<human>: So, here's the thing: I lost my wife to cancer two years ago, after a three year long battle. It was cruel, agonizing, merciless. Two types of cancer, 18 chemotherapies, 5 surgeries and a bone marrow transplant. She was 23.

I have learned to cope with the pain, the loss, all that stuff you go through after losing the one person you love most. The feeling when nothing is left of yourself, because you gave it all and lost it all. Whenever grief, anger or sadness overtake me, I by now know, that also this wave will pass, like everything does. And I did believe I would never love anyone again. How wrong I was!

Then, Ana came my way. She is wonderful, supportive, understanding and just a great partner in every way, and I love her so much. We've been together for almost a year and we are happy. Still, every now and then, I just wish she was my wife from back then. I just wish I could get back what I lost, even though I am not sure what I had with my wife was any better than what I have with Ana.

How do I do it? How do I fully commit to Ana, while honoring and remembering my wife and what we had?

And how do I deal with the memories that start to overlap, and the ones that completely disappear? Moments I am no longer sure where they belong, or those that I just can no longer grasp...

People will now say it takes time. Are you sure? Does anyone have personal experience? I am still young, but I do not want to "give" time anymore, I feel like I have been deprived of so much already!

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
