I remember the movie, The Wizzard of OZ and how the tornado swirls the girl up and puts her down in another world. That is how I feel! I sold our large home, and I moved to a smaller house near my daughter. I now live in this universe which is strange and unfamiliar, and I wish every day to be back in my old life with my husband of 55 years. It will be a year in October since he died, and I still cannot get a handle on him being gone from me. Each month I seem to get more and more involved in living in the past, and dream of days gone by. My wish every day is that the Lord will take me home to be with my husband since my life here is not a happy one. Each day is a chore even though I have started to get involved with activities. As someone else on this site said, "I exist here, but I don't live here." So true!

I have lost loved ones in my life, but nothing prepared me for losing the man I thought I would have a family with and spend the rest of my life with. The pain is debilitating and trying to figure out how to live has continued to be a struggle for me as well. It has been 9 months since he has left me. I keep trying to just get through one more day. Some are good days and some are not. But I keep trying to remember that he lived life to the fullest and would be royally pissed (sorry, but no other word fits) if I didn't try and enjoy my life, especially after his came to such an abrupt end. So, i just keep trying...

Nothing we can do Robin but keep pushing air around.  I am in a major funk so best not to listen too much to me.  Hopefully others can give you more encouragement as to why and how to do it.  For me, the days are just useless.
