Dear Grieving Heart

Dear my beating heart,
I just want to say as we close the year out, I so value your strength, I so value the way that you have carried me through the hard times – through the grief, through my loss, through my sorrow. Many days I have not felt like smiling, I have not felt even like breathing…yet you have seen me through. You keep beating each day and each day that heartbeat you make, makes me stronger.
I know that I need to think about you in the future, I know you need me to open up and allow you to love again and I will….just give me some time, as I am just not ready yet but I know you deserve that love and one day when I least
expect it, love will come through the door.
At this holiday time, you have been my best friend and I thank you for never giving up and feeding life to this grieving body….
Yours always
A xx
Funny how I have been thinking along these lines also the last two days, in amazement that the last five plus months as I go from intense emotion to another my heart has kept on beating and at times been the only constant in my life. I also have been thinking that it is time I think about the health of this heart, a return to healthy living and living with hope. Thanks for letting me know once again my thoughts are not crazy and I truly am not alone in them.

Dear Anna,
What a wonderful entry today. Thank you for this. Thank you for doing this blog and allowing so many of us to find a place to express our feelings and gather strength from others in the same position.
I hope everyone in the Widow’s Quest community can find some peace and joy in the season. Remember that every day is a step towards your future and hopefully happiness.
There are so many things to be thankful for. Family, friends and the wonderful memories of our loved ones who have passed on, but ,I believe, are with us every day.
I hope that each and every one of you, my dear friends, will find some peace and happiness in this most holy of seasons.
Thank you for all your entries, everyone. Just when I am at my lowest there seems to be some entry, whether from Anna or one of the other contributors that makes me think and helps to elevate my mood.
Again, Happy Holidays to all of you in the Widow’s Quest community.
Love,
Leslie
Leslie – your comments never fail to make me smile, they fill me with such warmth and belief that this world is a great place. I wish you a wonderful holiday season.
Deb, why I write from the heart is that grief is so universal. I used to think that no one could imagine how I was feeling, that everyone copes so much better than me. Now through all your comments I know grief is universal, we may have different ways of coping but the emotions are real to all of us.
That is why i love it when you all comment as it shows the silent readers that they are not alone, there are many of us who understand and that we can be together in our loneliness knowing that when you read Widows Quest you are never truly alone.
Anna
