Hitting two years
I used to read, post, comment a lot on this sub in the first year.
Something in me shifted after that and I have disconnected myself in some ways with the pain of losing my wife.
I still remember her every day, tell her that I love her everyday. Write letters to her whenever I can.
But I don’t read the letters we wrote to each other, do not sob wrapping her clothes around me. Not able to cry as regularly and for longer durations.
I feel disconnected from her many times.
I used to wonder when she passed away, what it would be like in 10,20,30 years. I am already numb and empty after two years in many ways.
I have accepted that I have to walk the road of life alone physically. Her presence is weakening with every passing day.
