After losing my wife, my whole world collapsed. I understand that I need to move on, but I simply can't. We had known each other since first grade. We were apart for a while, but met again when I was 19. Now I'm 32, and I can't imagine my life without her, as her light and kindness gave meaning to every day of my life. Now she's gone.
The first two weeks were marked by terrible insomnia. When the insomnia finally ended, I would wake up every morning and reach out to the space beside me in bed to hold her, only to be met by the harsh reality that she was no longer there.
Words cannot fully express this pain, and I don’t know how to go on. Each day feels like an insurmountable struggle, and I am lost without her.
