I stood on the very edge of this world and the next and farewelled my beloved husband of 24 years. He passed peacefully in hospital recently after a heroic three-year battle with cancer which was already stage 4 at the point of first diagnosis. He was a fighter, managed to see three children through VCE and graduation and into adult life before the scourge of cancer gained ascendancy.
How does one see a soul cross over and then oneself return to normal life? What is normal life after the loss of the love of one’s life? How to do without the chats we so loved on the couch at the end of the day and the walks and talks on the beach? He was so funny and insightful: no one made me laugh like he did. He left a light footprint wherever he went and was dearly loved by all. How does one survive an eruption of this magnitude? A mother who loses a child is still a mother. I feel no less a wife for the loss of my beloved husband.
