Today is the final day of the worst year of my life;it was one year ago on the 22nd of August that my longtime girlfriend,Sonia,died from lung cancer.
It has been a year of profound grief,sadness and anger.I miss her greatly,and always will.At times,I questioned going on,as suicide seemed a viable and attractive option.
Maybe I can now resume the rest of my life,but there will always be a huge chasm in my life and my emotions.only time will tell;I will endeavor to regain some sense of equilibrium,and maybe happiness.

Time is a construct. There exists only The Present Moment.

Yes, it is easy to want to put and end to all the pain we are feeling. I have been there more than once in my life but am happy that I did not do it. As years have gone by there have been times that have been happy for me and there will be times that will be happy for you too.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have never lost anyone due to cancer, most of the deaths that have occurred in my family have been due to violence. Last year my adult son was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that is terminal, there is no cure. My son has approximately two years and I am taking things one day at a time. I don't even know how to prepare for this upcoming grief, I'm afraid to be honest, because suicide has been a huge form of death in family and it may haunt me yet. I hope your days get better, I wish you peace
