How long did it take you to get over the loss of that one person you thought was the love of your life?

Was it really the love of your life?

6 months and still counting.. and well I think so. But we didn’t break up she died so I guess that makes a difference.

@NoYou I’m so sorry. I was widowed, too. 😞

@bijouxbroussard does it ever get easier? I’m sorry about your loss too

@NoYou So sorry to hear that.

@NoYou You make a certain peace with it, and it fades to a dull ache. It is different than a breakup because to quote a line from a movie, “the dead make few mistakes”. I lost my husband decades ago and don’t know if we would even still be together, had he lived. I remember the good things, and there were many. Most people are able to move forward, and chances you will too, with time.

@bijouxbroussard I was planning to marry her this August.. was waiting for my Graduation. It’s going to be a bitter summer but thank you that did make me feel a little better. :)
