Hi Jill!
I don't think we ever stop missing the person we've lost. We may go on, but they are always there in our hearts and in our minds. I understand the loneliness and not having someone to wake up with or go to sleep with, but I believe that one is never really alone with God walking beside them. If you are meant to have someone in your life again that will happen, but only when God says it is time. I don't know if you are a spiritual person or have faith, but I find that praying helps me. I wish you all the best and I am so sorry for your loss. Take care! 
Nancy

God's guidance
"I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me.
I know the Lord is always with me, I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me."
Psalm 16:7-8 NLT The steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. Psalm 37:23-24
Giving thanks that God is near
Sometimes we try to "ride out the storms" in our lives — doing this the best we can. We think, If I can just hang on and be strong, I can get through this. David knew he couldn't make it on his own. In the past, he had found help in the Lord God. And in this prayer, David again sought the Lord's protection: "Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge" (v. 1). He rejoiced in the guidance and assistance the Lord had given him. Though his enemies were trying to shake and topple him, David stood firm because God was "right beside" him.
In prayer today, acknowledge that God is right beside you — upholding and guiding you. Thank him that he helps you and does not leave you to struggle on your own.
A prayer for today…
Dear Lord, I will not be shaken, for you are right beside me…
