About Me
I'm a widow now. It's weird, not being married, but I'm an optimist and believe life is a road with a few bumps along the way. The key is to get back up, brush it off and keep moving on. Jesus Christ will help carry me through any trial. I live in Williamsburg and love it hear. My two children and grandchild are close by. I am making new friends and joined a fantastic church. Am returning to school for my master's degree.

I've handled much in my life...but what I"m going through now seems unbearable. I am turning into a pessimist. I am disappointed in myself …

Thank you for commenting on my post, I think its ok to remember our loves how they really were. Not that Bruce was horrible but he wasnt the saint that I was feeling that he was since his passing. Sorry I cant help you with your post about your husbands cancer. Maybe he was afraid to face the pain of treatment or thought it would turn him into a shell of who he was. Bruce had heart disease and would not change his ways, he said that if he was going to die young he was going to die happy, So he basically drank himself to death. I guess thats what made him happy. Hugs to you, Lori

Cathy: Thanks for the hug. I read your profile and some of your latest comments and I love your attitude. It seems that you are in a good "place" right now and I think we share the same feelings about the value of having a "mirror to our soul" in our lives. Many, many hugs ... Tom

Close Depression
Life is better than it was six months ago. We sold our home and paid off all our debt. That's relieves ALOT of depression. Just taking things one day at a time. God will never give me any more than I can bare. There is a reason for everything and many times, I need to take a good, hard look at myself before I blame God or others. I am a lump of clay, which God is forming into a beautiful vessel, and guess what, it HURTS...but I truly trust God, that He alone will guide me.
Close Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety
I started out as an outgoing, happy-go- lucky kid, loved myself and others, and then terrible things happened when I was 12 or 13 that shattered my self-esteem. Its taken years to overcome social anxiety. What I've learned is that I have to "fight" it in my mind, positive self-talk, and put myself in situations, such as performing in local theater, joining toastmasters. This alleviates my fear, I am much more confident and if others don't like me, I don't give a damn anymore. I like me.
Open Widows & Widowers
I lost the love of my life on November 13, 2008. We were married 26 years. He was only 47.
