Seven years today. I am lost and will be for the rest of my life.

Went to the cemetery yesterday to think a while. Pulled some weeks, noticed many new neighbors buried near my husband. My thoughts are with those left behind. Sad day and sadder still today.
Will go to do a little volunteer work today, maybe that will help.
Don't feel like doing anything else.

Has it really been 7 years? Time passes so quickly and yet, so slow and painful when it's sadness.

I wish there was a way to take away your grief, everyone's grief but there isn't. The only good thing about grief? .. The fact that you had such great love. There is no grief if there hasn't been love. I'm rambling and I hope you understand what I mean.

Be kind to yourself today. Volunteering a while may just be what you need. I'm sure someone will appreciate the moments you give.

with love.

for your loss. Anniversaries and holidays make grief worse. Father's day was miserable for me.
