Its been 4 months and its affecting my sleep.
It has been 4 months since I lost my beloved love of my life Smokey. The last couple nights, I have not slept very well. Last night I went to bed at 11 p.m. and finally managed to fall asleep at 1 a.m. I got out of bed at 9 a.m. It is late for me as I usually am an early bird. I miss Smokey so much. Life doesn't seem to be worth living for me without Smokey in my life. Each day I wake up and say to myself "You are alive." At times I wish I never woke up anymore. My friend Carol and I go to church every other week. We are trying out new churches in our area. We found two that we like. I was going to Broadmoor Baptist Church for 21 years but am seeking other places to worship. I emailed Pastor Tom Mai that I lost my husband and he just offered me e-mail condolences. You don't expect that from a Pastor. My brother Don said Pastor Tom lost he sister around the same time. I can understand it but he should have said something to me as well like he shares in the loss of a loved one or something to that effect. He never said a word to me. Communication is very important in every area of our lives. I might go back eventually but along with a couple of other churches around to give me some variety. It is nice to see how other people worship the Lord as well. I am looking for work and have done quite a few on-line registries. I do emails every day of job openings. It doesn't seem to be working too well. My daughter Lisa said try the white pages. It is straining on the eyes but I will give it a try as well. Desperate times calls for desperate measures. My friend Carol is also looking for work in the same line as a receptionist. My brother Don is looking for work as well as anything like janitorial, construction help, security guard or kitchen dishwasher. It is peculiar how the grief is hitting me after 4 months. I have stretches where I almost feel normal but then it hits me big time like a tonne of bricks very unexpected. It's where I am at the moment. How have those of you dealt with this when it has 4 months? Today would mark it 4 months of my loss of Smokey. I would like to know. My heart is heavy with sadness of the soul and spirit. I don't feel like looking for work now so I am going to stop it for today. Grief wins out. Sigh! I am going to cry so good bye for now!
