Time Does Not Bring Relief (Sonnet II)
Time does not bring relief; you all have lied
Who told me time would ease me of my pain!
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;
I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
Husbands are, for many wives, their source of comfort, love, joy, and companionship. Many wives consider their husband to be their confidant and best friend. To lose the man they have relied on for so long can be utterly devastating. For those who have not experienced the loss of a husband, it is impossible to understand the depth of the pain a wife feels. It is a pain so deep, the human mind only comes to accept the harsh reality gradually. Widows and her supportive friends and family can honor their loved one by recounting a kind gesture or amusing stories involving him.
Time does not bring relief; you all have lied
Who told me time would ease me of my pain!

My husband passed a month ago. I am filled with so much grief. Everything reminds me of him. I'm told time heals. I wish it moves quicker so that I can heal, but it seems to be standing...

Eternal lights flicker
In a distant sky.
Where have you gone;
Why did you die?
Thank you for your beautiful poem and supporting words. My lovely husband and soulmate died two weeks ago, quite unexpected, at the age of 50. I am 30. He was everything to me, so loving,...
I sit alone now in the darkness of despair.
I cry my silent tears.
My heart is broken into a million tiny pieces.
The silence is deafening to my ears.

When life seems a blur,
And I can't quite believe
That I'm living without you
And you were taken from me,
Thank you for saying what I feel. Just lost my husband and not sure where to go from here or what to feel. I know life is for the living and I must muster the strength and courage to continue...
I woke up this morning
And reached over for you.
You weren't there, I remembered.
Now what will I do?
Each day I wake since you're gone, drinking coffee, feeling empty and alone. No one to talk to about what we used to share. Trying hard each day not to live in despair. Trying to stay busy,...
I have only just lost you; the pain is hard to bear.
Do I have to go through life knowing you're not there?
Please, someone explain to me why he had to go.
Are there any reasons, I really need to know?
I lost my husband 3 months ago. My heart is still aching as strongly as the day he died. He was not ill, and was taken from me suddenly. I suppose that is the hardest part. I had no time to...

You're gone, and all that's left is nothing but memories,
Memories that lead me to silence and tears.
I miss your arms that hold me tight,
Your snore that fills our room at night.
I lost my husband Sept 18, 2018. It's been a year, and I'm still up crying. Grieving, praying every night for God to take this unbearable pain away. I just want to feel normal again. How does...
Why has He taken you from me?
Torn from my side, where you should be.
Forty-six years we lived as one
To stand stronger than we had begun.
I identify with many of your grief stories. My husband of almost 35 years died on Christmas Day 2017. He bravely fought cancer for two years. He was an amazing man, a wonderful husband, a...
If death is nothing at all,
We will be enjoying summer and fall;
We shall talk and laugh as we have always done,
Instead of waiting for my time to come.
She got up this morning,
sun shining through the blind.
She took a look in the mirror,
and something crossed her mind.
This wonderful morning I woke up realizing you're two hours away, sick, and unable to play. I said my prayers and begged God to keep you safe and to heal all your strife and illness away. A...
