Married fifty years and the eighth anniversary of losing my wife, Pat, to cancer.
My beloved husband died 16 years ago next week and mostly now, I wear him as a shawl, comforting me. On occasion, grief rolls in then recedes but never goes away. I've found another relationship and am content. Grief is an interesting journey.
So deeply moving - and true
Thank you
Only Love Prevails.
I can’t bring them back again
Those moments I hold fast in memory
Dear ones dancing in my dreams
Still reaching out to me
When Spring has come and gone again
And brilliant Summer pales
And Fall sets sail in frosty winds
Only love prevails
No, I can’t change the flow of time
Tho sometimes I’ve wished that I could
But my heart shall bind up all loose ends
And keep them mine for good
So let us recall some old songs
And sing them out around the fire
And hail once more our loved ones before
The hour that we retire

That strongly resonates.
It's good you have sound someone. I'm 81 and just not in that mindset.
