I think of your kiss,
Softly on my neck at night.
My hand reaches out.
I find nothing there.
For a moment, I forgot.
I sigh with regret.
My heart won’t believe
That you are not here with me.
I ache for your touch.
I miss your whispers
As I fall asleep at night.
Like a lullaby.
Each night it’s the same.
I call for you in my sleep.
But you are not there.
Morning comes. I reach.
Feeling nothing but fresh sheets.
I turn and I cry.
Tears run down my face.
For part of my heart shattered
When you left this Earth.

Oh gosh. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. How very tragic. I hate that you lost your husband. I can only imagine that pain. I am happy that my words could touch you though. And I am honored you will keep it. May God continue to help you with your grief.

That it is. I am sorry for you too. It works itself out, but I find it good therapy to write too, as well as letting life take it’s course.

Oh, I don’t know if I am lucky or not, but I have never had an ultimate true love who passed. I was just writing about how I thought it must feel. I would hate to have lost my true love, but to do that, I have to find them first. However, I have lost other loved ones in my life. I know that pain sadly. And yes, writing is a great form of therapy:)

My heart breaks for you then. I know time can never heal a loss that deep, but I hope you can find a new normal eventually. God bless.

I have, sometimes it slips, but I balance out again. You either make a choice to move ahead or you get stuck, and being stuck that deep is not something I could do as I had 2 small girls to raise.

I can imagine. I have a family member who lost a child and it’s a heartbreak so deep it changes you. They were stuck for awhile but are pulling themselves out now. I wish you and your girls well.
