I hate it when I am referred to as a widow! I just hate it! I don't see why I should be proud. I would love it if I could say "I'm so-and-so's wife". Give me a reason to be proud of being a widow. Thanks again.Elainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-36555290287480931352012-05-21T16:21:19.894-07:002012-05-21T16:21:19.894-07:00I'm new at this just six months so far.

Other people have felt exactly like I am feeling, most importantly it reminds me that although the last six months feel like forever without my soul mate, that yes life is short, and that love is for eternity! The first words he will say to me, what took you so long, I love you! Then I will feel the arms I have waited forever it seems to feel wrap around me and once again I will finally feel whole!Jananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-15760161501568504362012-05-21T06:50:42.191-07:002012-05-21T06:50:42.191-07:00Perfectly said Taryn... we should carry your words...Perfectly said Taryn... we should carry your words with us each and everyday.

I am trying to figure out what I can possibly say to a former Soldier of mine who just lost her husband in Afghanistan where they were deployed together. Although I feel I'd be lying if I told her that things get "better" over time since I'm all too aware that, five years later, there is no such thing as "better," I think I can rest easy telling her a few of the things you wrote without feeling like I'm leading her astray or putting a big bow on something that can't be neatly packaged and made to look pretty. So thank you. Much love, as always!<br />~JennaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728447120014530297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-91530770939848950012012-05-19T17:05:53.337-07:002012-05-19T17:05:53.337-07:00Thank you..

Am debating if I can delete "THE phone call" from the hospital that came in the middle of the night, saying come at once, from my cell phone, to mark the milestone. <br /><br />I not sure if I can delete it until I understand why I've kept it.

There is one thing I can't help but wonder, especially since you're at five years; are you in a new relationship yet, or considering it? Please don't take offense, I've just always been curious about where you are with that aspect of widowhood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-5875908609805948112012-05-19T07:36:24.806-07:002012-05-19T07:36:24.806-07:00Thank you for this "mantra".
