I want to simply say, I love him but I feel it’s getting to the point where that isn’t enough anymore. Part of me doesn’t want to be alone, I’m afraid I can’t make it on my own and don’t want to be a burden on my children. My thoughts and feelings are all over the place. I’m also afraid of what will happen to him.

@mic129 Everything you are feeling is completely valid and understandable. Love is not enough although it is a positive thing for both of you. I also understand not feeling like you can make it on your own. When I moved back into this house, after I found him dead here, and 28 years of him being my best friend and soulmate, I still (2 years later) have moments where my mind asks, "How can I do this alone?" I can one day at a time, one hour at a time. I have to pull my thoughts out of the future and just do what is in front of me...or "Be where my feet are..." Please continue to share here. You are probably helping others without even realizing it! Take care of yourself.
