weaksoul Posted September 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 Hi all, Hope you are all doing well. While I am feeling a bit better and I can see myself surviving but it's still quite painful. And it's so difficult to deal with the same pain every day. I want to bury this pain deep somewhere so that it does not come back but it's not happening. Now there are times, when I don't feel it much but then all of sudden the pain will hit with full force. Just wanted to vent out a little bit. God bless you all... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past eight years I have had those feelings too. On the days that are difficult I try to tell myself I will just have to keep going and hope the difficult day will pass swiftly. Take good care and I hope you have good days more often than not. Dee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayc Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 I was shocked in the beginning, but have lived alone 18 years now, somehow we get through this, although everyone handles it differently. We find our own path through this. We continue to miss them, life is never the same again, but we do it. (((hugs))) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I can see myself getting thru this but the fact that life is never the same is like a constant nagging pain. Thanks again for the support and warmth.

kayc Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 And you too, it's tough sometimes, I won't kid you. I often wondered during the pandemic how much nicer it would have been to have had him with me. And when I lost my job. That was tough. I miss buying vehicles with him. But hell, I miss everything about him, the hugging, cuddling, talking with him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaksoul Posted September 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 I agree Kay, the pain of separation is considered to be worst pain of all. May God bless you with peace and comfort. Regards!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
