Losing Loved Ones.......

I got reminded again this morning how fragile life can be, not that I need to be reminded. My front and center learning experience was when my husband was killed 10 years ago in a car accident. In the last eight months, I now know 4 different widows.....all women I've known for years in various extensions of my life experiencing the loss of their spouse like I had and my heart breaks all over again for them. No one should have to go through that pain....of losing anyone. The tears and loneliness following the funeral when the crowds of the first week gradually disappear, no one can describe it or understand it unless they have been through every single heart wrenching moment.
I want to jump in and take their pain away if its at all possible which it isn't but I can't help it. I know they need to go through it. It's all part of the journey. We all learn from the bad as well as the good.
I learned how much I want to help people feel good, relax, better their health, pamper themselves ever since I lost him. It took me a little while, postponing my life while I grieved. As you know, procrastination is my worse challenge to overcome but I continue to push myself every day or every other day or once a week. But I still push.
I still grieve to this day because I will always miss him.
