One month ago today the world I lived in was destroyed. On August 15,
2012 at 11:15 pm ET the love of my life for 20+ years was taken from me.
Even though the battle lasted nearly 6 years, there is no way to
describe the feeling when you love passes on. No other loss that I have
experienced - even the loss of my mother from cancer – can match the
emptiness I feel every day. There is no way one can describe the
physical and emotional pain at the loss of such a wonderful and loving
wife.
Today I love and am frightened by our home. The home we have is
beautiful and in a wonderful neighborhood. But it is the house we
created. Now half of that we is gone. I dread coming home after an
evening out with friends because there is nothing but silence to greet
me. I search and call out for my better half but know one responds. This
is the home we created and I do love it and can’t imagine ever moving.
But where is my better half.
I find myself trying to move forward because that is what Karen and I
promised for each other. But damn it to hell it is so painful. I know
that down the road I will need to consider the idea of dating. For now,
that is long long time away. I can’t imagine dating as I feel that would
violate my vows. But I know eventually I will have to because that is
what I must do and it is what Karen wants for me. For now, it seems like
infidelity.
One Month Ago….
