since the love of my life made his transition. The past month has been all but unbearable. It was only yesterday that I was able to have the first positive thought about his leaving me behind. For all of my adult life, he smoothed my way with advice, with caring, with a shoulder to cry on, with a strong arm to lift me up or hold me close. He was always there for me, no matter what. Now he has gone before me, and when I come to join him, he will once again be able to guide me and protect me, the champion of my heart.
Where I am now:
Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon;
and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
~Rossiter Worthington Raymond
It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses. ~Colette
Sorrow you can hold, however desolating, if nobody speaks to you. If they speak, you break down. ~Bede Jarrett
Where I aspire to be:
She was no longer wrestling with the grief, but could sit down with it as a lasting companion and make it a sharer in her thoughts. ~George Eliot
