lives. I hope you are doing well.....as well as you can. Time does not heal all wounds; this one will never heal. I have been alone almost 5 years and memories bring much-needed comfort.

I know what you mean. At times the effort to keep going on is overwhelming. I have often thought how much I'd like to be with him again, rather than struggling. If it wasn't for my daughter.......

Shortly after midnight On Dec. 13th, (date my hubby died) I held our 19 year old cat as she died. My daughter had this sweet calico almost as many years as she had her daddy. That tough loss really has brought my husband's death back right in my face. I cried and cried....we have been in "survival" mode since his death. The death of this sweet loyal companion broke the ice and I am finally grieving my beloved husband.

I don't know what comes next.....the pain will never end, only get more bearable. Happy memories help....but I know my heart will always ache. I guess that's part of the price we pay for loving someone so dearly. I wouldn't have changed anything; I was so blessed to have had this awesome man in my life. I truly take one day at a time....and when that's too hard, I take it one hour at a time.

I hope we both find the way to continue on. For me, it's my daughter. I hope you have a good friend or someone you can talk to about what you are feeling and going through.
