Trying to restart life and move past grief and sorrow

In life there are many lessons to be learned and many memories to create.

I have been living in my memories for almost two years.

I mourn his loss daily. But I know I need to find a way out of living in memories and begin life in the present. He was not just my life partner but my best friend with the greatest personality. He made me laugh!

Hoping to be joyful again at some point. I sometimes feel guilty wanting to be “happy” without my husband. I would like to smile again and maybe laugh a little.

I wouldn’t want him to think that I am out having a great time now that he has passed away.

How can I have fun without him?

We are all only given moments in time and life and it’s up to us to string them altogether.

I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then and I have no idea who that person was.

Not everyday is a good day, but everyday is an important one.

Just when you think you have your life figured out and everything in it’s proper place, as you get older you re-evaluate things you thought always held true. Then guess what? Now there is an all new direction.
