Widows & Widowers Support Group
This community is dedicated to those who have lost a husband, wife, or partner. Anything is open for discussion here, with the hope that we can focus on grief, bereavement, life after loss, and continuing on after a great loss.
Hello;
I've been reading different support groups for the past few months, but decided to join this group last night.
My wonderful husband Mark, passed away on March 16th, 2013 of heart failure in the ER .. you see he was at his dialysis treatment, (he was on dialysis for the past 5 years ) and became unresponsive during the treatment, and cpr was started. I dropped him off for his appointment at 3:30 in the afternoon, kissed him goodbye, told him I loved him, and would be back @ 8:00 pm to pick him up,never once thinking that I would never hear his sweet voice again.
Instead of picking him up and bringing him home with me, I was sent to the ER to find that he had passed away at 8:04 pm. When I walkeed into the room where he was, I looked at the clock on the wall, and it was 8:15pm.
Mark & I together had dealt with many medical conditions thru our lifetime of 17 years together..., married for 15 of those years
he had a stroke at age 40, and fully re-covered from that, colon cancer, where a 10 in.peice of intestine was removed, cancer free after that, kidney disese was diagonised when we were first married and he didn't have to indure dialysis treatments until 5 years ago. Acute COPD requiring oxeygen 24/7 for the past 2 years, episodes of a-fib requiring more medications and trips to the ER.. no one should ever have to go thru all that he had gone thru.. my wonderful "sweetpea is at peace now, and all his pain is gone.
I can't type any longer.. the tears are really flowing, but I'll be back soon .

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
