  INSPIRATIONAL WEEKLY

Widowhood

Broken, shattered, pieces of our lives lie.
When you unexpectedly was called to die.
Where do I get the strength? Where do I get the will to put together what has left me a Widow.
All alone
So Lonely
I'm in a class of Widowhood.
 
Words, expressions, sentiments contain only a fragment of my pain. Honestly, it's not fair...
One day were together, the next your gone.It makes no sense that can be humanly understood.
I'm left alone in
Widowhood. Widowhood AfterTalk
 The longing, yearning to hear your voice, to feel your touch, to smell your presence, to feel your embrace, the softness of your kiss.How do I accept
No more holding you close...
No more whispering sweet nothing's in your ear.....
How do I manage without you?
Constant reminders everyday..
the kids
Our home
the way you folded the bath towel, elegantly reminded me, we are one. I'm suppose to accept that
It's Done.Widowhood
 
Disbelief, shocked, sad, fear, heartbroken to name a few is what I feel without you. You are my life beyond measure, Your my husband my eternal treasure. Widowhood
 
I know there a space where your watching over me, all the angels that I cannot see.
I'm holding tight..tight every memory, every laugh, every cry, every joy, every thought, every hug, every family outing, every moment of our oneness that we've embraced.I' m holding on to those days it was just you and I.
