We write about widowhood as we live it. Together we examine the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of life as a widowed person. The views expressed here are those held by each individual author. We take no credit for their brillance; we just provide them with a forum for expressing their widowed journey in words that are uniquely their own.

six weeks ago
today was tuesday.
and it sucked.
started the day working
on the stuff
i didn’t want to
work on.
wrote the check for
liz’s
funeral today.
and mailed
two copies of
her
death certificate
out to some folks
who need them.
also had to
get something from
her
closet.
and for the first
time was faced with
her
hamper full
of dirty clothes
and
her
wall of shoes.
they made me
cry.

(silent nod): yes.
ReplyDeleteYou will cry on her clothes and shoes. You will not want to wash her clothes because they will still hold her scent. You will try to preserve it. But eventually... it will fade and you must let that go also. And it will hurt all over again. Been there, done that.
