About Me
I am 28 years old. I am the mother of 2 boys, a 4 yr old and a 6 yr old. My husband died a little over a year ago. The doctors said he died from AIDS and we didn't question it until it was too late. My children and I are negative and not infected. Praise God! I refuse to let this define our lives. I am living life and loving it! I might have committed suicide, but that would have meant breaking a few nails and getting dirty and well anybody who knows me, knows that would just be out of the question! Trying to do away with demons from the past, get on with my life and carry on my husband's legacy. THE BEST IS YET TO COME cuz life is oh so sweet! I met a wonderful man who is everything that I have waited for all my life. Life is sweet and I'm living the next chapter of my life!

Support Groups
Close Widows & Widowers
I am 28 yrs old and widowed. My husband died in February 2007 w/ no previous health problems. I think time has done wonders to heal me, but more than anything it has taken me a lot of reflection and patience.
Treatments
- Poetry Working / Worked
- It has really helped to get my feelings out about how much it hurts to loose that special someone.
- Psychotherapy Not Working
- This did not work and ultimately I felt like my positive nature helped me out more than anything.
Close Healthy Eating
I love food, any food. Unfortunately there are very few foods that I don't like and am always on a quest to eat healthier.
Treatments
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I have lost 25 pounds through exercising.
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- This really helped me to become more accountable for what i was eating and to get more of an idea of what's healthy and what's not.
Open Healthy Relationships
My husband died in early 2007. I have had a lot of time to on my own and now I have found a wonderful man who I adore to pieces. It is wonderful being in a healthy relationship and being with someone who respects me and cares for me. My past relationships have all been unhealthy to some degree and I am working on learning to function in a healthy relationship.
Treatments
- Patience Working / Worked
- I am trying to give myself time to become accustomed to being in a good relationship.
- Talking Working / Worked
- It is wonderful being with someone who shares a need for excellent communication. I love listening to him and hearing him out and I love that I can talk to him about anything and not feeling like I have to sugarcoat things or hide things from him.
- Writing Working / Worked
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
I lived with my husband for 6 years until his death in Feb of 2007. I loved him, but he was very verbally and emotionally abusive. After his death, I realized how little self-esteem I had left and how much he had damaged me emotionally.
Treatments
- Forgiveness Working / Worked
- I have forgiven him because he's dead and there's nothing I can do. I haven't forgotten though because I don't ever want to end up in a relationship like this again.
- Talking Working / Worked
- Always helps to talk to others who can relate or can offer support and rmind me that i did the best I could.
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
I'm 28 and have had problems w/ my weight ever since I can remember. I've never been stick thin and at this point I doubt I ever will be. My goal is to get to an ideal weight and create healthy eating and exercise habits.
Treatments
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- I'm a junk and fast food junkie so this is really difficult for me, but what can i say, it works when i stick to it.
- Eat Less Working / Worked
- This has helped me stick w/ eating healthy and not feeling deprived. I try to still have most of my fave foods, just les of them.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- As long as I exercise regularly I'm able to be a bit more lenient on the food. Excersie is also a great stress reliever and I don't feel quite so anxious all the time about what I'm putting into my mouth.
- Slim-Fast Not Working
- I'm still hungry.
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- It really helped me to gain a realistic idea of what I actually eat and what I should be eating. Gave me accountability.
Open Financial Challenges
I am widowed mother of 2 young boys. I had previously gained control of my spending, but my husband's death has thrown me for a loop. I would like to gain control of my spending once again.
Open Fitness Goals
Type: Compete in a raceI have started walking and am gradually gravitating towards jogging. I love it and it gives me such a great feeling. Eventually I would love to be able to run a marathon.
Open Single Parenting
My husband died a year ago and am now the single parent to 4 & 5 yr old boys. It's crazy at times, but in a sense I feel like their dad always helped me out so little with thme that I've been a single mom since they were born.
Open Breakups & Divorce
My husband died last year, but when he was alive it was certainly not easy being his wife. He was controlling, mentally and verbally abusive and if he hadn't died, I was actually planning on leaving him soon.
Treatments
- Love Working / Worked
- Have learned to love myself and put myself first
- Music Working / Worked
- Music has been such a release for all sorts of emotions that I faced this past year.
- Poetry Working / Worked
- It feels good to write about all the problems that plagued us. It's so expressive and has just helped me vent and be creative at the same time.
- Talking Working / Worked
- I talk to anybody that will listen and I'm not shy about admitting that things weren't picture perfect even before his death.
- Time Working / Worked
- Time really does heal all wounds.
Open Eating Disorders
Type: BulimiaI have suffered from Bulimia on and off since my early teen years. It has never lasted as long as it currently has and I am beginning to think that it's my mom's controlling ways that push me into this.
Open Family Issues
I am a 29 yr old widowed mother of 2, tryign to find her place in life and to get on with her life. Having trouble breaking free of controlling parents.
