  • Crossroads

    Monday, July 14, 2008

    I think I fix it, I stop working on it, I break again.  I function, (no not function I actually thrive in my life) like one of my plays my makeup is thick and I wear my mask gracefully. I stay away from physical contact because I am afraid, when I drink I am not. The drink works better than the pills, so I quit the pills so that I could drink.
    I'm crying again and again I push it down. I...

  • Grief

    Tuesday, August 5, 2008

    I thought I would be ok with all of Pauls music stuff gone. After breakfast I checked my account and the money wasn't there yet. I just broke down and wailed and cried, tears streaming down my face. I screamed out my tears. The dogs came running over all upset not knowing how to comfort me. I'm reaching out for help. I don't know what to do with myself today. I feel like there are so ...

  • MY BIL TOOK A TURN FOR THE WORST

    Monday, December 29, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    Please pray. Jimmy is back in ICU and having another surgery on his pancreas Wednesday morning. Without it he will die even though it is very risky given his current condition. He is filling up with poison which has now gone to the brain. I am going upstate to be with the family.

  • Can't Get Up!!!!!

    Wednesday, January 7, 2009 | A Call For Help story

    My Dearest Jesse,
    Don't even know where to begin. Today my worst fears came true, I along with two others have been laid off from my job, I never saw it coming. I am so beside myself, I just don't know what to do.
    Who's going to hire a 53 year old?
    I was strong in front of my fellow co-workes but when I got into my car I just couldn't hold it back.
    I cried and cried all the way home....

  • It's about time

    Tuesday, June 30, 2009 | A Call For Help story

    It has been several months, over 5 actually, since I have last made an entry in my journal. for a guy that is generally never short on words you'd think I make entry's more often. But, alas, all is not write in the world. Since last January much has changed - including me.
    I have met face to face with both TreasuresMom and Zippyy. I had lunch with Treasures Mom twice as I was traveling wi...

       As most of you know my husband, Don, died on 6/15/07 and  I've been working very hard on healing and finding a purpose to live without him.  On 2//16/09 my mom died in a nursing home, but I was at her side with my son.  I manage my feelings very well after losing her as I believe I grieved for her years ago when she became so demented she no longer knew me or where...
