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...

My heart is so heavy. I had one of those dreams I call visitation dreams. It was like he was with me. So close. We were sitting on the side of the bed hugging. I couldn't see his face but, I could see the side of his head and his white tee shirt he liked to wear. I told him I loved him and he wouldn't answer but, he would hug me tighter and tighter. Finally we fe...1 Recommendation11 Comments

This afternoon Dad said that he wanted to go in a Nursing Home...So I talked to my Mom and told her.
Afterward I sat down with Pop to talk. As we were talking he was saying little things about how he knows he is getting very close to the end of his life. He said he was born on the east coast and will die on the east coast...He was not moving to Az.
Well, he teared up and I have been balling since.

After four months, I have just been struck with the reality that I will never kiss, hold, or see Claire again (on earth that is). It is so painful, I thought I was past this.

I went to the...1 Recommendation9 Comments

It is six months today that I lost my one, true love. I have thought about writing a poem,
but have found it hard to do till now. Through tear-filled eyes I have written this:
"Six Months"
"Six months today my Greatest Love did depart,
Shredding my soul and breaking my heart
Never again to gaze upon his beautiful face,
Left all alone in this god-awful space
Love of my family I do en...2 Recommendations11 Comments -
Why do I have to think about that day everyday? It seems like there is not one day that goes by that at some point I dont have the images or memories of that horrible day that my husband was found come into my head. It is so painful to go there, but yet I cant stay away. I just think of all the pain and turmoil that he must have been going through and how sad he must have really ...1 Recommendation9 Comments
