Sitting here watching the Eagles on TV, I began to think about Thanksgiving. I know that there is so much to be thankful for. My sons will be home and we will be together. I have a close extended family and a caring group of in-laws. My health is excellent. My friends have been supportive. My marriage was blessed and I am so glad for the 30 years Bear and I had... -

I keep starting a journal...but can't seem to get very far with it. I write a few words and my nose starts burning...eyes watering...and I stop as quickly as I can knowing that if I don't I will start crying again. I will probably have to stop writing again....but I want to keep trying.
I want my husband back so badly. I know I can't have him...but I don&#...

You all are the life line that we need. I thank each and everyone of you for your thoughts on my down day yesterday. It must be the holidays. Don's birthday, our anniv., Thanksgiving and Christmas. New Years and Jan 2 a few years ago my brother who was a best friend died in an auto wreck so this time of year is not a fun one.
Thank yo...

The holidays approach...rapidly. I am not ready. I don't think I'll ever be ready to face the holidays again. I love my children and my grandchildren, but I wish I could just go away to some far away place, like maybe the mountains of Colorado. Sit by a fire, look at the snow and just be away from all this. But I know, deep in my heart, that doing that will n...1 Recommendation -

The Cemetery Ceremony:
From the beginning the thought of burying my wife's ashes gave me an awkward feeling. I've never done this before and worried that I wouldn't do it right, not give it the respect it deserves, etc. But I knew it had to be done.
Even writing this out feels awkward: perhaps it's the same concern as far as giving this story the proper respect, I'm not sure. but it does feel awk...1 Recommendation -

Cockermouth, a market town 330 miles northwest of London, lies at the junction of the Cocker and Derwent rivers and is known for being the birthplace of poet William Wordsworth. Part of this pretty town has been destroyed by floods.

bad day, thinking of words said wish could be taken back. Words not said wish that they had been. It just does not seem right that the person left behind has all the memories of what should have been. Thoughts in a moment of being angry. Thoughts of the love that was not expressed. Please Please can we turn off the guilt. Tonight I am so lonely for the love I had and...1 Recommendation9 Comments -

This is my first time at this site and it is really a big step for me. My husband died three years ago and my dad died on exactly the same day and one had nothing to do with the other. They both have/had November birthdays so this is a hard month for me. I think I am finally ready to start moving forward but how do you know when you are ready? How do you go about meet...1 Recommendation -

It seems like things just keep going wrong since my Bob passed. First the water heater, then the pickup needed a gas tank. Now his prize 1964 Chevy C10 side step pickup is leaking transmission fliud. I guess these things probally would have happened if he was here. But it just seems overwhelming with him gone. But the sun did shine today and Monday will call the local garage to ask about the C10.... -

Went out with good friends, my daughter and her boyfriend last night for my godchild's fiances birthday. Had a really good time, very comforting to be with these people who my husband and I've known forever, but I felt like he was there but not there all night. He was on my mind the whole time, missing him so much. Then this morning I was non stop waterworks. Sitti...1 Recommendation -
