Four years ago, my husband got very sick on all levels. At the time he said he died. Certainly, he is a very different person now. His essence continues. As time passes, he is well, without outward symptoms. The medical system came through for him with surgery, pharmaceuticals and charity.
The energetic widowhood I have experienced is private. Publicly we continue to present a united front. We are together, with our cats, our son, our studios and our practices. This is not the case for two of my long term besties. Both shared yesterday that each of their partners died 4 years ago. Cancer took one. Car wreck took the other. Clear contrast from the dramatic statement made by my very living husband in the same time frame.
Have you experienced loss of a partner? What remains of them, still living in your spacious heart? Ki to Happiness remembers herself to the love through yoga.
One reply on “Widows”
During 53 years of my marriage there were periods of passion, separation, reuniting, emotional divorce and re-bonding. These were neither good nor bad, simply the evolution of a long term relationship where changes and transformations of two individuals are inevitable.
