01-25-04,A question posed by fellow widow Betty.
Since our partners are such an integral part of who we are & were - I believe that we would be denying access to parts of ourselves if we were ever totally "beyond" bereavement.
I believe there will always be an underlying ache and a longing for them , it will just be buried deeper inside with the unavoidable passage of time and the inevitable rejoining of our spirits into life's mainstream again.
They will always be inside of us- just in different levels of our consciousness and life force.
