Today marks my late husband’s second birthday since he left this world. I didn’t cry today, but last night I couldn’t sleep, and this morning I didn’t want to get up. The ache felt too close, too alive. His passing forced me to learn lessons that only came through the heartbreaking loss of him.
And even now, the regret presses heavily on my chest. I regret what I didn’t understand. I regret what I couldn’t see. I regret what I can never go back and change.
Grief doesn’t follow a straight line. Some days I feel steady; other days, like today, the weight of memory pushes me to the brink of breaking.
My beloved husband, you live forever in my heart.
The longing for you never fades.
