I am not as good with uplifting words as Judith and Debbie are. I lost my boyfriend in August of 2007 so I am somewhere around the same place you are in terms of timeline...I know how you must be feeling. It's such an up and down time. Some days I feel like I am actually normal and will be okay, some days I have no desire to open my eyes and get out of bed. I just keep taking days one at a time. There are wonderful people on this site and who are so comforting. I will attempt to be one of them! Since I am admittedly not as adept with words, I will post for you (and everyone else) some of the quotes I've found.
"You can shed tears because he is gone, or you can smile because he has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see him, or your heart can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he's gone, or you can cherish his memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what he'd want, smile, open your eyes, love and go on."
Rest assured that in his dying, in his flight through darkness toward a new light, he held you in her arms and carried your closeness with him. And when he arrived at God, your image was imprinted on his joy-filled soul."-- Molly Fumia
