I've taken a few days leave in order for me to 'clean - up' a few things around the house. This basically means that I taking Dawie's clothes and personal belongings and giving them to charity... Why, in the name of all that is holy do I feel so guilty/bad/raw etc etc. Honestly, it's just a never ending rollercoaster of emotional chaos.
I know it's unreal (or silly) but I feel as if I'm removing Dawie from my life. I feel as if I'm 'removing' him from our home. Why? Why?
And the biggest why is still why did he have to die?
Fuck it - I can't do this anymore...
No longer in Kenya (aaah!) but still a Kenyan at heart...

Billy, I'm sorry about what you're going through. Don't go through it alone, have someone with you. I wish you all the best. Tamaku
It's never silly or unreal. It's very real for you. Acknowledge it. Say it outloud. It's times like these that I wish this relationship wasn't virtual....and in person, instead.
It is raw and it is meant to hurt - it's the way you heal. Clearing out his stuff will be healing once it's done. Don't let go of everything. Keep a few precious things as mementos.
Once you've done this, you will come to realise that he isn't gone from your life, he's in your heart and your memories and always will be - clearing out his things and giving them to those in need will not change your love or diminish the memories.
It is still a very hard thing to do, so yes, do get someone to help you, to be with you. Thinking of you.
Billy, its truly never easy to take certain steps but I honestly believe Dawie's spirit and memories live on- your love for him and his for you can never be 'taken away'. I wish you well.
