moving on again!

I'm not the first woman to lose a husband, I'm not the only widow in the world and I'm not the youngest either.


8 more days before 2010. And I hope that I can finally say 'happy new year' with conviction that everything will be okay. I will survive as others have...

8 more days to get my ass moving again.

8 more days until I face the real world as a better and stronger woman.

And I'm bringing the memory of our love and your life with me wherever I go, for losing you is not what defines me, but our love and life together.

moving on 1

Ive been writing about my grief for 6 months now in hopes that with each word that comes out of my heart, the pain will slowly subside. Ive also tried crying each night, wishing each teardrop would wash away the emptiness and fill my heart with dreams of a happy new life.183 days since I last heard his voice and grazed his lips with mine…. 169 days since my heart stopped beating along with his…

Oh sure other people miss him, but they go on with their lives. Even people whose lives he had touched, people whose lives he was a big part of. I envy them. And I know they sometimes get bored hearing the laments of a young widow. So they tell me life has to go on, it will soon be beautiful for me. I know it will be, but how do I explain that I will never be whole again after he died? He was my husband for heaven’s sake, the God-ordained OTHER HALF of me. Yes, in time I will move on, perhaps fall in love again. But there will always be a part of me who will remain his wife and his widow, a part that will forever hurt and mourn his passing and miss him in each happy and sad moment of my life.

That unless you've love somebody with literally ALL your life,and want nothing else but to be his partner and the mother of his kids, build your dreams around the two of you, live your life in total submission to him, and be that rib that was taken away from him to form you, unless your hearts beat together in synchrony and your souls have been merged as one, and unless death takes away that person, will it be easy for you to understand why no matter how I try to be strong, the thought of living the next 30 years of my life without him makes me feel like my crumbling world has just been put into an incinerator...

it hurts when you get rejected by the ones you like. it's agonizingly painful when your lover leaves you. devastating to see your marriage end in divorce. it's excruciatingly painful to lose a parent or a family member. so how does it feel when a spouse you loved and was exceedingly happy with dies?

I thought I was okay, and yes I am okay. I will be okay. So why does it still hurt so much like as if I just buried him yesterday?

First Love

.... i would like to share the lyrics of the song "First Love" by silverwind. This was released during the 80's. I really hope to find a copy of this song...


and mostly I would like to be taken back to the time when my relationship with Jesus began...

My heart was free-
But wanting to be seen
Just wanting only
Your anointing
They say you rise
When you get older
All I know is I've grown colder

Take me back to first love
to the place where i once was
where my passion was just obeying
And prayer was sweet
The sweetest thing I knew
And everything was possible with You
Take me to the place of my first love with You
The place of my first love with You

HE

He can turn the tides
And calm the angry sea.
He alone decides
Who writes a symphony.
He lights ev'ry star
That makes our darkness bright.
He keeps watch all through
Each long and lonely night.
He still finds the time
To hear a child's first prayer.
Saint or sinner call
And always find Him there.


Though it makes him sad
To see the way we live,
He'll always say, "I forgive."


He can grant a wish
Or make a dream come true.
He can paint the clouds
And turn the gray to blue.
He alone knows where
To find the rainbow's end.
He alone can see
What lies beyond the bend.
He can touch a tree
And turn the leaves to gold.
He knows every lie
That you and I have told.

check out this link...


I tried uploading it on Youtube but was rejected because video was too long.


I can't believe it's been only 5 months since F went home to heaven. Everyday without him feels like eternity to me...

This one's a compilation of our pictures plus a few words on love and marriage that we applied to ours. This is a work of love....my work of love for him.

May you find reason to believe that happiness and perfect relationships do exist and that true love happens...

5 months

dear bey,


today , I know that heaven is celebrating your 5th month there. And I know at the same time that heaven feels my pain now for it hasn't stopped raining since this morning. Maybe this is its' way of telling me that it may look like the rain won't stop pouring , but when the sun comes streaming in my window tomorrow or maybe the day after, I will appreciate that sunshine more because of the rain.

I am only human, and I"m sorry if I defiled your memory with my weakness....
This last month, I was in a hurry to move on with my life and forget the pain of losing you that I fell into a trap. I "fell" in love with someone else...or I fell in love with the idea of loving someone else.
It didn't work out, but oh, for a moment, I also welcomed the pain of being rejected by that person if it meant forgetting the pain of losing you even for just a while.

Being with that person made me realize what you and I had was rare, and the funny thing is it made me love you even more. I realized that there could never be another you in my life, that nobody will love me the way you loved me. And that I will never love someone else again the way I love you still.

With you I was number one in your life... top priority. You never hurt me and you guarded my heart fiercely from all the pains of life. You literally were my shelter and my tower of strength.

And I miss you. Sometimes I hate you for leaving me... I feel vulnerable to the lurking dangers of this lustful world, to people who see me as a prey. I hate that you are no longer there to protect me each moment of my life.

But i have to accept that you're no longer there to shield me from this dangerous world. And had you not believed in me, I known you would have pleaded with God to extend your life. So I will continue to be strong.... for you, for Kz, for myself and mostly for the memory of our love.

30 days to go and soon it will be Christmas... my first Christmas in 8 years without you. I have 30 days to find my passion again in order for me to survive the holidays.

But I know, inspite of my failures and my sins, God is ever faithful... He's just waiting for me to call, and I trust that He will continue to give me the same comfort He gave the day you went home to His arms...

hurting

God...why does it have to hurt this way?


I miss you bey... i miss having someone to take care of me... I miss almost perfect you...
Something happened in my life tonight that made me wish you were alive again. But then, one of the reasons why you had to go was for me to prove to myself I am strong and can survive without you. You taught me how to fight before you left....and I will fight, bey.

Something came up in my life for the last 30 days that made me realize how vulnerable I am , how blind and desperate.... and how lucky I was to have had you... that you were really the best there was for me...

I will write again bey, for you, for Kz and for the destiny you have always believed in...

I just wish I could talk to you right now after all that has happened to me lately....
