~~Reflecting on Year One~~
Sometimes it’s the little, seemingly insignificant things that are so incredibly painful after loss. And without warning, they knock you deep into the darkness of grief. For me, one of those things that tormented me over and over was the word “we.” Or rather the fact that suddenly there was no “we” anymore. It took me a long time to get used to saying “I” instead. And each time, it was a painful reminder that I’m alone now.
It
was little things like this that pounded the reality into my head
that my husband was no longer here and that my life had drastically
changed.
