I thank you all for your kindness. Your words of wisdom are taken very much to heart.

There is this emptiness, hollowness inside. As much as I try the sadness doesn't seem to lift.

My daughter-in-law is a crafts person and we enjoyed many hours of crafting together over the years. Now nothing. I see her enjoyment as she works with the different mediums and I just watch, feeling nothing. Enjoying nothing.

The pain, sadness consumes me allowing no happiness to shine through.
