About Me
I AM A WIDOW WITH 9 KIDS...JUST TRYING TO SOMEHOW MAKE SENSE OF IT ALL. 4 YEARS AGO THE RUG WAS PULLED OUT FROM UNDER US AND SINCE THEN IT JUST SEEMS LIKE ONE THING AFTER THE NEXT. JUST LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO TALK TO WHO REALLY KNOWS HOW I FEEL AND MAYBE SHARE SOMETHING I KNOW WITH SOMEONE ELSE SO THEY DONT MAKE SOME OF THE MISTAKES I HAVE MADE SINCE THIS ALL HAPPENED TO US...

Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a Partner/SpouseMARRIED IN 1981...TOGETHER FOR 23 YEARS...9 KIDS...YEARS AND YEARS OF ROLLERCOASTER RIDES AS EVERYONE HAS. ONE NIGHT THE BLUE VAN PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND TOLD ME HE HAD BEEN SHOT TO DEATH DURING A GAS STATION ROBBERY. MADE NATIONAL NEWS AND I HAD TO WATCH HIM DIE ON TV...STILL NO ARRESTS...HIM..A WONDERFUL FATHER..NOT WITHOUT FAULTS BUT THE ROCK OF THE FAMILY. ME..NOT A WEAKLING BY ANY MEANS BUT NOW CUT IN HALF...AND IT HURTS.
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- i never thought anyone could cry as much as i have. now i try not to..i was always crying to myself anyway. nobody to comfort me. seemed kind of stupid and i just got a little cold.
- Getting Angry Working / Worked
- i always had a bad temper anyway...think i should probably do more of this as the kids have figured out i quit for a long time.
- Keeping Busy Working / Worked
- i was raised to believe that hard work was good for the soul...and mind...by the time you are done busting your butt you are too tired to feel sorry for yourself i guess...yeah it works...
- Music Working / Worked
- i couldnt listen to music for about 3 years...just made me cry...now its actually helpful unless its a really bad day...like a goal i set for myself...was bound and determined to be able to listen to music again...
- Remembering Working / Worked
- every time i did that it just upset me more...cant dwell on it i guess
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- tried this..nobody really knows how i feel...

Treatments
- Anger Management Working / Worked
- I TRY SO HARD AT THIS ONE. BUT I STILL WANT TO CHOKE PEOPLE ALOT OF THE TIME. FIND MYSELF STRIKING OUT AT THE WORLD BECAUSE I REFUSE TO TAKE IT OUT ON MY KIDS. SO IVE BECOME HATEFUL IN ALOT OF WAYS AND I DONT LIKE MYSELF VERY MUCH FOR THAT. EVEN THOUGH I FEEL THE WORLD DESERVES IT...ISNT THAT TERRIBLE.?
