I wrote this 5 days after my husband died. I share this so
people can see what happens to a family. Not because someone died by
accident or a long sickness. But by a disease that while not yet
curable, can be managed by proper diet and exercise. He didn't.
TRAGIC
I
knew eventually this time would come... but I thought it still would be
in the far future... It still took us by surprise. But I refuse to bear
the guilt of it... Could I have foreseen it? Maybe if I could see into
the future. Could I have prevented it... no, I have to sleep too. He
could've taken his mask off at anytime. and we just got it Friday as it
was. I'm glad we spent Mothers Day with my family. And that last
Saturday with his... I know they will never talk to me again. And I'm OK
with that, it's nothing new. The kids can't be turned against me, we
already discussed it.
I knew there was a reason why I didn't get
the jobs I interviewed for... I needed to be home as much as possible
because my time with Bryan was short... I see that now... Doesn't make
it any better... When the time is right... I will be out there again. I
just trust God more then I had ever done before. --That is nothing new.
What is new, (and harder than I can imagine) is sleeping in our
bedroom...knowing he isn't there not because he is in the hospital--but
because he will NEVER be there again. Silence is not my friend... It is a
place I cannot look because it makes my mind spin... I refuse the
"what-if" those are the paralyzer. Venom I cannot take.
We 3 will
be fine--eventually... It will take a long time to get past this minute
of grief... But the next minute will be there and we will get past THAT
minute and so on...
We have people that love us and pray for us
and will take care and support us. We won't fall through the cracks.
I just can't bear the Silence... I had been playing a radio in our room
for months and that is still going.... I need my mind moving at all
times... even if it’s not important... It just can't sit still and dwell
on things yet... It's too new and the grief is almost unbearable...
But I and my kids are loved by many... I can call anyone I need to...
So we start a new chapter in our lives.... Sooner than we expected or wanted...
