I find a lot of solace in this poem. When someone leaves us in death or other ways, I don't believe they want us to suffer, they want us to go on and make our lives as best we can.

But its so hard seeing we love the person who has left us.... But maybe we should l00k @ it another way!!
They are not stuck on this hell hole anymore,they dont have to suffer with the crap here on earth now...... they are lucky!!
January will be 6 years now. I live a totally different life in SW Florida. I swapped my wedding rings for a family ring. I don't date, have no interest in sharing my life with another man, I live for me. I am as happy and content as I can be without my husband with me and he better be happy about that!

Yeah, Pip, seems like only yesterday, huhn?
People have written to me over the years thanking me for the posting I used to do and to them I hope my words of hope and healing have come true for them. I know the counseling others gave to me came true. I had a hard time believing them but by golly, time is our friend in its own way.
I learned to compartmentalize the grief. It's still in me but I live life around it. Despite it. I learned life DOES go on, even if you can't see how yet.

Four years for me and in pretty much the same head space. I sometimes wrestle with "Would I bring him back if it meant I had to continue working and still live in NJ?" Because I now live in a lower cost area, I've built a great circle of friends, I'm about to retire, and I'm really loving this new life. I try to tell myself that he would want this for me.

My husband told me to find another love. I told him no then but he wanted me to so bad that I quit arguing with him. I WAS scared to be alone and lonely but it's not so bad. I do miss him and being a couple but on the other hand I love being my own boss and having to answer to no one. I am (was) an only child so I am used to being alone. My selfishness is well taken care of now. I would trade everything if he could be back and healthy but I have to deal with the cards we were dealt.
I am sure your hubby would want the very best for you in his absence. Sounds like you are doing okay. Congrats.
