- Okay, I am at the l year and 8 months mark. I just got home from a three week vacation. I went back to where I came from before I married my husband in 2011, to try to sort things out. This last year and a half has been very, very tough, and I...
- Someone has ruined my Happy Day by blocking me on Instagram. I was "following" a man, someone across the country whom I don't know personally. It was innocent; I just thought he was nice looking and funny - a good Christian man. I woke up in...
- You know, it should be allowable to change our user names at some point. I am ready to lift the "veil" just a little and peek out at the world, but I feel stuck. Not sure what I would call myself though. Just saying...can we do this?
- Well, I made it through the day. My son came over and cooked some steaks, but then he had to go to work. I guess all the big fireworks happened at the air museum. No one invited the widow, so I just went to 76 and watched a few there. I...
- Just curious as to what others think about age difference, whether younger or older, in a mate. I am thinking five years either direction is a safe place. It seems I find myself attracted to men who are way too young, and I could never see that...
- This is taken from a blog by Ashley Coverstone. I thought it could apply to us, as well as to her situation, which is a little different than ours. May 24, 2018Have you ever read the article "Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning" by Mario...
- I don't know what it is about being a widow that makes it hard to communicate with people. I try to explain things so carefully, and maybe ask the second time for clarification. More times than not there is a misunderstanding of some sort. ...
- Hey, if anyone is on here and knows how to get this smoke detector to quit sounding off, I am going crazy! It started making noise about 4 this morning, so no sleep! I changed the battery, and it is still chirping. Help.......what to do?
- I am puzzled as to why a guy who helped me move some stuff from my storage unit is upset because I asked a couple other guys to help him get the final load. He told me he could fit it all in his little truck, which he can't. He said there was no...
- Talk about cold! I just went to my credit union a few days ago and took a DC. trying to get his name off the accounts. I also let them know I had moved. Today in the mail I get something from them addressed to HIM confirming an address...
- I changed my mind and went to the graduation last night. A pastor from another church was the guest speaker. He spoke about circles. He asked each graduate to draw a perfect circle, and as hard as they tried, they could not. Then he gave each of...
- I have noticed that it is hard, as a widow, to find a slot when you need something done. It seems I always have to work around everyone else's schedules, even when I pay someone to do a job. Even my vacation was planned around others'...
- How did I KNOW that I would be here at the house alone today? I just knew. No one ever invites the widow to their social gatherings. It just doesn't happen. Yes, I am having a pity party of sorts. So I have to decide what to do with...
- I am not too fond of this holiday. You think of holidays as celebrations; should I celebrate being a widow?? I do honor both my late husbands for their military service, but I don't want to go see their names set in stone over mounds of dirt. ...
- I have been avoiding this emotion for some time, but today...today it visited me and kept me company. I have felt angry. I was angry cleaning my pedestal fans, thinking that if I had air conditioning as I'm used to, I wouldn't have had to do...
