Simple Words~

I don't really have any words this week.

I miss my husband more than any words can convey.

The more time passes, the more months go by, the more deeply embedded his absence from my life becomes.

If I were to write a full blog this week, it would consist of I miss you, I miss you, I miss you over and over and over again.

It would be written to my husband and the page would be nothing but a smear for all of the tears that would slip from my heart onto that page.

No matter how far I travel, physically and emotionally, this will always be in my heart.

I miss you.

  1. Hugs to you Alison. Some days words don't do it - there is only pain. The only good thing is that it doesn't last forever.

  3. I am so sorry for your loss and wish we did not share this life experience of loss and widowhood. Sometimes there are no other words except 'I miss you'. Thank you

  5. So many emotions come with this crappy hand we have been dealt. I find that the days where they all pour into the thought "I miss you", are the days where I am just spent. It's like I tore through anger and denial and rage and longing and sadness and that one simple sentence is all that is left. Take care of yourself today if possible. I wish you(and all of us) some peace.

    1. Karen,
      I think that's key-that none of us feel alone, because how much worse would it be if we were?

      Love to you over the miles~

    1. Almarie,
      What a lovely invitation, straight from the heart! I'll have to look up Petra and find out about it-it sounds beautiful. There is a book just waiting to be written-its more about finding the time and a place where I can write without distractions and I know it will happen when the time is right.

      Thank you so much for reaching out to me and brightening my day-such love keeps me going~
