A Year of Love and Change
Estimated reading time: 0 minutes, 53 secondsLast night, our family observed Jan’s first Yahrzeit. It is now officially a year since the love of my life died.
Neither the secular nor Hebrew calendars are wrong, but it still seems I was kissing Jan for the last time yesterday.
I am not the same person who met Jan or the one who married her, raised a family, and loved each other forever.
Of course, I am also not the same person who buried her a year ago or even celebrated her life a month ago.
As Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and David Kessler wrote,
You will be whole again, but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to.
I have changed in the last year, but my love for Jan has grown.
