You know how much I’ve loved you
You know I always will
And although you’re no longer here
You know I love you still.
I watch the world around me
I wish you hadn’t died
I must have cried a million tears
And know there’s more inside.
Each day I think about you
I say that with no shame
And even though you had to go
I love you just the same.

Alone1. What beautiful words. And so true for so many of us others as well. They echo my thoughts regarding my wife, Mary, who died last month.
I was at her grave this morning and saw this on a neighbouring gravestone. I thought this was also so nice.

As long as I live, you will live.
As long as I live, you will be remembered.
As long as I live, you will be loved.
Take care. Much love, and remember you’re not alone here. M
Marnee, So sorry to hear of the recent loss of your wife. I hope you are coping and have the support of your family around you.
It’s coming up to 4 years at the end of January since I lost my partner, but it still feels so raw and unbelievable. The heartache and pain never leaves.
What beautiful words on the neighbouring gravestone. Thank you for sharing.
Take care x
Another beautiful poem - I can resonate with every word - thank you for sharing! 
Alone1, thank you, and yes my 20 strong close family were all together on Christmas Day and yesterday was spent with my youngest daughter and her family. They live next door, which is just as well as we, and some other mutual friends all got totally spliced on Prosecco, wine and Kahlua and cream shots! No alcohol today!
Hi Marnee
So glad you and your family had a good Christmas (under the circumstances).
That’s nice your daughter and her family live next door to you.
Hope you haven’t got too much of a headache after the Prosecco and the other drinks (but it was worth it? )
Best wishes for the New Year and stay strong. It’s still early days for you x
Dear @Nigel-Marnee
Thank you for sharing these words.
They made me sob -they echo everything I feel.
I honestly feel that my whole purpose in life now is to keep my husband ‘alive’.
By talking about him, writing his name on cards, pictures of him everywhere, presents from him to others…
I simply will never let him be forgotten.
So these words so resonated.
I’m even going to search them on internet and see if I can get a plaque or something with them on.
Even though I’m in tears, I am so grateful for you sharing these words.
Thank you so much
Oh thank you! Didn’t want to make people cry but they are so lovely aren’t they?
Dear @Nigel-Marnee
I found a site on Etsy where you can get personalised plaques.
I ordered one with those lovely words. Took it to put with my husbands tree today

CathPhil, oh I’m so pleased for you. They’re such lovely words aren’t they? M xxx
