Yet, you love the choice you have now made for the future.

My husband took his own life, and I cannot get over the anger I have for him. I cannot think about the good times, all I see is the bad times we were currently having in our marriage. And just because I can't remember the good times right now doesn't mean I didn't care about him!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16585965209196489814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270115853943065469.post-1233294726861515762010-06-03T22:03:32.106-05:002010-06-03T22:03:32.106-05:00Just found you...like your perspective...it's ...Just found you...like your perspective...it's real...Carol Scibellihttp://www.poorwidowme.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270115853943065469.post-3867169183080014522009-11-08T20:59:55.221-06:002009-11-08T20:59:55.221-06:00This is a very insightful and informative post. I...This is a very insightful and informative post. In my experience, people think you should just pack away the memories of your dead spouse once you are in another relationship. As if that can be actually accomplished! <br /><br />Your line about people not being a second choice but another one for a different time really impacted me. I will remember these words.<br /><br />I also liked your observations about "baggage." Interestingly enough, my relationship with a never-married man with no kids after my husband's death was more full of baggage than not. His lack of baggage actually ended up becoming the baggage. It has been far easier for me to now be involved with a man who was married and has a son.<br /><br />Thank you for inspiring a post filled with lots of food for thought.Widow in the Middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598249263166943162noreply@blogger.com
