Yet, I know my heart will heal

Comment from Bina1
I'm sure this is a confusing time, as a matter of fact I know it is. I am a recent widow, seems so odd to even say it. I'm sure just because you were able to build a new life, does not mean there were not feelings of the past. A lovely poem, thank you for sharing.Good luck in the contest.

Thank you Bina for your kind words and review. I am sorry for your loss. Yes, you are right...I did not think my ex-husband's death would effect me that much. After-all I have been with my present husband for 39 years. Somehow, it brought about a lot of old memories and regrets. Thank you for understanding.
Comment from Gladness
This is full of emotion, through and through. Such a difficult situation to deal with, and your poem puts it together very well.
God bless, Anita

Comment from elliejean
I love the picture. I love the poem. I love your author notes. You have feelings society doesn't want you to have. But the bitterness was over years ago. So was the romantic love but he was an important part of your past. He was also your children's father. I think you husband would understand. Great work.

Dear justjo66,

I'm very sorry for your loss and I thank you for sharing this beautiful piece that explores how subtly those emotions shift and change over time.
Heartbreaking and very raw.

Comment from S.Haney
This was sad and heartfelt as loss of life is fife. I two have lost. She was the love of my life. She was taken from us all many years ago and the pain is still so great to me that I cannot write of her. I am sorry for your loss if this stems from personal experience.

Thank you S. Haney for your review. I am sorry for your loss and yes, it was ex-husband the father of my children who died very suddenly.
Comment from bard owl
Excellent poem. If you had children with this man, it makes it all the harder to part with him physically and mentally. That says nothing of the terrible grief that goes with death. Best of luck in the contest with this contest entry. Best of luck to you. Blessings, Linda

Thank you Linda for your kind review of my poem. Yes, I had two sons with him. Even though we have been divorced over 39 years his death hit me pretty hard. I was surprised by my emotions.

Thanks Michael. It's good to be back. December was a mess. My oldest daughter had brain surgery (she's doing fine) and then while we are in Ok. City with her we get a call that my ex-husband has died. Wow, I thought I had worked out all those emotions years ago. Frankly, I was surprised. I have been with my present husband 39 years and love him dearly. He was the father of my two sons...but had not seen him in years.
