Dear Helcat:

You are welcome! “How are you doing?” I am fine (my always correct answer is: I’m doing better than some, not as good as others), thank you for asking.

“I miss my husband, even though he is right here. I love him a lot, but I feel lonely. He is my best friend and it feels like we have drifted apart. That hurts“- I am touched, moved by this honest, raw expression of how you feel.

What if you put this in a poem for your husband to read? It may touch him through a poem. Doesn’t need to be a fancy poem (not for a Buddhist!), just simple, straight from the heart?
