How can you move on when you can't let go of the guilt?
Sky "We said the vows, "till death do us part." Only I never imagined the "death do us part" would only be five years after we spoke these words." Losing Dan almost destroyed me. The anger, the guilt, they ate me alive. I don't know how to let it go, and I don't know how to move on. Or if I even have the right. After all, Dan is dead, and it's my fault.
Jase The first time I met Sky was the worst moment of her life. The agony in her cries broke my heart. I would never wish that kind of grief on anyone, but to have someone love me that much? I wanted that. Five years later I would get my chance. Now I have to make her believe I will never leave her.
Losing her husband broke Sky's heart. It took her a long time to come out the other side. In an effort to take her mind off her memories, Sky goes to a nearby bar to hang out and people-watch. It is there she meets Jason, who seems strangely comfortable. And familiar in a way she can't quite place. He seems kind, and he's incredibly handsome. A girl would be crazy to not be interested. But does she have any right to be? After what she did?
Jase remembers the first time he met Sky vividly. He was forced to watch her fall apart, as she heard news that no spouse ever wants to hear. No one wants to be the one left behind, especially when there were other choices. I know she blames herself, and while I understand, she's wrong. Now I have to prove to her I will never leave her.
Can I move on? Can I prove myself to her?
How do you get past the guilt and the grief? How do you prove to someone you love that you will never leave?
I'm a single mom finally doing what I've dreamed of doing most of my life. I chose to write about the hard topics because they shouldn't be swept aside and ignored. If I can help even just one person by bringing some attention to these subjects, or let just one person know they are not alone, then it will all be worth it.
