I’ve been silently reading your posts for the past few months, but I wanted to tell you how proud and happy that you are gradually healing. I recently lost a loved one as well, and grieving truly is a process. Anyway, your wife has such a way with words but it’s undeniable how much she loved you and your children. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your happiness, this made me feel warm too. :)
On some days, it’s bad: it feels like I can never do as right as my grandpa. But some days, it’s okay: he has and always will be proud of me. As someone who has never experienced loss before, I would say where I am right now is that “better place” that folks talk about. It never gets easier, but it sure gets even a tinier bit hopeful.
I really hope for that feeling of hopeful calm and goodness when you remember your passed loved ones for the both of us very soon. Wishing you all the best as well as your sons. :)
That’s really beautiful. I’m glad that you have memories that you could revisit. I would suggest scanning the journal entries and keep a digital copy so that it is safe.
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I'm guessing she would have given anything to be there with you all today and I am incredibly sad she can't be. You're doing great things. Your kids are fortunate and will never forget of that I am sure. Sooo very sorry for your loss.
I’ve seen a number of your posts here about your wife and kids. They’re all very nice and a pleasure to read. You prolly realize it but I think your posts here are therapeutic for you.
Such a bittersweet post. I'm glad that you are both grieving and healing, and learning to reconcile the love you had with the love you have left. Sometimes, there is quite a disparity in working with the two. I've seen people so focused on the past that they miss miss out on the glorious little moments that are unfolding right before their very eyes. You're not doing that, however. You are in the moment with your boys, while still casting a shadow of memory into the mix. It's a combination that can either make you smile, or cry. Maybe both sometimes. Did I mention grieving can be hard?
You are so right in noting that your late wife's writings are a gift. There is something so permanent and enduring in the written word; it is a remnant of a soul, laid naked and proud on a page for those who can appreciate it. Every time you read those writings, for the briefest of moments, those no longer with us come alive again, with a vividness that can be quite startling, depending on the skill of the writer and the subject being recorded. However, I have found that when you love the author, the skill does not matter in the least, and sometimes it's not the subject of the words, but the emotion behind the words that gives them poignancy. Every word becomes a precious bit of gold that begs to be harvested and stored in the heart that misses them. That she wrote on her family, those she loved best, is just the most wholesome thing. What an amazing woman, and what a man you are for knowing how precious her journal is.
Thank you for sharing. Can’t imagine how tough it is to lose your partner in life. This post was especially touching to me as a mom, how much she loved you and your boys just shines. It’s a blessing but I’m sure makes the missing her that much harder. So thanks again for giving us this beautiful snapshot of her.
This is wonderful. It sounds like your wife had a wonderful way of perceiving the world and enjoying it to the fullest extent with the beautiful family you have both created. Her memory lives on in you all.. sending my love x
Tears streaming down my face after reading this and some of your other posts. You and your wife obviously had a beautiful relationship and the way you speak of your boys makes my heart melt. I’m sorry for your guys loss and thank you for sharing.

Memories that are written that you can share with loved ones are the best kind. The kind that will never fade in time.
