Wife Death Poem

This was written after the sudden loss of my wife. She was not just a wife but my best friend and partner in many of the adventures we experienced throughout our time together. I was trying to put the overwhelming emotions down on paper.

The Loss Of My Wife

Published by Family Friend Poems November 20, 2024 with permission of the Author.

What are you supposed to feel
when the woman you loved dies
In a really dark moment
do you wish you had gone first?
I walk into our bedroom to tell her something
and she is not there...now what--
Who knew sadness would smack me in the face
I was just hoping for one more day
It's called the "new normal" for the person left behind
The phone rings--it's not her
A voice from another room--it's not her
There is no one in bed with me but a pillow
The new normal--no thanks
I would give anything just to see her smile one more time

Oh how I feel for you. I lost my husband over a year ago and I'm still struggling. Keep writing - I found that helped. Very best wishes, Ann.
