    • About Me

      35 years in the radio factory. We build radios for the Navy mostly, but Air Force and Army, too. I have a grown daughter, and my mother of 91 lived with me until she died, too, in July.

      From DLU October 22, 2007

      Yes, I'm throwing myself in to my work--14-16 hours a day just to keep from going backwards. I guess we do that so we don't stop and cry; and think of how much we miss them. I need to do my journal, but not sure when I'll have that time. Be good, girl!

      From DLU October 20, 2007

      Your love can never die--remember that. The first year anniversary is the hardest. I'm now at 16 months and still miss him everyday; but realize that I have to go on--work 16 hours when I can a day to not cry. DON'T DO THAT--CRY and tell him that you care still, but remember that you need to take care of yourself. Your friend, Donna

      Type: Loss of a Partner/Spouse

      This is new for me, and it's hard to get started. I lost my significant other to leukemia (CLL) Nov 4, 2006. We were inseperable for 11 years, nine of which we knew of his disease. I know it will get better with time, but if I only learned one thing from all of this, it's not to wish your life away. Live each day as if it were your last. But I can't do that right now. I just want to fast forward to the day that the pain is not so intense.
