    Monday, March 31, 2008

    Well, today makes it three weeks since I lost the love of my life.  I'm nhot coping very well, as all this time (approximately 12:45 P.M.) he was still here with me.  I mean, he was alive and everything; it's not like I knew he was going to die.  He didn't indicate that anything was wrong.  He was pronounced dead at around 03:23 P.M., but the death certificate said...

  • ONE YEAR AGO

    Friday, March 27, 2009 | A Frustrating story

    Friends, I seem to be bouncing around today.
    Basically at this point I'm not a basket case. That's a plus. But, one minute , I'm mellow the next I'm crying like a baby...
    I can handle that. I just don't want to let the sorrow take over. I know that would be so easy. I refuse to let myself get to that point, EVER AGAIN. I feel like if I do I just may lose it completely.
    I don'...

  • Trying to think things through

    Saturday, July 11, 2009 | A Call For Help story

       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...

  • One year on

    Friday, March 14, 2008 | A Sad story

    It’s a year on Sunday since Pam died. This year seems to have been a never-ending journey from happiness to misery; a joyless monotony of emptiness and lethargy. I just miss her so, so much.
    Softly the leaves of memory fall
    Gently we gather and treasure them all
    Unseen, unheard you are always near
    So missed, so loved, so very dear
