Reading this made me burst out in tears. In a few weeks, it will be the three year anniversary of my grandfather's death. I would give anything to hear is voice again.
This entry has left me sobbing uncontrollably. Today marks the sixth month that I have gone without hearing my mother's voice. She'll always be there in spirit, but it doesn't feel like enough.
As an atheist, the only thing that makes me want to believe in an afterlife is the desire to spend more than a few paltry decades with my husband. But I don't, so I try and make every single day together worth it. My greatest fear is having to live without him.
this reminds me of my friend who died. it's been 2 1/2 months, and the pain of his loss is as strong as it was the day i heard the news.
Itsnotmytree you need to read Ann Druyan's epilogue to Billions & Billions about her marriage to Carl Sagan and how they loved and cherished each other in the face of death. It's so beautiful.
