I have been lost and alone
Frightened down deep into my bones
Yes, my solitude was my choice
But now I reach forward to rejoice
Silently and painfully, I shed a tear
For the soul departed, yet he seems so near
Time brings acceptance and absence of fear
That’s healing, revealing the choice …
A small rejoice … Emergence!

I hope so, Janice. Some days are good, some find me feeling again, but I’ve turned the corner in that I’m consciously trying. 💟

Oh, Deborah, I can’t imagine what it is like to lose your other half. I dread it. I feel that you are strong and that you will make it. Friends help keep your spirits up. Keep in touch and when you are feeling down I will say something silly to make you laugh. Laughter is one way to heal that terrible ache and coat it like ‘a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.’ Much & prayers going your way. ❤️

Janice, YOU are “the spoonful of sugar”. And I’ve always been the clown, who laughs on the outside while sometimes crying on the inside. Thank you for reminding me, dear friend.
