It took me a while to come up with a word for 2017 – Initially I was going to use discover – I even made a graphic for it. But then I realized through my sadness and pain – I am just not there yet.
My life’s circumstances are devastating to say the least so no, not discover – then it came to me “strength”. Yes, I need strength to make it through this year. However, when I decided to look up, the exact meaning of the word it really didn’t fit – I need not only physical strength but also spiritual and mental strength.
I have finally found the word I need for 2017 and it is “COURAGE”
Yes I am going to have to really come to grips with my life and the total devastation that I will feel when I finally lose my husband. I touch his face and hold his hand at night when we sleep – with a deep sense of love and sadness.
I feel that the next holiday season will be spent alone… nothing anyone can really ever prepare for, the loss of a spouse – a hole through my heart – devastation in my soul…
Yes the perfect word for 2017 is Courage…
I am so very sorry for what you are facing in the coming days. Wishing you much courage in 2017.
Thank you…
My heart goes out to you. I fear getting older because of what may happen both to me, and my husband of over 40 years. Life is so uncertain – I wish you all the best, and hope you can continue to find the courage you and your husband need during this terrible trial.
Oh thank you so much – I think one thing I learned is that worrying is a waste of time – I know it is hard not to but just enjoy each and every moment you have together…
May you reach all your goals in courage this year.
Thank you – I don’t think I really have a choice. Sometime life is like that.
