Grief

So today I had one of my sessions with my pastor.  He has been doing grief counseling and well just counseling with me since a few weeks after David died.  There really isn't much more he can do for me.  I know it is all up to me now.  But when I have one of my sessions I feel safe and know I can say how much I just miss David.  I know I can tell my friends to but I have this fear that there will come a point when they are sick of hearing it so I try not to say it to often to them and save it up for my sessions.  Today he asked me what I miss the most about David.  I miss every little thing about him.  I just miss having him here with me.  I miss being able to look over to his chair and see him sitting there sleeping.  I miss being able to reach out to his side of the bed and feel him lying there.  I miss looking forward to him coming home to me.  I just miss him so much.  How am I supposed to live without him?  In theory I am only midway through my life span, how do I live another 40+ years without him?  He wasn't perfect but he was mine.  I didn't go out looking for him but there he was and he wanted me.  Why I will never understand but he wanted me and now he is gone and I am all alone again.  And so the tears started flowing in my session and now they can't stop.  I hate this feeling, it is just so overwhelming. =(

Oh Becky...thanks alot. Now you've got me crying. You can tell me how much you miss David as much as you want. I would never have the right to get "tired" of hearing it. If I ever do "feel" that way...I'll try to stop myself, and ask, "How would I feel if I were Becky?" Never stop remembering him [I don't know how you could], but remember that you DO have those 40+ years to go and you shouldn't be alone. David wouldn't want that for you. ;)
