Lost loved one
Loss
It's been five and a half months since my dear husband passed away due to his colon cancer. I am only now able to write a little about this. I am undergoing counseling and meds to help cope with his passing. I look forward to the day when I have energy and drive to move again through life! So many memories - ones that console and ones that continue to hurt. But I used to be a strong woman so I should be able to look at life through happy eyes again. This might sound heartless but in many ways my dear husband had the much easier path than all of his family he left behind. My faith consoles me that I will "see" him again when I pass. That thought is so comforting. And every morning I give thanks to God for a gift of one more day. I miss my husband just so much! Thanks for reading this.
