Thank you for your post. On June 21, 2011...Taryn, <br /><br />Thank you for your post. On June 21, 2011, the love of my life died next to me at 3:11 a.m. unexpectedly of a massive heart attack. There were no goodbyes and no closure. It's been 26 months and, at times, I feel as though it were yesterday that the love of my life died. I've spent the past two weeks struggling with the memories and crying. There is still a shock of sorts that comes and goes. I wanted to share these words that I read earlier with you and all the others here on WV.<br /><br />"...time, in and of itself, does not heal all wounds. There is no magic in the one- or two-year anniversary date following a loss...death does not end a relationship. Emotionally relocating the deceased is a dynamic process that will continue throughout the life cycle. Love endures death. The loss of a significant loved one is something that is not gotten “over.” <br /><br />Many of us have family and friends who expect us to be over it and to have moved on. Only those of us who walk this lonely road of grief understand that we will never truly get over the death of our spouses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-12100397839560581652013-08-24T07:48:56.182-07:002013-08-24T07:48:56.182-07:00Taryn -

He reached up to me, through a haze of medication he said "I love you so much."<br />While he took his last breaths I stroked his face and whispered "I love youIloveyouIloveyou . . "<br /><br />These moments are engraved on my soul. <br />I am struggling again to fine the peace I thought I had uncovered, the acceptance and the moving forward but like the sea it pulls me back. I know I must stand and wait quietly and remember.<br /><br />These moments, almost 4 years ago were the ending and the beginning.<br />I have to trust in that.<br /><br />Thank you. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
