I Love My Husband

I can still say that I do, even though our marriage never worked out, and he passed away last year. He was my family. I miss him.

My one regret is that our marriage wasn’t a happy one. Thats the sad part. No going back. It is what it is, yet I still recall him with fondness and love. I can say “if only” till the cows come home, but it does no good to wish for what can never be. It’s gone. He’s gone. Forever.

The End.

Sorry for the loss

Carissimi · 70-79, F

Thank you. @samueltyler2

@Carissimi I see you said that you are sort of feeling better about the situation, the human brain is amazing, how we can compensate and move on. It always amazes me.

Carissimi · 70-79, F

It’s time. Time heals. I still miss him, but with time, it’s become easier to bear. @samueltyler2

@Carissimi I suppose you will always miss him, that is normal, but with time, the severity of the pain diminishes. The world is not as bad as you state, and you do have a future ahead.

Carissimi · 70-79, F

Well, my future is a different matter. I’m already living in the future that was the past 7-years ago when I joined EP, so I have already seen how this works. My prospects are worse today than they were 7-years ago, so I’m not expecting much from the future. My best days are behind me, but that’s the same for most as we age. @samueltyler2

@Carissimi how old are you? I am 76 and still feel I have a lot of good years ahead!

Carissimi · 70-79, F

Everyone’s life is different. We have different personalities, needs, and experiences. What makes one happy may not be for another. I’m happy you feel this way, and I wish you well. @samueltyler2

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@Carissimi thank you, I wish I could help you.

Carissimi · 70-79, F

@samueltyler2 It is what it is. I’ve accepted this. I may not like it, but it’s reality. Thanks anyway.

@Carissimi My motto has always been, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Carissimi · 70-79, F

Yes. You do your best with what you have in any given moment. I’ve done this for decades, but even making the best of it is not a remedy for the trials of life. You do what you can, and have to live with the losses, whatever they are for each individual. We can’t be judging people when we haven’t walked in their shoes. @samueltyler2

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@Carissimi so true. I do wish I could make your outlook better.

Carissimi · 70-79, F

Why? My outlook is fine as it is and rests in the reality of my everyday life. I don’t look through rose tinted glasses. I face my challenges head on, but I’m not going to pretend to be happy about them. Don’t concern yourself with me. You don’t know anything about my life. @samueltyler2

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@Carissimi no I don't, and if you don't want me involved I will stay out of it.
