Hello to all my friends here at DS. i havent been on alot been having a hard time with birthday and the holidays trying to move forward. Just when i think i am doing good i step back a few steps. I hope erveryones Christmas was good. I went on a rode trip to spend a few days in Arizona with Marks kids since we usually spent Christmas together. i glad i went its what Mark would have wanted. On they way there and back i laughed, i cried and i sang. But i am glad i made the trip. I spent Christmas with my grandsons and son, and family.
Soon it will be a year a couple of months that Mark will be gone. It still seems like it was just last week. I keep thinking its just a dream but its really not. I miss him so much and need him. I just hate this new life and everything that comes with it. I feel so lonely. i am trying to stay busy but that only works for a while. I still cant believe he is gone.
I want to wish everyone to have a Safe and Happy New Year. Hugs, Norma

Hi Norma, you're describing everything I've felt too for the past couple of months. I guess though we're all different individuals the grief process holds so many similarities for all of us. You're right, staying busy only works for awhile and then it all comes rushing back. I'm sure eventually it won't seem so overwhelming. I can't believe it's been a whole year here for me either - it seems like just yesterday...
Wishing you the best for the New Year, Judi

Norma, sounds like you are handling things in the only way you can. One step at a time. I have been
doing mostly ok. Family and last few days of work keep me busy. The house seems dreary today. But our
life keeps going on and on and on. Know Mark is wishing you well and happy. I know Jimmy is.
Have a peaceful New Year. Take care of you. Linde

Hi Norma, I haven't heard from you in a while just checking to see how you are doing. It's good that you had things to keep you busy through the holidays. But you are right is still comes back. I have actually passed the one year mark. The kids and I tried to stay very busy. I did help. But yestereday evening it all came to the surface again. Sure hope that it gets easier. For you too! Wishing you a New Year filled with peace. Denise
