- To those who have spoken to the use of the initials DH (dear husband) & DW (dear wife), I understand your feelings about using the names of our spouses. I, too, want to speak and hear my husband's name. In the presence of friends and family, his...
- OK this is probably a silly question, but what the heck I'll ask it anyhow. I'm in the mood to swap a little lighthearted chitchat. While we sit in our living rooms evening after evening, are there certain comfort foods that become your "reward"...
- Mgould's post on Friends??? prompted my topic. This subject always hits a raw nerve with me. When my only sibling (a brother) died suddenly, my DH and I did everything we could to help my SIL. We helped when she needed extensive work done on a...
- Now that most things are completed on the house that we moved into before it was completely finished, I am struggling with the house/home issue. My husband died a few months after we moved, so there were several things for which I had to hire...
- Last night the tapes of our life together re-ran in my mind with vivid clarity. What prompted this memory fest? I attended a Girl Scout function of one of our granddaughters at, would you believe, the high school where my DH and I spent our dating...
- This post was inspired by the questions mentioned in JFerrante's discussion topic. Thanks for that thought-provoking post.Death is an enigma until it touches us intimately. If it hasn't touched us personally, we tend to give it a cursory nod and...

- Well, here I am ready to start my day and "ZAP," it happened!!! I'm exhilarated, inspired; smiling just for the heck of it. I opened my computer to see how my friends on DS were doing; and lo and behold, my spirit soared as I read about "bull...
- The thread "I'm Back" written by "soulmates" sort of answers a question that has been nagging me for a while. My husband died over four years ago. I discovered Daily Strength on Bing one evening when surfing the Web. I thought perhaps I shouldn't...
- I was thinking the other day that my hubby would forever be 62 years old, never to age another day. I lost him when I was 59 and he was 62; I am now 64. I will grow older, change in looks, become more frail (if I live long enough); however, he...
- Our different experiences during the immediate days following the death of our loved ones make indelible impressions upon us and make a huge difference in how we face the future. Would you be willing to share how family, friends, neighbors, or your...
- Thought I would ask how many of you dream of your spouse frequently or infrequently? If so, is it a painful experience or do you embrace it? From almost the very beginning, I had vivid dreams about my husband. I began to look forward to those...
- There are so many great topics, and it helps so much to see the varying opinions and solutions. So can you all help with this one? I was wondering how you have handled wearing, continuing to wear, or removing your wedding band/engagement ring. ...
- What encouragement you all show to one another. I have been following the discussions for about a month and have been amazed at the care displayed in each and every discussion. Thank you for the compassion and many words of wisdom shared. I have...
