At 75, I’ve lost many things in life. My losses have accumulated but aren’t all forever. I’ve been parted from my Father and Mother and other dear family members – cousins, uncles, and aunts. From friends, darling pets, and my health.
Nothing compares to losing Tom, my husband of 47 years. I’m suffering the loss of a man who suffered himself a lot over the years, then for a short time acutely and was gone. He was an affectionate, opinionated, thoughtful, logical, talented, grumpy, skillful man.
Gone to Heaven, praise God! To be with His Lord and Saviour, of Whom he always felt and knew himself unworthy. Thank the Lord there is no more loss for Tom, and that my loss of him is only temporary!
