Sounds like you had a beautiful relationship. Peace to you.

a person has, or had, that evoke such tender rememberances. My sweetheart of forty years was definitely not a "foodie", certainly never had a weight problem - unless it wasn't eating enough. So, I would offer him food without being overbearing about it, saying something like, "Would you like one of these little cheeses?" Invariably, he'd reply with, "Oh, maybe." That meant "Yes."

"Oh, maybe." Gulp.

whenever he heard me gathering together pans and ingredients at breakfast time, his favorite meal. I swear I hear it in my head as I putz around the kitchen in the morning. He wouldn't be the least bit interested in my yogurt and strawberries, however. I haven't cooked a "real" breakfast since he passed.

condolences to you. That is a lifetime of memories; may they comfort you.

So sorry for your loss.

It's heartwarming to hear that music was comforting to you, that you found a piece that even although it made you tear up it did comfort you. How wonderful.

I'm truly sad for your loss and I hope that you have been surrounded by those who love and look after you.

Take care of yourself, these words touched me ... thank you.

"I thought about how true the sentiment was... many years after the first bloom of love and lust, we longtimers settle into a comfortable and close relationship with our spouses. Just the loss of seeing their most beloved faces and voices brings the deepest pain "

May your pain evolve to feeling like gentle hugs and caresses.

and hurricane is the best way I can describe these past few weeks. When the bands come, it is impossible to escape the emotional chaos. Then in between the bands, I can rest, even laugh with friends. But it is getting a bit easier, probably since I know the patterns now.

yourself well.

I feel him nudging me toward the bacon drawer and fry pan.

Happy memory of there bfast then

from tearing up myself...So sorry for your loss! I lost mine almost 3 yrs ago and it's still very difficult for me to hear music we loved, can't watch movies we loved yet. Time is the only thing that can heal our pain. Take good care...I'll keep you in my prayers.

Some pretty awesome and thoughtful people hang around this joint. Guess I'll stay a while longer.

loving people are the reasons I lobbied to have a place here on DU for all of us suffering a loss.


I'm always willing to chat privately with anyone who wants to.

My best wishes to you.

kesha.
