  • Hey Ellen... Have Your People Call My People!

    Saturday, June 14, 2008 | A Painful story

     A message to "my people", those who long for the one who went first...
    Although I wish it weren't so - God, how I wish it weren't so - for any of us... EVER,  here we are... alive, under dark clouds of loss that cast long shadows over us.
    Can't help but think (selfishly & irrationally) that it's harder on me cuz I grew up, & still live, in Chicago - wher...

  • 34 Years Ago...

    Sunday, June 29, 2008 | A Painful story

    Today would have been our 34th Wedding Anniversary.  In years past, we rarely made a big deal about it.  I regret that now, and yet wonder if today would be worse than it is if we had???  This is a prime example of "I'll never know". 
    Felt worse earlier - much worse.  That doesn't mean much, though; my feelings are still control'n my though...

  • I think I hate myself

    Friday, May 8, 2009 | A Painful story

    A nasty intrusive thought just popped into my mind while I was adding some new goals.
    I think I hate myself.
    I was adding a goal about going back to playing my piano again when this though came up. I have stopped playing piano because of the pain. And I have just not been able to get back to it. My beloved piano sits covered with dust, and my music book that fell off the piano benceh has remained o...

  • In a bad funk...

    Thursday, September 3, 2009 | A Painful story

    I have not been able to write  much in my journal lately. My feelings are all over the place and I have been having pain to boot (pain triggers depression, ocd, anger, and anxiety for me). Lately my thoughts have been turning to death and I am trying hard to focus my mind on positive things because I know that usually works for me. But lately it has been harder to do.
    The OCD is stirring up s...
