I had known him since I was in third grade and he was in fourth grade and moved to our school. He died in my bed with me next to him and trying to save his life until the medics showed up. He did the same as your husband did and then leaned over, looked at me and then lay his head on my shoulder and stopped breathing. I know that we were not married, but I feel like a widow. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to do this. I look forward to knowing that other people that have been through the same get through it and see how you did it.

I so resonate with what you are saying, about how the memorial was the day you had a lot of loved ones around you and that living the rest of your life without your dad is the hard part. I feel the same way. Thank you for sharing your story and for witnessing mine.Tristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892217985686389277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-322689666763159407.post-57592882699249810782016-03-02T15:32:22.123-08:002016-03-02T15:32:22.123-08:00I'm sincerely touched by your post.

I am so sorry for your loss.<br /><br />A my dad's funeral, a friend who was widowed many year earlier said that the funeral was the hardest part. I said no, that was the day I had lot of loved ones around me and I could tell them about how much I loved my dad. The hard part would be living the rest of my life without him.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909901802421219976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-322689666763159407.post-69026704620655420652016-02-17T14:05:11.164-08:002016-02-17T14:05:11.164-08:00Thank you so much for your words and your witnessi...Thank you so much for your words and your witnessing and your art, Sarah! I was so moved by your work and I am so happy that my own little project touched you as well. I find such deep healing when I connect with and witness other widows. We are a diverse and powerful tribe.Tristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892217985686389277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-322689666763159407.post-87001214857391421682016-02-16T19:56:40.178-08:002016-02-16T19:56:40.178-08:00I'm so very sorry to hear of your husband'...I'm so very sorry to hear of your husband's death. There are no words, we all know that. He no doubt was a big energy, you can tell from the picture. You shared my "Still, Life" project which is how I found this project of yours. It is a long BITCH of a journey, especially with sudden loss, but creating saved me, transformed me, and kept me inching along these past few years until I began to be strong enough to live more, a little at a time. <br /><br />Keep on creating, and keep on sharing it. Others need to see the power of creating, from as many as will share. I'll share your project on my business page too, hopefully to rally more people to create out of their pain and follow along with you, and head your story. Day by day, you'll make i through. No doubt your man is proud of you. <br /><br />P.S. Have you heard of Soaring Spirits Intl or Camp Widow, their conference? Both have changed my "after" life in huge ways... I always share with fellow widows in case they're looking for more support. http://www.soaringspirits.org/<br />http://www.campwidow.org/Arthelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11898065902404091173noreply@blogger.com
