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.
Ok, I do feel like another symptom of this grief journey is the widow/widower brain syndrome. Just for laughs, what are the strangest things you have done?
I'll start (these are just a few).
Couldn't find my reading glasses. Looked everywhere. They were on my head, both pair.
Bought instant potatoes, had two full boxes at home already and have only cooked about 3 times in nearly six months.
Was doing laundry: forgot to put the clothes in the washer.
Also forgot several times to put clothes in the dryer, re-washed several times over several days.
Heading somewhere and drive right by, this is at least a weekly occurance.
Fell asleep on the couch, didn't know if it was a.m or p.m. when I woke up.
I know the saga of Scott thinking he has to iron shirts. Just wanting to know if I am certifiable yet or not!! lol
Hugs and Love, Michele

Went to the bathroom to get a bowl. Realized these are in the KITCHEN.
Went to the basement to put the cover on the barbecue. Um, that's in the BACKYARD.
Driving home, I've driven past not one, but 2 opportunities to turn
Write rent check, put in envelope, wrote landlord's name on it, knew I had to put it in the my mailbox for them to pick up. I put it in my purse and took it with my on my outing. In my head, it was in the mailbox.
Like bookdragon, I'm always double checking everything I do. Sometimes triple checking. And I really have to repeat steps in my head.
I need to start laughing at myself when I do this stuff.

I'll probably forget where I put those lentils
I did also drive to the cemetery with the handbrake on, got out of the car and couldn't figure out what that burning smell was.....
Check to the dog though, that one got me! :)
