the end and the beginning

This blog....I'm starting this blog to try to understand my life- the life I had with K, and the life I'm forced to live without her.  My life ended February 16, 2015.  It ended when her life ended.  Everything I knew stopped in the second I was told that she died.

I know there are stages to grief.  I've grieved before, and grieve still for those I've lost before- beloved grandparents that meant the world to me; my pet family that was as much my family as my human family.  I've had my heart broken.  This...this is a different heartbreak.  I'm obliterated. 

So this blog is for me.  For me, for K.  For anyone who loved her, for anyone who is grieving at all.  I don't know what each day will bring.  I'm scared- right now I'm fairly calm; I just can't wrap my mind around this concept; it feels fake- it feels like this experience could stop at any moment & she will be here and life will return to normal.  So I wait.  I wait for this to stop.  There is a sense to me of 'this can't be it.'  'IT' meaning...the end.  This can't be the way her story, our story, goes.

I wish I could say I had a sense of her presence with me, but I don't.  I want that.  I want to have that desperately.  But I also wonder if I can't have that sense, because I can't accept it.  I want to refuse this reality.  I keep telling myself that I don't have a choice.  I didn't choose this.  And going on with life- there's not another option.  I have no choice.  I am helpless.  I am lost.  I have moments of sheer rage where I want to destroy everything.  I want to burn the world down.

There is a thought that keeps running through my mind.  "Life is but a dream."  My life now...my life is but a dream.
