Tildyc & Trina - (PART 1) You get it. We all get it. It is all the process of the stark realization of what it means to lose the connection in the physical realm of the one person who made you whole. Some people don't ever get to be whole, they never find love but then they don't miss what they never had. Then there are some people who think they found a connection but they are not as enlightened about who they are and so their vibration becomes a very weak connection to love and eventually dissipates. Then there are those of us who understand what we need and we find an energy that matches ours. We dance to our own frequency. And then one horrible day we don't because other energies are interfering. That’s when we hit the brick wall full speed. In physics it’s like the interference pattern.
At one point I thought the desire to die, the recognition of seeing the consequences of others deaths and dying was morbid. Although I still find it terribly upsetting to deal with my current situation I have tried to gain an awareness of the whole why/what/how of this life-death cycle.
The study of physics has given me a place to go to help me wrap my head around the silence. I will never be the same person. How could I be. I have witnessed and now been transported to a different dimension where I now have to live while I wait for my own frequency to change one more time. This is all more than morbid, it is surreal, you hit the nail on the head. Other worldly. There is nothing that i have ever experienced that would give me the same feeling of having been taken to live in another world but this is it. I can focus a little bit better now (two years plus down the line) on the 3D world through my eyes which for quite awhile were very distorted but I will never mentally interpret what I see other than through eyes that have been forever altered. Which is why I need to try and elevate my mind to integrate the possibility that my husband is here with me but because of his newer vibration of his energy he is not visible. It is a function of the frequency. His energy was never destroyed. It has changed form. His vibrating frequncy changed. I think he has returned to the quantam state and he is not in the space-time continuim we recognize as our reality. But I have to believe that our energy exists and has and will exist into infinity. It is all just an arrangement of the waves of the universe and how it manifests itself. Kind of like the ocean. But the waves never remain the same. When I don’t believe it and I go into the hole now more than ever I get sucked into thinking the universe has nothing more to reveal to us. Yet if we really think big and not think in the hole we know that empty space is not empty. It’s full of all the wave lengths that are being transmitted throughout all this empty space. We just cannot prove it, see it or have a brain big enough to imagine it. Yet.
It is so very sad how the death of our life partner has transformed us into people that we hardly recognize. Before my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer, we both thought that we would grow old together, and that's why we tried very hard to improve our diet and put some exercise in our weekly routine. Now that Joseph is gone, I do and eat things that are bad for you, foods that could cause a heart attack.
My fervent wish for dying is so morbid, and I feel like I am betraying my four siblings who would be totally devastated by my early demise. When praying for my death I feel guilty, but I tell myself that none of my siblings will feel this deep anguish and heartbreaking pain that I have been experiencing on a daily-basis for the past 8 months. My death for them will be like when I lost my parents. It will be hard for a while, but not earth-shattering or life-changing, and they will move on after a little while. It's so true that our world and our inner selves have changed drastically after the death of our spouses; we have become people who we would have never recognized in our "past" life. This is how bad this existence is. The pain sometimes gets too much to bear.
George, I wish I could say something that would make you feel differently but it would be just spitting in the wind. There is nothing about grief that is helped much by anything more than just sharing the pain of how we feel. For me it is all about "feelings". I don't know what else to talk about because nothing else matters. I get how hard it is to do much else. I can visualize you sitting in your chair. I will mention one thing though.
I ended up donating the medial equipment that my husband had used and it felt better to know that someone else who needed it was able to use it. It may be too hard to let go of things that Mary touched but I had tons of other things that reminded me of my husband so the medical stuff I tried to get back out there because there are so many people who cant afford stuff and yet it could make their caretaking so much better. Anyhow, just a thought.
Eventually your body will sleep. For the time being you can rest in your chair and close your eyes. Slowly your brain will tell you what next.
Tildyc- It took me over a year before I was able to try and start to eat or cook anything. I ate pretty much half an english muffin or half bagel with peanut butter for pretty close to a year. Not only did I pine for my husband to be in the kitchen and see him cooking for us but I really am not much of a cook. I am trying to eat more than muffins and bagels but lots of days that is my fallback food. And eggs. Lots and lots of eggs. By the time I realize I am hungry I am starving and that is quick and easy and I cant burn it. I wait till I am really hungry most often because I have been trying to lose more and more weight thinking I am bringing on a stressed immune system. It's my way of hastening a natural death. I have one thing I am aware of in my body's system that just sort of appeared in the last couple weeks that seems peculiar but I have no idea if it is serious. My intention is to wait and see if it gets worse or shows other symptoms. If it is what I hope it is it will be my ticket out. We'll see. I wont be going to a doctor until it gets so bad there will be no reversing it.
Y'all come and visit me anytime. Just come to Monroe, Georgia. I will be happy to make all of y'all sausage gravy. My husband's recipe. He would love for me to share it with friends.
