Big V

My heart goes out to you. You don't come off as a cry baby at all. It's beyond difficult to suffer such a loss and continue on with life. Your writing is your blessing right now, and the year ahead should be full of promise.

I read somewhere that sometimes creative people need time to stop, reflect, renew, refresh, recharge, in order to regain/maintain their creative flow. You sound like you are about ready to let those finger fly again.

I finished Amanda, as I call it, and it is a spot-on story, painful as it is. So well done, and well told. Kudos to you for the telling of it. Perhaps you could let your mind wander, and then choose which way you want to go for your next story. Have some fun with whatever you decide.

My best to you, and I look forward to reading you again real soon.

I have been saying all year..."Self," I have been saying. "Self this dear good man is finding it just too difficult to write or even appear to think about his aching loss. The time will come when he will get hit with it."

I should have realized the Holidays would do it. It is only a couple of days but  the build up builds up the agony that has to be faced. Feel hugs from your friends here, enfolding you.

and reading you as you write away is going to turn this into a good, no a great year.

No one needs to tell you that loss is not easy especially one loved and held in such high esteem. Everyone tells you life goes on. You know that as well. It takes time. We all deal with it in different ways. Here's hoping that you remember she will live on as long as someone has memories of her.  Why not write her story? Not necessarily to publish but for your family.

Your fingers are itching...let them decide.  God bless and glad to see you posting again.

Thank you

I had a time of grieving and got 'better,' but the holidays always cause us to look back upon 'better times.' Oddly enough, my wife didn't like to read most of my stories but she did like "The Touch," a story first posted here before publishing.

Well Big V. it takes a long time to adjust perhaps your writing was a way of doing so.

Of course you miss your dear wife, nothing anyone can say can heal that wound. You must remember though and I have tried this myself. If it were different and you had passed away first would you like to think that your wife was alone bearing the pain. Of course not, I tried this when I very young. She would wish you to enjoy your life.
