so quiet and dark
absence of another’s breath
by myself – always

By myself but I seem to be listening and waiting hoping that Death lets him come home.

Lonely and Dark are familiar bedfellows

I know this isn’t a new post but after reading it I wished so badly to reach out and give you such a big hug. Maybe a hug from a stranger doesn’t help and it would be so cliche to tell you that God is with you… but He is. He grieves with us when we grieve and wants to heal our hearts.
I’ve run the gamut for some types of grief: abandonment, divorce, infidelity of another (but I have been spared thus far from the grief caused by death). I know how hard it is to feel so alone and it makes my heart ache to read that you felt this way at one time. I hope.you do not feel that way now. Stranger though I may be I wish I could hug you!!
