As I sit here crying this morning, exhausted preparing to go on what was supposed to be an enjoyable cruise, I realize I have to focus on what we still have and not all that I am missing of our previous life. We have had a wonderul life with each other and I am thankful I have those memories to support me because my beloved has lost that and I grieve for both of us. I pray we can all gather peace as we go to the grocery store (one of my favorite outings these days) or just life.

@boppi I have those days, like you we have had a great life so the memories are still there. I cry quietly it’s hard. My husband seems okay as long as I don’t make waves. Things are changing things are missing, words don’t belong to the items, he looks for his wallet and finds his phone. But every day when we wake up he says I am so pretty and he loves me. This is the reminder I need to get me through my day. Your right our trips consist of the grocery stores etc. I just bought new bedroom furniture and a bed it was hard art first getting him used to it but now he loves it. We just keep plodding along and realize this is now our life it’s really hard since we only get one life.
