21 long lonely unhappy weeks.

1 minute read time.

21 weeks since I last saw, touched and talked to my lovely Ken.  It is still so hard to accept that I will never do these things again,look into his eyes, hold his hand and talk to him. 

I am sadder now than ever, I believe it is because as weeks go by I feel more and more lost without him, I know I won't but then I am terrified that I will one day forget his face, forget the sound of his voice, I have pictures and his voice on a tape but I want to be able to recall all the things he said and how he spoke, at the moment these things come so easily to me, thank god  because at the beginning after I lost him, I couldn't seem to recall these things,now I sit and think and I can hear his voice in my head, see his expressions, everything about him.  Please god never let me forget. 

I don't thing I ever will because his photographs are everywhere in our house his andmine and they always will be no matter what the future brings.  One of OUR songs was one called "Come What May", a eurovision song contest winner in 1972 by Vicki Leandross, It says, come what may I will love you forever and forever my heart belongs to  you, come what may for as long as I'm loving I'll be living only", "come what may in a world full of changes nothing changes my love for you". 

Another of our songs is "without you" by Nilson from 1972.  It says "can't live if living is without you" well unfortunately I HAVE to live. Living without Ken however is not the living I want to do, I don't enjoy things I just endure them. I think things will always be like that from now on.  Even if in the future I do nice things that are enjoyable.  There will never be the enjoyment I felt with kEN. 39 years of love and memories can never be lost. 

OH KEN WHY HAVE I LOST YOU.???????????

    Hello Jan please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. RIP Ken.

    I lost me husband 5 years ago and I can honestly tell you I have never forgot his face nor his voice. I never will.

    You are right when you say that things you did together will not be as enjoyable. It didn't for me for a very long time.

    Eventually as the pain dulls you will start to enjoy life again.

    I enjoy life now but not nearly as much as I would with my husband even though I have a new manfriend and we do similar things it is still not the same. The idea is to not compare.

    I am waffling now What I want to say is that someday you will feel better. Give yourself time to grieve, there is no set length of time we are all individual. It has nothing to do with how long you were together or how much you loved your husband, it takes as long as it takes so don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

    All the best Jan! Love Julie xx
