Losing someone

Losing someone you couldn’t imagine living without feels like the world has shifted, but no one else seems to notice.
The days keep coming, people keep talking, life moves on but you feel stuck in a moment that no longer exists.
Their absence isn’t just emotional it’s physical, it’s reaching for their hand in the dark, dialling their number before remembering they wont answer, hearing their favourite song and feeling the air leave your lungs.
Grief isn’t just sadness it’s love with nowhere to go and somehow you learn to carry it not because you want to but because you have no other choice

Yes, it’s like being in a parallel world and you can feel like an outsider. I feel it, too. Everyone else is living, but the grieving are just ? somewhere. It’s a strange feeling.

I understand how you feel, I feel like half of me is missing and I’m not living anymore just existing

It’s nearly 4 years and 2 months since Alan died.
I still miss him so much as the days and years pass.
The pain of grief softens a little, but I still miss him today and every day.

Yes I still can’t believe he’s not coming back. I am hoping there is after life and I will see him again. If not it is unbearable and whatever I am doing I am always thinking about him and us. Love and hugs to all in this awful situation xxx

Even after 4 years, it hasn’t got any easier, and time certainly hasn’t healed. The tears are never far away.

Spent the afternoon going through photos to get together an album of my husband. So many memories it was hard but we had been together for 55 years

That’s a long time to be with someone, I was with my husband for 22 years, we had just celebrated our wedding anniversary 3 days before we found out he had cancer.
