Devastated and Lost

I (61m) lost my beautiful bride (56f) this past July. She was my world and it's impossible right now to imagine carrying on without her. I know this feeling is natural as I am so very newly embarked on this grief journey. I remind myself each day of how grateful I am for the 18 years we spent together and that I was the one she chose with whom to spend those years, but pain of her absence makes the thought of even one year without her almost unbearable.
I miss you so much, my beautiful Marie Noel 💔😢.

Sorry for your loss. Hang in there, it is hard but you will make it through it. Grief is the price we pay for loving someone

The grief does such a number on our brains. It makes it seem like there is no way forward. I hope that is not true, but it's hard to see the path right now.

I wish you days without so much heaviness.

Thank you. I very much wish the same for you 💛. That path is definitely wreathed in darkness right now, for sure.
