    • About Me

      I'm a retired nurse with two children at home. My husband resently passed away after 37yrs of marriage. I'm having a hard time raising a teenager by myself and with this disease it doesn't make it any easier.I try to keep busy taking care of the yard, pulling weeds and planting flowers.Not much more to say except for this depression I'm in, I fight it every waking moment. Wish I could meet someone with same disease to see how they are adapting or fighting it.

      From justyouandme November 10

      Hi Sharon, I'm sure Jazzy is in a better place, but she will be so missed by those of us she left behind. My daughter is due to go into the hospital this Thurs. night and they will induce her Fri. morning. Will just miss my wedding anniversary by one day. Strange, huh? Take care, my friend. Hugs!!! Enid

      From justyouandme November 9

      Oh, Sharon, it is so hard to lose one of our own - isn't it? I think she tried so hard to be upbeat and cheerful, but she probably knew there was no hope. She was a pretty intelligent lady and knew the signs. I wonder if she had a premonition because she deleted all her journals - "Too sad" she said. I hope you are having a good day, and thanks for the funny forwards. We need a bit of a laugh, don't we? My daughter is due any day now with her first baby, so my emotions are all over the place. Hugs and prayers, Enid
