Hello Yeuxpers,
I read your message with great interest, and then with emotion.
Everything you describe, I have experienced it just like you, and I am still living it just like you.
I am sorry to see that life has not spared you either.
Like you, I lost my husband to leukemia, and time has passed; it has already been twelve years. From a life shared in love as a couple, we found ourselves overnight alone, having to take on the roles of mother and head of the family. All of this in the face of the total indifference and hypocrisy of the people around us, who are supposed to provide the comfort that would be legitimate in such circumstances. It is also distressing to realize that we are surrounded by freeloaders—so-called friends who do not hesitate to denigrate us with lies, which I have experienced too—and by people who timidly try to comfort you while being uncomfortable because they do not know how to behave with a grieving widow, and because death disturbs them in some way. It is awful, but that has been the case since the world began.
We are desperately trying to get back on our feet, and every time we overcome one barrier, another one appears.
Naturally, we turn to clairvoyance, hoping to finally find answers and comfort, but once again, disappointment. We search, we are in quest of answers, but nothing comes. And as you say so well, this wears us down; time passes, passes quickly like our youth, and we still try to look toward the horizon to see if we can glimpse even a thread of hope.
Friends, today we must look at life differently, live each passing day to the fullest, and be philosophical. What has helped me is my spirituality; thanks to it, I was able to keep my head above water and avoid sinking. Perhaps reading what I have just said about spirituality will initially seem flat and not immediately resonate with you, but later, when you reflect on it, you will see some doors of hope open. Believe me, it helps. We must elevate ourselves as much as possible in order to distance ourselves as much as possible from earthly baseness.
I was delighted to meet you on the forum and hope to have the pleasure of reading your posts soon.
I wish you good luck
See you soon
