There is a book by Seth Godin called Small is the New Big which refers to business but I have just read it and realised that there is a similarity for widows…then Tiffany left this comment on Grief has changed my views on Relationships which brought this home even more.
Almost the big part of our losing a spouse I can cope with – not easily but I find ways to cope. It is the small things….
- Missing being able to ask for a hug
- Missing watching our favourite TV shows together
- Missing waking up next to someone
- Missing them coming in at the end of the day
I suppose the difference in dealing with the finances etc to holding their hand is the personal connection….the sense of touch is such a powerful thing. What small thing do you miss……what small thing leaves you feeling empty?
