You left us last year,
yet you are everywhere
(much to my surprise).
You live on, captured;
web-crawlers with sticky threads
make you immortal.
Two-edged sword plunges
into my heart; I cry out
in joy and sorrow.

I have often wondered how long people retain an after-life in cyberspace; and what effect it has on those left behind.
In a different way, every so often, after thedeath of my wife, her voice would pop up on the phone: I never quite knew why, and it could give a bit of a jolt. Nice to read

I can only barely imagine what it would be like to lose a beloved spouse. I am so sorry for your loss.
The jolt about which you speak? I am familiar with it. However, it's my father who jolts me. He is second only to my dear husband, with whom I am still lucky enough to share life -- so again, I just.. I am sorry for your loss.
I googled my father's name and was floored by the number of results. I lost track of how many "pages" of results there were.
It amazes me that we humans, being, are able to deal with the gigantic and final reality of death.
Thank you for you comments. I plan to revise this piece -- I am aware that in my grief I am unable to accurately, or at the least, unmelodramatically, convey what I feel.
Will distance make a difference?

It is the old adage about time healing all
and enjoying what there is to enjoy. My wife (about whom I generally don't like to speak on here) left a note for me, and my children. Don't do this or that,'because Mum would have wanted it', she wrote 'because a) I might not have wanted it; and
I might have been wrong.'
