.....I lost my husband of 37 years. Last night I dreamed of that night. Bad night.

I've moved on......but do you ever really move on?

 

[Gaer]

I know, jujube. 5 years for me and he died suddenly,in my arms.
Yes, We can move on. I've finally stopped crying.
We have to grab the reins and get on down the road.
Guess this is something our souls have to go through.
Sorry you had to relive that in your dreams Blessings to you.

Speaking for myself I have never been able to move on.

Death affects me in a bad way, always has, and at this point and stage in my life I'm certain it always will.

@Aunt Marg, I agree. I still have my hubby but other deaths of loved ones are still very vivid in my mind and I miss them today just as much as I did back then. I have moved on because that's what it takes to function and live in this world.
I have good times now but not a day goes by that I don't remember and then the emptiness sets in.
My mom always said it doesn't get any easier. She was so right,

You are so right, it doesn't get easier, Ruth.

I've tried everything under the sun to move forward, and in many ways I have, but no matter what I do or how hard I try, I can't separate myself from the demons that haunt me.

Some days are better than others, but I am constantly haunted by loss.

So sorry jujube. I guess we move on but still have those memories that come to us at certain times and moments. And then there is the sadness too.

My husband of 50 years passed away 10 months ago. Today I went to have the title for his car transferred to my name so I could get a new registration for it. I was glad I had a mask on so I could hide the fact that I was fighting to keep from crying as I did this. I'm really doing pretty good, but having to take his name off of things like this breaks my heart. I know I will get stronger as time goes by, but for right now, I'm just doing what needs to be done the best I can.
The only thing that can help is time, I suppose.

Ceege,
i can understand your feeling. When I sold our condo it was the last link I had with my late wife.
