It's six months since DH passed.  Seems incredible.  My life is so different from last year.  Here I sit, in a new apartment, with all new furniture.  I'm writing in front of a fireplace that...

Tony Curtis is gone.  I was such a fan of his when I was a child.  I thought he and Jack Lemmon were just the cuties actors in Hollywood. Last year around this time, my husband treated me to a...

 Okay, here it is, this is gonna sound crazy, but I'm living in an apartment with blank walls, yet everyday I see a thousand things I'd like to hang on them.  Why?  Well, the answer is...

I'm still thinking about the dream I had last night--the one where I got to see my husband pass again.  Horrible.  So today I'm thinking about death and why we live.  I know I'm here to do the...

I've often read that as a person dies they see people who have passed before them.  I've also heard and read that people who clinically die, and are later revived also report seeing relatives.  I...

Sometimes you have to go through hell in order to recognize the little bit of heaven in your life.  I lost my husband in March and in July I moved in with my dad.  That's was when I was at my...

Many of you may know that I gave my father a puppy recently.  I had it trained before giving it to him because at 82, it's his first dog and he knew nothing about training it.  I've spent a fortune...

So many times I've read about people in our group arguing about this or that.  Althought I've never been a part of it, I've spent a lifetime arguing with my father.  Then I read a book that changed...

Some of you may know that I write fanfiction.  Mostly Starsky and Hutch.  Today, I received a review from one of my stories.  I had written it a couple of years ago, and to be honest, I'd...

I'm fat and on the third floor.  Talk about incentives to lose weight.  I'd love to have 20 pounds less to carry up the stairs. When DH was alive, he would help me carry grocries upstairs.  I'd...

I was reading one of the post about flashbacks.  It got me to think about another bad day in my life and what I did to change the bad memories to good.  I had a very bad miscarrage years ago.  It...

It seems I'm getting better.  I still miss my husband but I'm doing much better than when I posted my fictional story Embracing Insanity here months ago.  I noticed that I no longer need to come to...

I found a copy of my husband's financial advisor license.  He worked so hard for it, but never even got a chance to display it in his new frame.  Becoming a financial advisor takes time.  You must...

I'm sitting in an apartment and there's nobody home.  I'm alone.  Scared.  Can't breath sometimes.  Everybody is dead: the dog, the bird, my husband.  I am alone.  I walk to the window, look...

It finally happened.  I woke up this morning with the relization that my husband desperately wanted to live.  He died of an anuerysm, one caused by high blood pressure.  He was a salt lover and I...
