Am I feeling sad? No. I am not. I rejoice in the fact that he is now celebrating in heaven. Do I miss him? Absolutely YES! If he were alive I would have taken him out to dinner or fix him his favorite dish, rice and peas with coconut milk, mixed vegetables and curried goat or ox tail. Not to mention carrot juice with condensed milk.
I would have bought him a lovely gift. (A secret..I won't tell you what it would have been. lol) Our daughter would have called him and wished him happy birthday!

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. The 4th of this month would have made 38 years of happy marriage. We were married on the 4th of August, 1973.

Time heals. Yes it does. If you have just lost a loved one I know how you are now feeling. You feel as if you will never smile again. You feel a deep pain that will not just go away.


May I encourage you to pray and ask God to take you through this period of grief. You will go through it. The good news is that each year the pain will get less and less.

Widowed

The first time I became aware of the agonizing effect of someone losing their soul mate was the year 1970. I remember vividly the agony on the face of one of my college mates when the news that her husband died from a heart attack hit her. At the moment, I felt sorry for her. This sympathy did not last for long. You see, I was young and in love. Little did I know then,that 38years later I too would experience widowhood.

On December 14, 2002, one day before my 50th birthday, my husband of 29 years went home to be with his maker. This time my feelings were different. As I reflect on 38 years ago, my feelings has now changed to empathy.


My life since that day has changed. I am now single again.
