Difficult Times
Went to the Social Meeting for the Primetimer's Club last night. Think I will join out of the sheer need to get involved with something new! Very nice people at the meeting. There is a snowshoe trip early January I may sign up for. I will have had my cast off for 3 weeks by then. If I can't snowshoe I can sit by the fire in the lodge and cuddle up with a hot drink.
It is so very difficult being somewhere without my husband. I can't believe how after 6 months I still feel like part of my body is missing. I guess it is still early in this process. It just seems as though I will never feel whole again.
I will be sooooo glad when the holiday season is over. I put a couple Christmas decorations out, but can't do any more. I just don't have the enthusiasm and it makes me cry just thinking about it.

Good for you! Meeting new people and doing new things - a step in the right direction. If \"feeling whole again\" means feeling like you did when you were half a couple -- I\'m not sure this will happen. I am now going places with our church group, going out to eat with the \"supper club\" we were part of, and making decisions about the house etc. I think I have reached the stage of \"acceptance\" of life as it is today. I miss him very much, and always will, but don\'t have the searing pain that I once did. The holidays are hard for everyone who has suffered a loss; and we miss our loved ones in their place at our table. May God bless you,and all of us, as we make our way through December and meet the new year with His help.

Lindanne,
Good for you! I have snowshoed and loved it. it is great exercise and of course if your foot can\'t take it yet a cozy lodge and hot drink is wonderful too. I know what you mean about feeling like a half a person without our husbands - but getting out and meeting new people is a step in the right direction.
Blessings,
Linda
snowshoeing is very enjoyable and theraputic to be in the great outdoors. just being around people is always good.
i have yet to do a drop of decorating for the holidays, i have to push myself this weekend !!! if they could figure out how to inject novacane into your heart i might just get a bit more done!
hugs

Being a warm weather person the part about the warm drink next to a fire sounds good to me. The getting out and meeting new people sounds even better. Wish the holidays were just over.....it\'s hard to get into the spirit of the season this year.
