Today is my 70 th Wedding Anniversary. I lost Paul 2 years ago this March. So, we were together 70 years, married for 68 yrs. The grief is with me every moment of everyday. I have lost my independence. Yes- I do identify with everything you said. But I can guarantee it will not be accepted. No- so in my very old age- I have to find my own joy. And, I will do that. I can not stop missing and needing Paul, but I can live with God's Grace in Gratitude that I had him for so long. And, this great big wonderful family that came from our marriage. Amen
What a wonderful legacy. Thanks for sharing about your lifetime of love with Paul. I guess the double edged sword of true love is the inevitable loss of it at some point. We can never be ready for it. I had less than half that time with Jim but am still at a loss 4 yrs later. I also have a relationship with the Lord which keeps me (at least partially) sane. My mom went into full blown Alzheimer’s after my dad died after 63 years together. So l lost my daddy, mom and husband all within 4 years. As David said in the bible, my loved one will not return to me but l will go to them. Knowing that is the best comfort of all. Blessings!
I guess I hide my grief well. I lost a few family members, all within 9 months time. Two were sudden deaths. The last one being my dad. I was too busy getting his affairs in order, no time to grieve. I’ve locked my emotions. He’s been gone over 13 years now, and I still haven’t grieved. I do have nightmares quite often, were I’m yelling and screaming at him, fighting him. Asking him why he took off on us. It’s disturbing to say the least. I’m on meds to keep it at bay. The others appear in my dreams from time to time. I don’t even know why I’m writing all this. Maybe I’m losing my humanity.
You’re not losing your humanity, you’re overflowing with it and your brain doesn’t know where to put it all. Try journaling to process the feelings and get them out. I hope you find peace and joy again soon. 🖤
Normal....try meditating (joel Goldsmith) or a course in miracles. It's been 13 years for me and I having grieved yet, but have dreams venting strong emotions which is a good thing until i can bringvtgem up and out consciously

No it's just a trip 😔
