For the first three months after her passing I was so lost, depressed and had not much will to live on. Then fortunately a good dear friend of mine introduced to cycling.
I discovered that cycling has helped to take a load of misery & grief off from my mind. Since then I've been an avid cyclist; some days I ride as far as 190 - 260 kms to Desaru or beyond.
When I'm in my saddle, I feel so exhilarating and I'm in total control of my life....it's so therapeutic.
Hello Poon
I am sorry about your wife. My condolence to you and your family.
Losing someone that you loved so much in your life, is like living in hell on earth during that stages of grievance. I know how it feels like to lose a loved one.
I think what you did to adjust your life again without your spouse was very courages. I like cycling too in the past and then I switched that fondness of cycling to driving. So, I drove all over W. Malaysia whenever I felt very depressed with my own life. But that was a long time ago. So, after I had received the news about my mother's demise (23rd June 1994), I drove all over Indonesia. I felt better after that journey. It was a journey of soul searching. It was all about letting go and wishing all the glory of God upon her soul.
It is all about letting go and to let it go with love, knowing that they loved us too and wished us to continue our life with joy and happiness.
Thank you for sharing with us and showing us the shape of your heart.
Best regards,
Joe
