I keep thinking that if I could just keep busy enough, make more miles, get one more thing finished, go a little faster, that I could start getting over losing my wife, my lover, my Fantasy Dream Goddess, Kim Ford.
Then the sun goes down…

Everyone says it will get better with time, so why does it keep getting harder?

Sorry, not trying to sound like a bitch.
Just venting.

My wife has been gone 2 years 3 months 7 days and 1 hour! We were together 48 years and I remarried a year ago to another wonderful woman who I love deeply there’s not a day goes by that I don’t think of Helen and I go through pictures on my phone and a couple of videos of us dancing our last valentine dance! My love and memories of her will always be in my heart! I had to keep busy after losing Helen and I made her 3 promises a month before losing her, that I wouldn’t do anything to myself, that I would get married again because she didn’t want me to be alone and that I would take care of her two little dogs and I have done all three. I’m sorry for your loss my friend and praying for Gods blessings and comfort for you at this time and the days ahead!
 
You don’t sound like a bitch, you sound like someone who’s grieving deeply and honestly. Losing someone you loved that much, someone who was not just a partner but your dream, your constant… it doesn’t just fade because time passes. That idea that “it gets better with time” is more complicated than people make it sound. Time doesn’t erase, it just slowly teaches us how to carry the weight a little differently.

Keeping busy is natural to try and outrun the ache. But grief isn’t something we can outpace. It catches up when the sun goes down, when things go quiet. That’s not failure on your part, it’s just how love and loss work. Venting like this isn’t weakness. It’s release. It’s healthy.

Don't be sorry, my brother!
I can't even imagine how hard that might be.
I am with you brother, thinking how many bitter tears your loss has bring to you and so many other people that were closer to Kim. Almost two months is still so recent, and it's okay to still feel the weight of her absence so deeply. Sending you strength and peace as you navigate these difficult days. Lean on those who care about you, and please know you're not alone in your grief. 😢😢😢:Cry::Cry::Cry:

If there ANYTHING your brother OT can do to assist you, please, reach out. You have my phone number!!
 
Those memories were sent from Heaven for a daily walk with her. Those that you love the most, just don't go away, they are embedded in your heart and mind. You won't ever replace them either, but don't feel ashamed, true love is a never ending love and I'm sure it weighs heavy at times. Trust in God's leadership.
