- I don't know what it is about this holiday season that is causing some people to behave as animals. As a widow, and especially as a handicapped widow, I feel like I am in the direct line of fire. I have had to block two people on my phone within...
- I saw this and had to share. It is so good.A dream written down becomes a GOAL. A goal broken down into steps becomes a PLAN.A plan backed by ACTION becomes REALITY.
- I just read what someone wrote on Soaring Spirits about not wanting another relationship because people thought we widows carried baggage. I personally don't think we can sterotype that. It too much implies that we have a disease that is...
- Just wanted to try to keep this board alive. I want to address the holiday season. I am not worried about it. Let it come; let it go. I just had a 6 3/4 inch plate removed from my arm and hand. That is enough to deal with for now. I tried,...
- Yesterday they pulled out the 7 inch plate from my arm. I feel like I have been gutted. Someone took me to the hospital yesterday morning, then left to take her dog to the vet. I didn't ask her if she dropped him off as well LOL. But I can't...
- Yay! I'm prepping. Tuesday morning they take the plate out of my arm/hand. It will have been 11 weeks it's been in. The x-rays look great, even though I didn't make it out the hospital door with my copies. My main concern now is not being...
- I just wanted to share how someone last night asked me if I was getting the help I needed to go the store, etc., since my recent surgery. She spent about twenty minutes trying to explain why people in general don't reach out to people in need (in...
- No, I haven't met anyone, but I am still looking forward to making some positive changes for myself next year. I am thinking very seriously about relocating, maybe even buying a house. If some nice man happens along, we'll see if he qualifies or...
- I decided to pre-qualify for a VA Home Loan, and everything looks doable. I just don't know if it's wise right now. I'm not sure where I'm going, or when - only that I want to relocate. Would this be too much responsibility for a widow who is...
- I just wanted to let everyone know that i fell and broke my right wrist, and it did require surgery. Grief on top of grief...if you are a praying person, I would appreciate your prayers.
- It's weird, but it seems like things here at the house have gotten much too quiet since school started and Fall is here. We are having a revival at my church, and this week services were scheduled from Thursday night til Sunday night. I had a...
- Well, my youngest son and his fiance have decided to move their wedding date up to December 13. This just happens to be the day I became a widow. So she tells me that it was her parents' wedding anniversary, and she wants to "honor" them. Her...
- I have been on here less and less. Lord knows I am trying hard to create another good life for myself. Some of what I am doing is out of necessity. For example, I came back from my vacation with a much emptier purse, so I am working on a budget...
- I have started walking in the evenings. The muscles in my legs seem to have been exiting - where to, I don't know. Grief has aged me. I am at a loss as to what to do with my life. I am reminded of the series "The Walk" by Richard Paul...
- In this stage of my life, I am wondering why men cannot seem to establish friendships with women first before going into a serious relationship. Seems like that would be the way to go. You could get to know each other without the pressures. I...
