Widowed Village

A community of peers created by the Soaring Spirits Loss Foundation

My heart died the day yours stopped beating.

Sitting here alone trying to figure out my life
They call me widow, I call me your wife.

I will never understand why
I am still living and you had to die.

I put on a face for everyone to see
they think I'm okay, only I know that could never be
me here without you...you there without me.

I promise to try, give it all I got
Life is lonely, don't know if people can see
I'm broken inside
me here without you...you there without me.

I am at 21 months, I have been told it gets easier with time, I wonder how much time?

I too as you say put on a face, I am sure to most people they think that I am fine and somehow have gotten over the loss of the love of my life. If they only knew the truth.

Wow, what a beautiful poem! It seems like you read my mind and spoke my heart. I am 18 months but feel very broken. I am new to this site, but I feel it is full of kindred spirits. Hugs to you!

Poppy'sgirl, you put all the word and feelings together very well. Your at 21M I'm at 11M, I was

hoping time would ease some of the pain,I was hoping it would be sooner than later.  But you

can't have someone ripped from you life and expect to ever be the same. I just wonder what's

in store for all of us. Hugs
