The new life is a blessing.<br />Speaking of blessings--you are one.

My wife passed on March 27th. Today marks two months. My first wife died almost 15 years ago (cancer). I had forgotten how the pain of the hollowness inside can hurt. I am going through it again and there is not a damn thing I can seem to do about it. I am told by the bereavement facilitator at Hospice that this is "normal". As a man of faith all the proper 'cliches" are not working right now. Dead is dead is dead--gone for good--see ya. But --I got through it once and was OK. I will again. But, like it or not, you must feel the loss & emptiness first. It is a painful journey but it will be completed. It Makes Sense To Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791193453654248449noreply@blogger.com
