Living Daily Life Alone
I am still influenced by my husband
It’s been 1 1/2 years since my husband passed.
Seems like it was only yesterday.
I am still heavily influenced by his opinion and what I think he would say about my decisions.
Thru the years we never made any major decisions with out consulting each other.
It’s said that time flies when you’re having fun. Well, that must be true. Otherwise, I can’t explain where 40 plus years have gone.
It seems like we were just getting started.
Now that I’m alone, I have to make every decision and hope that I’m doing the right thing.
Would he approve? I miss his input on everything. I don’t have anyone trustworthy for advice. I know I need to make my own decisions, but sometimes supportive advice would be appreciated.
When I was selling our house and personal belongings, I thought about what he would say and how he would feel.
Daily I wonder if he would like the house that I chose. I think he would, as we liked everything together. It makes me feel a little better thinking that he would be pleased.
I am content here and I will be as long as I continue to feel safe.
