My Heart Forgets

I loved long, but not long enough; then lost him to cancer in 2014. Everything was going so well, an apparent cure, rehab was in sight, and all came crashing down very unexpectedly and quickly. Loss feels like skirting the edge of an abyss. I try using words and pictures to move back from the edge a milimeter at a time. Faith, family, and friends, are crucial... as is letting myself experience feelings as they come. I'm not an expert - I am a survivor.
