I love the poem and yes, that is the worst part to me is there is NO touch. When my husband died I knew I would miss him, but I never knew how much I would miss just a touch.

Thanks to all for understanding the loss

I am as big as I am for a lot of reasons. It's not like I sit here with a health issue. I'm fat because of depression. When I lost my husband, I let myself go too. My weight is a constant reminder he is gone

I can relate totally. For 2 years I sat in a hospital, by his side, and the weight came to me. But you know what? Even when he couldn't walk I was there, and even when he couldn't talk, I knew what would make him comfortable, and the weight and looks didn't mean a thing. I miss my husband too, but this taught me real intimacy. Love yourself and who you are and embrace it. I get down about my weight, but it won't hold me back.

Little frustrated...are we?

Gee thanks! Some guys are all hung up on "looks". I'm 42 and they all want someone built like an 18 year old. Not happening. Let them raise 4 kids and see if they don't seek shelter in chocolate!
