I'm just not sure how much longer I can go on like this. I am hoping w/ changing afew of the Medication(s) I won't be so Severely Depressed & Suicidal. I talked to my Doctor today, we changed some of the Meds & then he also shared that he "understood" what I was going thru ...as has been thru that himself. I haven't been able to work since Aug 1rst, moved back to Oregon, lost my Ford Explorer so Bus is only means of transportation. My youngest Daughter said I was her Children's Grandma but that was as far as our relationship was/would ever go. How hard she had to pretend all these yrs she cared. She sure cared tho when the kids needed something -or- the next baby came along, Now...waiting past 6 mo for Med, SSI, Sec-8 etc...have to stay w/ someone. Hope I can get into my own place SOON, Isolation is fine w/ me & the sooner the better, My Daughter here...she has a free Babysitter.

Thanks Malia...It feels good to be back on this site. My little Sister was on here before & I know she got so much help & support. I was on here briefly & then moved. YES...I do so much better when I live by MYSELF w/ my kitty...like to see the grandchildren on weekends but would rather be left ALONE most of the time. Most people "pretend" to care -or- to be your so called Friend. I remember people on here...truely cared. Thanks!

Sorry to here things are so rough right now for you. I kind of know what you are going thru as I am waiting on things to happen as well. It is the waiting that is so hard. Hang in there. That is all we can do is keep hanging on and to know that this is not the end just a bump in the road.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
