- I saw on Instagram where a recent widow had a birthday party complete with cake, balloons, etc. for her dearly departed. The grand kids released a big balloon with notes up into the sky. To me, this seems a bit over the top. I, personally,...
- I want to believe in a brighter day.I want to believe that the pain will lesson.I want to believe that my life still has purpose.I want to believe that I will laugh again.I want to believe that I will love and be loved again.I want to believe that...
- Well, it was a free lunch put on by the youth group at my church for the "platinum elite." I debated whether or not to stay, but I stayed and played their "couples" games, thinking to myself that next Valentine's Day might be different, or I might...
- Whenever I have to get up "early," like before ths sun comes up, it's always spooky, but this morning I just can't describe how weird and desolate the feeling. It almost feels like I have ice in my veins. Then the exact same routine follows. ...
- Today I accidentally came across a FB post by Sam's ex-wife. She had taken a photo of his headstone, which I had purchased for almost 2 grand in 2011. People were saying what a nice stone it was, etc., and she started gushing out all this...
- This board has become a ghost town. I was hoping to find a ray of hope on here...
- We would always go to this, every February, at the coast. I feel sad, disappointed, and yes, even angry that this is an event of the past. Most likely there will be talk about which couples are no longer there (because they are no longer a...
- I had a pretty full day and didn't get a lot of rest last night, so once in a great while I just shut everything down tight (batten down the hatches) and call it a night! I used to do this when I lived alone in the late 80's and early 90's. ...
- I woke up this morning feeling worse than when I went to bed. Of course I got up earlier than usual. Wading through the muck and the mire of grieving really zaps a person! I have been hit from all sides lately, dealing with other people's...
- After a fairly good day, I got an email from a friend in the Midwest. First she asked me what age had to do with anything. Then she very bluntly asked me who was going to take care of me when I am old! It was her ploy to persuade me to move...
- What in the cornbread world is this about? Advertisements? Scammers? I'm seeing this on random posts.
- In spite of my best efforts and intentions, cooking is a rarety in my kitchen these days. Again, they don't design tables for one. I planned to make something in the crockpot today; so after several texts, emails, and phone calls spelling and...
- This doesn't exactly fit the definition of an oxymoron but close enough. I ran across this quip this morning and thought I would share it:"We probably wouldn't worry about what people think of us, if we could know how seldom they do!"
- I don't think it is appropriate to ask a widow or widower if they bought a "plot." If they did, fine, but I didn't, and I had my reasons. This question was asked me last night. It was quite upsetting.
- Hey, what happened to Scottito anyway? Remember his thinking he was having a heart attack a month or so ago? Tonight I went through something like that. I had a lot of built up anxiety and then ate pizza. I started having severe pain and...
