Nothing takes away the sadness of the heart. Not time or good intentions or kind words. The deep sorrow has become a part of everyday life. Always felt as the seconds tick by and become days, months. One learns to live with what we have been given, but it does not ease the ache of loss. The sharp edges dull as time marches on.

Here's to our DateSometimes I sit and wonder how I'll make it through the day.Yet never in a million years, would I expect you'd want to stay.I know the place you're in far outweighs this place.But I can't begin to tell you how I long to see your face.

I can’t tell you how many times I have referred to this verse when my grief has paralyzed my body. I cling to His promise and pray for divine understanding.  I’ve taken a few weeks off from writing, because in all honestly I had nothing positive to write.

I know for me, it has been a long road and the Journeys is not over. While still feeling as if I don't know where I belong.  You don't really realize your alone till time passes you by and your not as numb but  after loosing someone so close to you can cause you to feel such a void inside.

October 6,2011… My husband is in his hospice bed in OUR room.    I knew time was short,  he spends much of his time in a altered state.  He is seeing things I cant see.   I wonder if he is seeing old friends  and  relatives that have already passed.   I ask God  to  let me know when his momen

The day my husband told me he was ready to go sent my mind to days gone by. I remember how I felt as we took our vows and danced at our reception. Bob could not dance so we went in circles, but I did not care I was in his arms and looking forward to a life with my husband.

I will never forget the trip to Barnes for the biopsy of the cancer in my husbands mouth.  We arrived as instructed and waited in the waiting room for Bob to be called.  I was looking around and the different cancer patients and recall thinking how i wish there was a magic cure for this thing called cancer.  One that would be without pain.
