I tried sleeping in our bed today. It worked for a couple hours - just a nap. I cried myself to sleep. I tried to sleep in the bed tonight. It didn't work. I felt like a fish out of water. I've slept on the couch since the beginning of the year. Well anytime that I wasn't sleeping at the hospital or hospice. Lisa's cremains came in the mail today. She donated her body to science and that's how they send the cremains back. I couldn't bring myself to open the box. I left the house today around 3 just to do something. I didn't know where to go or what to do. I feel purposeless and it makes me so very very tired. I miss my partner, my wife, the love of my life, the reason I was sure the sun rose and set in the world. I have an ache in the pit of my stomache that doesn't go away. It's hard not to think maybe if I did something different it wouldn't have turned out this way. I hate cancer. I've now been robbed twice of people I love because of that disease. I want my wife dammit!!!

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
