This is one of my fears, my wife and I have been married for 41 years. I've always wondered what would happen if she left first. I know she would be going to a better place, where she would never hurt anymore. The past haunts her. I feel the pain in each word especially this time of year when we live in our memories. You're in my prayers, my friend.

Have a great day and Merry Christmas!

If you have good memories to hold onto then you will have something and things will get easier.
Thank you for sharing this lovely piece.

A very well-written heartfelt and sad Sonnet. We feel lost when a life partner suddenly is not with us anymore. We get depressed and sad, we try to find new hobbies and interests but their place stays empty.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I sometimes can relate when I sit in the dark and think of my father passing. You think of all the things that happened in the room, all the memories stored within, if the walls could talk. Thanks for sharing.

So sorry for the loss of your wife. The poem reflects the sadness and the moments that are missed. I can relate to this, as I lost my mom last January.

Hi Jay. This is a lovely poem, rhymed and composed well. There are many things we miss about relationships of those we love who are gone. The consolation is that, I believe, we will be together again. Marilyn

I am so sorry for your loss. This is a lovely tribute, in the form of a sonnet, to your wife. You are blessed to have had a wonderful marriage.
Today, my ex-brother-in-law was buried and I have been a little down all day. I couldn't attend the service as it would have upset too many people and yet he and I have been friends for over 50 years and I will miss him.

Blessings
Janet
