      Hey Tim, As always good to hear from you. I think the holidays is making this really really hard. I'm just ready for it to all be over with. I am more a mess now then I was 4 months ago! So much in my life has changed. and I'm not finding that much as been good changes. I miss my family so very much!

      Hey Tim, How's things with you? I've not been on here much lately. I just drop in every now and then. Been working alot and struggling with the holidays coming up. I know you understand. It's hard enough with losing a spouse but losing a child is a whole different "ball game". I've found myself crying alot lately. Today has been really hard for some reason, not sure why. Stop by and chat anytime.

      Hey Tim, Yes the dance classes are great! We've met alot of nice and some interesting people - lol! You really should consider either taking some classes or going to some singles dances. I think it's a great way to meet some new people and who knows - right? I've been doing some purging of emotions lately and it seems to be helping me. We will never "get over" what we've been through but we both know we have to keep moving forward. Keep your head up and stay in touch.

      From dbain September 30

      I understand the bouts with grief. It still overwhelms me sometimes too. Hang in there and I'm still here if you need to talk, ok?
      On a lighter note, my daughter and I are taking salsa dance lessons together! We are having a ball! It's been so good for me, for both of us! Have met some really nice people!

      Caring for 24 year old son with Muscular Dystrophy, who has only limited use of arms and hands and wheelchair bound. Wife died of Luekemia in Nov 2007, making me his primary caregiver.

    • Close Loneliness

      I became a widower last November after 31 years of marriage. I think the part I miss most is knowing there was a least one person who cared what happened to me no matter what. I feel somehow less by being unattached to another person.
