I hate that there is no one left in my world who knows when I am really ok or not, that there's no one that I am comfortable sharing absolutely everything with, and so few that I can be honest with about what is inside. Logically, I know I'm not completely alone. I know I'm loved and cared for. Today, right now, it just isn't enough.

Same here. I still have our little son and he is the best, but it hurts not having her here to share this. All our plans, all the things we'd started, all the places we wanted to go together, that all came to a stop. Now, I don't know what to do with myself. Our house doesn't feel like home anymore. I don't have anyone to close the day with so I text all these friends before I go to bed. "Are you up?", "Are you up". Got to figure out how to make new plans and how to enjoy what we still have.
This is exactly how I am feeling today. I have kids, some family, and a few friends but it is not what I had. I am missing him so much today. Thank you for writing this and reminding me that we are not alone in this.
Very true words. Family and friends are great but they're not my husband. All that's left of me will have to form together to become whoever it is I am without him. I'm not rushing anything. I'm taking my sweet damn time doing what my heart allows me to do each day. Some days it's more and some days it's way less. I really have no reason these days to get in a hurry to do anything. There's just no one waiting for me at home to hurry back to. I am now in the realization phase of my journey. Scary. I hope you find and take the path that is most comfortable for you. Good luck:(

Comment by Lauralee on July 29, 2012 at 10:25pm The book I am reading now had the following in it that really expressed how I feel so lost too: "When someone you love dies, it's as if they leave you with half shares of your life together. The person you were in their eyes dies with them." I am so afraid I am going to forget how special our love is because right now it is so painful to think about it.

Comment by bettye on July 29, 2012 at 10:00pm My kids are there for me as well as friends and other family members, but the person who knew what I was going to say before I said it, who was always there for me is gone.
Comment by Blue Snow on July 29, 2012 at 9:49pm I feel exactly the same way. {{{{{hugs}}}}}
