The saying
“Two steps forward
one step back”
keeps rolling
through my mind
while traveling
this winding road
of learning to live
a new life
without my Love.
Truth be told,
10 steps forward
and one step back
is more descriptive
at the present time.
And since letting go
of the edge of the cliff,
driving over a bridge,
or otherwise doing
away with myself
is not an option-
I will remember
how far I’ve come
since life
before my love,
the lessons he
taught me,
the love we shared,
and memories
made together.
I will recall
my bucket list,
my personal goals,
and lean on my
support system.
I will keep moving
forward
and not allow
the tidal wave
to destroy
me.

Grateful, Thankful, and Mending! 
Lisa, you are so right! None of those things listed are an option, only going forward, as you stated. It’s hard a lot of days. And it will be for days to come. The memories keep one going. I know it’s got to be hard missing your love! It would make him happy to know that you are remembering the things he taught you and the things you shared together. Hang in there! You are in my prayers! ❤️

I feel the presence of G-d on a daily basis. Without Him I would not have made it this far!
