This is so true, heartfelt, and lovely; a very special gift for Nomi. I can think of no better way to live with the acceptance that someone you love has departed to a place you will sometime also go.

when the hammer of emptiness lowers its blow, and shockwaves reverberate through our body and mind. This is a great line with a powerful message Carol. I too think we have all been here at least once. So sad, but true. Keep up the great work!

    Hello, Harry!
    I appears you have been overdosing on my short stories... which thrills me of course. I thank you for taking the time to read and enjoy. It's a blessing when something I write strikes a chord with the reader.

This is a beautiful work for such a very sad moment in Nomi's life. I am certain he will appreciate these heartfelt words.

This part was so touching:
We know our days are numbered, but selfishly, we are never ready to let go when the time comes. We shamefully ask for one more day, one more minute, a last sweet kiss, and a gentle squeeze of the hand. We hope for another tomorrow.

Prayers for Nomi!

Your words are heartfelt, emotional, and caring. You thoroughly understand the loss of loved ones, including a spouse. Words will not take away the pain of loss, but words can console and serve as a reminder that true love never dies, and loving memories live on forever. Your words aree beautiful and comforting.

Nomi, our thoughts, hearts, and prayers are with you.

    Thank you, Lorraine. I really wanted to reach out to Nomi because he had messaged me several times, but he hasn't read the story...maybe because it wasn't listed in the book. I hope he does see it. thank you for your kindness and the review.
    smiles and hugs, Carol

I really liked this one. I thought it was inspiring, nicely imagined and put together with plenty of emotion in the voice and stirring imagery. "In the silence we can hear our heart splitting apart" that really captured the feeling of pain and loss that seems to strike like a heart attack. I thought the imagery was just brilliant. The memorable little moments of life come alive in this piece, the moment of the wife preparing dinner for two, sitting beside him, taking his hand; all poignant, emotional moments seen from this perspective when a life comes to an end and we are left without someone who was always there for us. I felt much the same when my father died. estory

As someone who has felt the pain of losing that special mate, there is nothing that can be said or done to diminish the pain and loss. But your kind and eloquent words show the caring in your heart for Nomi's sorrows.
Thanks for sharing.

    I hope that as he faces the coming days and the emptiness suddenly over powers him, he will turn to all the poems and stories and find peace and know that others are there for him.
    Thank you as always,
    Carol

This is a heartwarming piece, Carol. It is true none of us are ever prepared for loss and no one ever truly gets over the death of a loved one. I lost my grandparents ten years ago, which isn't quite the same as losing a lifelong partner, but I still feel sad now when I think about them and wish they were still here. An excellent piece.

    Thank you so much, Jacob. You sound like my son...Out of five children, he is the only one who mentions his grandmother on a daily basis and freely gives her credit for why he produces movies.
