My husband has been gone just over three months, he will always be the love of my life and our date nights were just one piece of the joy of our deep friendship and love. For the first while I actually described it as drowning - you feel like you are drowning in grief but you don't die . . . you just resurface again and again. Eventually when you surface, you say "I wont die".. .even when it feels like you might. This blog was a lifesaver. The days I could barely get out of bed I turned to this page because it was a space where meaningful things were acknowledged, hope was offered, life continued and all without minimizing the loss of the ones we love. Hang on .. . we are all in the ocean together.<br />PeaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-60466173192878583502011-02-05T12:22:34.529-08:002011-02-05T12:22:34.529-08:00So painful.. so fresh in my heart as well.

This had me racked with sobs, because my baba was a large as life, huge great bear of a man with enormous hands,and when we held hands, my hands were like a child's in comparison ... I had to wrap my hand round his thumb because I couldn't actually hold his hand properly. <br /><br />The "separation" you talk of at the funeral - it's akin to an amputation isn't it? Without anaesthetic ... and you don't bleed to death ... you keep breathing. I'm amazed that we function day to day, considering what the inside of our heads look like.
