Ooh, what a gut punch! That energy hug. And that wonderful understanding of John and his military background, and how that shaped him. It's tear-your-heart-out territory.
I love your writing; you draw us into your wonderful story. That was a special kind of love, and obviously, it lasts beyond the veil of death. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings so eloquently. I experienced this "presence" too after my husband passed. It's amazing. Death is not the end.
This is a truly beautiful story. Your writing is so touching. I can't wait to read more! My favorite line was this one "That realization is a punch to the chest—part regret, part empathy response, all love." Thank you for your heart warming love story. I don't know if this would be something you would like, but the book Healing After Loss: Daily Meditations for working through Grief by Martha W. Hickman helped me a ton with my grief.
Crying. My heart is so tender. I can FEEL him hugging you!
This is a beautifully written story about someone who sounds like he was a special human being. I'm so glad he found you and completed his mission.
So am I, Linda. John was absolutely my person. And I was his.
Lovely piece. I like the idea of science we don't understand yet. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks for reading, Rose. John was a beautiful soul and I'm honored to share pieces of his story, and ours.
Crying tears of the bereaved. Have experienced something similar.
I'm so sorry for you've been in similar territory. Please take good care of yourself, and let others care for you, too.
This is such a heartbreakingly beautiful essay. I cried buckets through the last paragraphs.
Thank you, Nancy. 💕

It's so comforting to feel that presence, isn't it? I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thank you. Yes, it is.
Beautiful story.
Thank you so much!
