My wife died unexpectedly in March, so I'm 5 months in, but I still can't seem to grasp that she's gone. I find myself thinking it can't be true, she was just here. I realize I'm not going to wake up tomorrow and realize it, that it is something that will occur slowly. Anyone else still having this problem?
Like standing in the waves as the Tide comes in. At first it just jolts you a little, then as the fog lifts the waves get bigger, maybe even knocking you off your feet a few times. But you learn to meet the wave braced, and steady, it only wobbles you. Finally the tide starts to move away again, The fight much easier. Then only a rogue wave gets you, but those are not the steady pounding you took before. They can still knock you off your feet, but it is easier to get up after they pass.
DS has been a good set of water wings for those days, keep sharing and some day only the rogues will get you, you will learn to body surf the waves, enjoying the best of they memories they carry.
At least that's what I'm hoping for soon.
