4 1/2 months
I am scared that I am heading for a major break. I have gone 2 weeks without crying and breaking down. I got a part time job to help with ss. I don't like but it is the reasonable thing to do. I find that it is much harder to concentrate than I thought it would be. My lawn mower has also died on me. My son-in-law has worked on it numerous times along with other things on this farm. I am so tired of having to budget because I don't know what will happen in the future so I went out and bought a new mower. I will just have to worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. I have been relying on my daughter and son-in-law so much that it is showing on them. They don't complain at all but the stress shows. I have lived here for 39 years and they don't want me to move. I don't want to either but I don't know how much longer it will be reasonable to live here. The loneliness is killing me. Ron and I were loners. We loved the solitude we had here. Now it is killing me. I work. I go to church. I go to my granddaughter's ball games. I go to grief consoling. What else am I supposed to do get back into being normal! It is just not working. I am more truly scared now than at the beginning.

I think it is harder when our main source of console was our spouse. My partner in crime is gone, so to speak. Plus our age and the feeling of \" is there anyone else that will ever understand me? as he?\" The other day on my FB page I posted the song \"I NEED A HERO\" , crickets. So I pet my dog a little longer, share with him the pork loin I made 2 of without thinking and sit with DS to to ease my lonesomeness. Next the sketchbook.
I am so sorry for your pain. I care, I understand, and I send you hugs. Sharon
