What to do now
I feel lost...I don't know what to do with my time..My husband had cancer and we were always going places for one thing or another..drs..chemo...surgeries. tests..etc...now I just sit most of the time..I make a goal and don't follow thru...I went on a trip to see my brother...It's was nice but I didn't feel any better..All the people who say if you need anything at the funeral ...don't call...everyone has their own lives to live..I have a garage full of stuff a classic car to sell...I am stuck...My husband did so many things I have no idea what to do.. It will be a year in April...I still feel married...I miss my husband..Will I always feel this way...My kids don't really understand what I am going thru...We were married 37 yrs..he was their stepfather...I don't feel any empathy from them and that adds to my struggle...When someone asks how are you...I say ok.. What else can you say...

I find some days I get nothing done. I try to do at least one thing beyond the usual routine each day. Most days I can accomplish the one thing, but not always. I think we will always miss our spouses, but at the same I hope to experience joy again like so many others have reported. I hope you can experience joy again. Your journal post is now going to help me get off the couch. Thanks.
Rick..thanks for caring....do you ever feel like your only half living in the present? I am going to challenge myself....to do something that's not so mondane...I did go to the cemetery y today...I am happy around my 2 little grandkids...I hope you experience joy again..It will be a different joy...But the way you speak of your precious wife...she would want that for you..I know I would for my husband....Let me know when you do something different for yourself...
