    • About Me

      I am trying hard to find myself and fit in somewhere since my husband lost his battle with cancer on 12th Jan 08. I'm going through the motions of living but really just existing. This life doesn't feel like mine anymore but I hold onto the hope that it will slowly change and get better.

    • Interests

      I really love the sea and beaches with the waves lapping on the shore on a nice day. I love the sound of the birds singing in the trees, the fluffy clouds on a still day and the warmth of the sun in the summer. I used to like camping, walking, pottering around the house and spending time with my hubby. I don't have anything at this time i enjoy without my love, except the solitude on a quiet day alone with my thoughts, sitting outside on the swing seat we used to share.

      From cliffskat February 11

      Hey there - wanted to check on you - we were following the reports on the wildfires while I was in the UK - I hope you and yours are all okay. I managed to be in England for the worst snowstorm in 20 years - my timing is impeccable - but had a wonderful time nonetheless. I'm just back and I'm trying to catch up with my friends here and I was thinking of you and hoping you were spared from the catastrophe. Drop me a line so I know you're all right, okay? Love and Hugs, Martha

      From JudiB February 7

      Hello my dear shazz, just sending a hug and some love and wishes for a good weekend. Hope all is well with you and your family. I do hope things have been resolved with you and your daughter. Sometimes we need to continue to remind the young ones once again that life is too short for us not to put these things behind us as quickly as possible. Blessings to you dear friend, Judi

      so sick of crying. makes me tired,eyes ache get out of control. I guess it must do something though as it is the most natural thing to do when we are sad
      Getting Angry Not Working
      just makes me feel exactly that angry! and i don't like it
      Grief Counseling Somewhat Helpful
      helpful at start but not down the track a bit. just for venting really can't help me through this
      Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
      i find i am either feeling like my life is in slow motion or i am wearing myself out on something. when i have been busy i guess it has felt a little better in a strange way probably because i feel as if i have achieved something
      Music Not Working
      can't bear to listen to music. tried and just makes me unbearably sad. loved old love songs and country before.

      can't concentrate. would love to be able to read, tried but my mind is only focused on my loss

    • Close Widows & Widowers

      My husband passed away on the 12th Jan and I am completely lost. I read where this is normal but it doesn't help. I feel like I'm living in a different world and don't want to see any friends. I feel alone and can't get a grip on what has happened. How can someone just disappear. I worry about him and feel different from everyone else. The days go by but if I don't write down daily journal I can't remember what I did the day before. What a nightmare

      Treatments

      Grief Counseling Working / Worked
      helps a little, the closest person I have to understanding what it's like. Just some-one to vent on, can't really offer any ways to make it easier. Just have to keep going however I can. Usually feel bit better after talking with her.
