Words can't say how sorry I am for your loss, Kelly. I don't know how long you were together but love IS timeless, so it doesn't matter. I've been where you are now. If you ever need a friendly "ear" you can PM me any time. I believe YourBob has my phone number, too. Once you've landed, then comes the letting go of the parachutes lines. That can take a long time, and it holds many surprises, not all of them painful. *Hugs* sweetie.
Hugs. My connection to my friend was not of the same sort, but we've been worrying over the same questions with her partner. And yeah, the way things happened....better, given the situation.
But it still doesn't get rid of that pain of the missing. Those moments when you want to share, and the person...isn't there.
It's so weird. I'm not in physical pain, but I'm certainly physically affected. Make plans ahead of time if you can. Helps with the doubt/guilt/uncertainty.
I knew Jim about as well as I know you, which is to say, not well at all, though what I know of each of you I like and respect. Many of my close friends were close to him, but I never happened to be in the same place as Jim for very long. From what I have heard over the years, he was an extraordinary person, and you were lucky to have had him in your life. From what I know of you, he was lucky to have had you in his life as well.
May the sweetness of memory last longer than the bitterness of grief. I know the grief will never go away, but it will be less present, eventually.
I was lucky to have him. There are good memories. There are GREAT memories. I've been trying to remember them, but the dredging process right now is clogged up. Soon, I hope. Some time after I hit ground.
