How do I live my life now?

How do I live my life now?

The days go by and I get through them,
I don’t really have a choice,
I’d give anything just to see you,
To touch you and hear your voice.

I was never meant to live without you,
We made each other whole,
You made every day worth living,
I love you with all my heart & soul.

Time is meant to be the great healer,
I can say that just isn’t true,
Every day is as hard as the last one,
You go on because that’s what you do.

So I will try and make new memories,
I know you’ll show me how,
Though deep down I don’t want to,
That’s how I have to live my life now.

Hi Jodel712
Your poem is beautiful and so very true. I actually read it aloud to my late husband’s photo. It’s now been 4yrs, last week since losing him and I can honestly say my life as it was ended on that day. As I say to people I’m just putting one foot in front of the other to get through the days.
Hugs to you and all who read it xx

Oh my I’ve just come back on to the site. Your poem has made me cry. It is exactly how I feel x. Each day I try not to bring others down but they really don’t understand that everything we do is because we don’t have a choice but we have to keep going for them. Because we love them. This life is not the one I hoped I would have but I have to keep living it. And I do really try to feel happy xx

Hello everyone
What a lovely poem, it sums up exactly how I feel & the comments others have made I totally agree with. I miss my darling husband & think of him everyday. I try to carry on in a positive way but never thought I would be a widow in my sixties, I thought we would grow old together & have many more years to enjoy together. Life can be so cruel.
