Members Moment2moment Posted May 6, 2019 Members Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 It is one year today at 9:36 am. She crossed over and my life forever changed. I was terrified for this day to arrive, but it is here and not the horror I anticipated it would be. The sun is out and I feel peaceful. I can cope, use this day to reflect on the love and joy and the good things we lived together for 28 years. Anyway, somewhere I ran into this poem and downloaded it last summer. Today I was drawn to read it again and the comfort it has continued to bring is priceless. I wanted to share it here and thought maybe others had similar things to share so I started this thread. Be at peace- Love, Lily Bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Moment2moment Posted May 7, 2019 Author Members Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 It felt peaceful starting out, but through the day I felt disconnected, like the walking dead myself. It was a gorgeous spring day but I felt oblivious to it. I used to have such a passion, a deep joy in the simplest of things. Birds, flowers, etc. Now nothing. Just one foot in front of the other. Can't remember, can't concentrate, can't focus. My mind is shot. I wonder if I will ever be normal again. I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JES Posted May 7, 2019 Members Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 @Moment2moment I wonder the same thing "will I ever be normal again?" I can function and probably act more normal than I feel. I feel no joy inside, no excitement or looking forward to things I like I used too. I too, hope it doesn't last forever. To just exist is not what I want for the rest of my life. Thinking of all.

It doesn't mean it'll always stay like it is today though, it's ever evolving, not stagnant although it can feel like it at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
