    • About Me

      I was blessed with a loving husband and best friend for 26 years, those were the happiest years of my life. Rolando and I were inseparable during our marriage and now I must face the world without him. However, I continue to be blessed because I feel he is always with me in spirit and that helps me carry on. Love is such a wonderful gift and it is eternal. My dear DS friends, know that for those of you also experiencing a loss, my prayers are always with you...We are not alone.

    • I’m With You

      From justyouandme Saturday

      Oh, I do agree with you. I almost dread the holidays which is terrible, and now that my duaghter's baby is here, she is all for a holiday dinner. But, I would just love to relax. Christmas is worse. Oh, to just have a relaxing day and think about what is important. Certainly not the presents and glitter. I think I would like to appear at your house, and we could be stress free. I know your present diet is healthy, and I wish you well. My daughter had her baby at Loma Linda University Hospital. It's a Seventh Day Adventist university, so that's all you get in the cafeteria. They say most of the people there live well into their 90's. I understand you just have to learn to balance out your nutrients. Anyway, I give you credit and the best of luck with it. Happy Stress-Free Thanksgiving, my sweet friend. Oh, by the way, my friend in Minnesota lives with her daughter who is vegetarian. They are having something that looks like a turkey but isn't. Lots of hugs and prayers, Enid XXX

      Thank you Vivian for your comment to my journal. As I said, I never met her either, but this strange journey we're on makes us all kindred spirits. I hope you are well and having a good day, my friend. Love, hugs, and prayers.....Enid

      From justyouandme October 18

      Thank you, Vivian, for all the support you have given me. It's so hard to tell people, who don't understand, how I feel. They think I'm being obsessive about it. I think I feel this way because of no goodbyes, no final words - like 46 years together was over just like that. Thank you again for being my friend. I know you are right in my heart. I sense that you have found some peace within yourself on this terrible journey, and I am happy and encouraged for you. Love, hugs, and prayers always, Enid

    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Partner/Spouse

      My husband of 26 years passed away unexpectedly on August 13 of this year. We did not have any children and now I am alone in our home and I feel completely lost and desolate. The pain is almost unbeareable sometimes. I do not have any family where I live, but my mother is staying with me for now. She is elderly however and I worry about overwhelming her with my grief.

      Treatments

      Keeping Busy Too Soon to Tell
      I started to work again, but I am working from home and my husband was always by my side, so even work is painful right now.
      Prayer Somewhat Helpful
      I do pray everyday. It helps.
      Remembering Working / Worked
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My mother's support is invaluable. But I worry that I may overwhelm her.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I talk to a friend who lives in another state, and that is helpful. This is the only friend that calls me all the time to see how I am doing.
    • Close Widows & Widowers

      My Husband died on August 13, 2007 unexpectedly. He and I had known each other for 26 years and had been married for 20. He was my very best friend in the world. A wonderful, loving and caring person who filled my life with blessings and joy. I find it unbeareable being without him now. The pain and the longing are so deep, I never realized there could be so much pain.
