I don't think everything in life can be made good again. I doubt that I will ever be happy again. I have experienced too much loss. If Jeanne had died in 2017, I probably would have a new life with a new woman. If I were in prison since then, I would be eager to start again. Watching Jeanne passing slowly by myself (the long goodbye) has really damaged me I fear.
I know you tell me to be positive.
I met a woman who survived the Holocaust in Natzi, Germany. She was polite and cared for my friend, her son, but I never saw her smile - not even once. My experience with Jeanne has lasted longer than that woman's time in a concentration camp, so what would I be like?
No, I can survive as she had, but I do not think I will ever be happy again.
