Sunday
I remember feeling the weight of sadness descend, and also the sense of relief that her pain had ended, and the guilty hope that mine might now have an end too. Feels like yesterday, feels like right now, all over again but different. Same knot of conflicting feelings, only they are more familiar now that I have had two years of experience as the "husband of the deceased", the "widower", the "surviving spouse", the "executor", the "sole parent" and all those other things I became that Sunday morning. Less shock, same pain, perhaps more hope.

I hate being a widower,it's the strangest feeling in the world. It's worse when I am around people that know me,I feel,they are somehow treating to me differently. it will be coming up on 3 years that my wife is gone and next week will be her birthday. I keep thinking about the last birthday she was alive.we knew she was sick, but not thinking she was going to die any time soon. We still had hope that the treatments were working.we were able to go out to dinner,and visit my moms house. 3 days later we got the bad news, the treatment didn't work and we were reffered to hospice care. She passed away 3 months later.

Thank God we have our memories to remember the sweet times and help us lessen the sadness and pain of their illnesses. While I miss Ed more than I can imagine, I know his pain needed relief from God.
