I remember being dragged to the mall by a friend a week after his death and seeing all the people bustling with their Christmas shopping as I walked in literally knocked the breath out of me. I wanted to SCREAM at them for being happy and acting normal when my entire life had just come to an end. <br /><br />Last night I pulled his picture out to stare at...memorizing every feature of his face over again. I pretended his mouth was moving and he was talking to me. I said, "I wish I could know you more" I hate not knowing him thought the changes that have come in my life...not knowing what he would think or say...and then in my heart I heard "know the Lord". That was what he wanted the most for his family...and by knowing the Lord, I know him...for he is there waiting for our blessed reunion. Stay strong Vee...keep fighting sweet lady.<br />~MelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1166658235135692088.post-55464355229574927892011-03-02T13:28:31.808-05:002011-03-02T13:28:31.808-05:00Yesterday was 28 years for me. TWENTY EIGHT YEARS...Yesterday was 28 years for me. TWENTY EIGHT YEARS!! Right now you have very bad days, bad days, better days, and a few happy times measured in minutes or hours. That changes. The happy times start to outweigh the horrifying times. There are still days when I just can't get it out of my head. Twenty eight years later I still have to pull over because the tears are flowing too heavily. But those times are rare. Its hard to process, and you stumble through raising your kids. One day you will look back and not remember how you got to where you are, but you will be able to look back and smile. Your life will not be an open wound, the scar will always be there, but it will not be the raw pain you feel now. Processing takes time. I used to feel like I was losing things - feelings, smells. But I didn't. I can still remember how it felt to be hugged by him. I can still remember his smell. I was loved and cherished and that was worth the pain. Being with him was worth it all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1166658235135692088.post-29815280849125500382011-03-02T02:41:40.131-05:002011-03-02T02:41:40.131-05:00You're right.

I read your blog like a reader and a Christain sister, but I also read it like a writer. I admire your craft. Your metaphor of the fight is so well written. You SO need to send a query letter to Thomas Nelson or some other Christian publisher.

It's such a GOOD and HEALTHY thing for you to do here...share your hurting heart. You can...you ARE...doing 'this'...even though it's a day to day struggle. Your children give you so much to live for, and God definitely has a plan...even though it's far different from the one you would prefer. My heart just aches deeply for you and I pray for you often. Keep sharing - and keep looking to the One Who can comfort you in ways none of the rest of us can.

Tonight when I read your description of being afraid to get in the ring with grief, I sighed as I know this feeling. Four years after the death of my 39 year old husband in a cycling accident I wrote thishttp://widowsvoice-sslf.blogspot.com/2011/02/my-friend-grief.html and though it took me a long time to come to this perspective, I wanted to share the image of you getting in the ring, and surviving. Because you can, and you will. Even though part of you won't want to...against all logic, and despite the many, many gifts you have in your life. I just wanted you to know that there is another widow out in the cosmos lifting you up. And believing that some day you will face grief with no fear.<br /><br /><3 MicheleMichele Neff Hernandezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356589209090780127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1166658235135692088.post-43307864168847803922011-02-28T00:32:54.851-05:002011-02-28T00:32:54.851-05:00Oh Vee, I am so speechless...Our family felt the s...Oh Vee, I am so speechless...Our family felt the same pain when my father in law was murdered.

"Facing the beast head on" is also very terrifying to me right now. I wish we could be together to have a chance to talk, and share our hearts. I love you dearly, and it hurts me that I can't be there for you how I would like to be. I don't know why our family is having to bear so much lately, but at least we have a hope and a faith of better things. We also have each other, and I am so grateful for that!! I'm so proud to call you my sister. I LOVE YOU!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
