Letting go of people we love is not easy. I recently lost my partner of 25 years.
Because he was older than me, I expected that one day I would be facing myself on a deeper level than ever before. No holding on. No hiding behind. Just a void that can't be filled with anything except God and my authentic self. It has been 2 months since his heart gave out but as for me, my heart continues to beat. Adjusting to a new quietness. Feeling hopeful about the future and grateful for all the beautiful memories I will carry forward.
