What tools do you use?

I just started going through some very old stuff and found a box of disposable scalpels that I had laying around forever. Normally I use my pocket knife but I'm wondering if this is a better way to go to help keep scaring to a minimum. Well anyway I just thought I would share that thought with the rest of you. Urges are really strong this morning so I may have to test that theory. I hope everyone is doing well today.

No it doesn't help at all... That is one tool I used and those are the scars that pop out the most. And please don't test the theory; I have proven it for you! But I hope you don't and have a good day. Everythings going to be ok

Please dont try it and talk to your mom like you did yesterday!
I know your mom doesnt want you hurting yourself and I know I dont so please try your hardest not to.
I am here for you

Thanks I am still fighting the urge. Instead I tried to do something constructful by writing a poem and I posted it in my journal if you would like to read it.

    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...
