I Am Lonely

I miss my wife. Cancer took her from me a couple years ago. The loneliness is crippling at times. I miss having someone to talk to, someone to kiss after I get home from work. There's a lot I miss. What hurts the most is knowing how much life I have ahead of me, and she won't be here for any of it.

@sighmeupforthat I'm sorry for your loss. It hasn't gotten better for me, even after two years. I doubt it ever will.

@ChickenNugget understood, don't let anyone give you those lectures about moving on, it's not about you or stupid advice.

take your time, need help, confide if you can but don't force a thing it just makes things harder.

oh and it's ok to talk to her, no matter who claims what.

the pain won't go away, that's normal.

if she's got a legacy, help keep that alive, work helps. it's no cure it's just if you can contribute to engage what she was about sure makes ya feel good even for microbes of moments.

@sighmeupforthat I still talk to her. I like to think she's listening.
