Last words of the last entry..."feeling sorry for myself" ... true again, some 3 years later

John (Jack) Byron Johnson, born in Cobalt Ontario on August 26, 1932, my 30 year partner, lover, friend and husband died on July 03, 2013 in the wee hours of the morning in Thessalon, Ontario.

 
And here I am, almost 2 months later ... my life changed for ever, a chapter has ended and I am afraid to turn the page. Well, I rather don't WANT to turn the page.... What now? Right - feeling sorry for myself. Feeling stuck, hurt and empty. They say that is all normal. Hm. Normal? I don't find anything normal about this. It rather feels to me that I am hovering in a twilight zone, in no-man's land! I want my life with Jack back, my partner back - gone for ever ...

Who am I?  I am "Jack and Anke", THE UNIT. Of course I have many other roles - Mom, friend, daughter, boss and on and on. But my life, thinking and breathing has been a "we" and "us". Yikes. I need to do some thinking, some digging and finding.

Ideal, Dream or Illusion?

I think, before I can really make any statements, I will have to put my thinking cap on. Don't know if this is a good time - Well, I am sick and may be that makes me reflective or introspective... some would say "feeling sorry about myself".
Anyhow. Life in the back 40s should be pondered. Romantic ... idyllic .... peaceful??
