My Heart Was Shattered
Posted : 22 Nov, 2008 06:42 PM

The day the man (who I loved more than life itself) ended, I cried for the next 6 months. I prayed each night with the rosary wrapped around my wrist to help me to go on. I was unable to feel anything but sadness.I didn't think it was possible for anyone to cry that much. My heart was shattered. I could not find comfort anywhere. My soul, spirit and faith almost destroyed. I don't remember much other than the pain. I dont remember work or daily chores or anything other than complete emptiness and sadness.

Each day I would stop at the coffee shop drive through and then drive to the cemetary "Glen Oaks Memorial". I would sit and cry and write for hours. I even wrote how i felt closer to the dead than the living. I remember the day there was a burial and the procession was right where i usually parked my car to write and cry. I couldn't go there so i drove around to the other side and stopped. For the first time in 6 months i was confused and no tears fell from my eyes. I looked ahead at the tomb stone which read June 24, 1959 -May 20 1980. The young man's name was Peter. It may not mean anything to you, it did to me. I was born on the exact day and year as this young man. It didn't take a second for me to get the message. It was as though from heaven Peter was tapping me on the shoulder and telling me to "Live". He could not anymore. I am alive. I only went back to the Cemetary once and that was just to say thanks.

I am sorry for your loss, but imagine that same pain, with one difference..... The person I loved did not die. The most destroying part is God allows me to run across her path ever so often. I think the pain of death would at least be finale. But the pain of running into the person, knowing you will never be with then again is so much worse. That pain can not go away!

Very very touching Kathy. For me it wasn't the loss of a life but the loss of a love that turned out to be a deseption . For two years there wasn't a two day period that went by without anguished tears. But the Lord in kindness did deliver. I don't know if you will ever read this but if you do, you will know - someone else KNOWS. God bless
