How to find normal again after the LOVE of your life dies??
I was with my soul-mate for over 10 years. We lived, laughed and loved together everyday. I thought we would grow old together (so did he), but unfortunately fate had a different idea. I lost him to Cancer almost 3 years ago and I feel as tho I died with him. It seem so hard some days to go on without him with me physically. I work and function with what I have to do, but I do it with a broken heart and a veil covering my life.
Just wondering if anyone else has been there and does the pain and guilt of trying to move on ever go away?? :(

In moving on, the first thing you have to do is forgive yourself for anything you did or think you did wrong at the time. Move on in smaller steps as you are able, putting some closure on each item or situation as you move past it. Mark each with a small ceremony, even if only in your mind. For example, Jorge was like a little boy at Christmastime. For four years I barely acknowledged the holiday of that. Last month, however, I put up the tree and decorated it in the style he had created for it, put our matching ornaments on the tree, and told everyone who came that it was dedicated to him. I moved past the Christmas thing (a BIG thing!) by having Christmas the way he liked Christmas. Doing little things to mark the milestones makes them real and puts them behind you. I hope this helps...other people can help get you through the rough times, but in the end, you are the one going through them, and you have to go through them how and when you see fit - no one's opinion matters but your own. Take care of yourself, buddy, and may God bless you richly!
Start to rebuild your life. Talk to family
I share these thoughts because loss is hard. And three years after ten is a short time...but knowing that the feeling are real...and not wrong is a first step to letting love back in to your life....Hugs my friend....Thomas
