a change in the nature of my grief

3 years ago today, my husband knew he was dying (he died in July 2012) and he bought me a new car.. It was something that made him happy, as being sick with cancer took away a lot of his pleasures.

 

I feel sad today, but my sadness has changed. I used to feel bad because i lost him.  Now i feel bad because he lost his life. He lost all of the pleasures that we are still enjoying. Somewhere along the way, it became less about me and more about him.

 

Yet, I know he still loves me, wherever he is, and i certainly still love him.

 

Pretty strange.
