10 years

10 years ago I got the phone call telling my me soul mate was gone.
My life changed in a instant, I hurt so much, it was like a ball lodged in my chest. I ached for him, I'd have done anything to hold him again for just a minute.
10 years later, I'm a different person, I do carry a sadness with me always. But I learnt to live again, and eventually love again.
There is a part of me that is forever damaged a part of me that died that day with him.

As shit as it is when people say it, they are right. Time does eventually heal.

I love him. I'll never stop loving him.
You'll get through this. I promise.

Thank you for writing that. It's 10 years ago today I met by husband. He died a few weeks ago. Every day it just seems to get worse. People talk about time making things better, but I just can't see it. Time isn't going to bring him back and that's the only thing I want. Thank you for writing, it helps to read things like that. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I agree that time does make things better, but what that doesn't really address is just how much time, and how bleak those long years are.

I know Poudrenez
I just wanted some of the more recent members of this crappy club to maybe draw a little strength from it.

Everyone on this board needs every scrap they can get. Xxx

There's never much to say. I'm glad my post helped a little.
It's not an easy journey, by any means. It's a bloody awful one, but it's compulsory unfortunately and one day you will wake up and realise that you've survived it.
