- From the beginning I knew I would never have children. I just didn't want to be a mother. At the age of ten, I told my parents to have more children if they wanted to be grandparents one day. And at the age of 13, I researched my plan, going to...
- Recently I've had people tell me many times that I should remarry. Now, I'm wondering are widowers getting the same remarks, or are these remarks aimed at women because people don't think we can take care of ourselves.
- One of the first things I did as a new widow was to redecorate. My color scheme is greens and yellows, both colors that lift the mood. At the beginning I had high blood pressure. Now it's almost normal and I look forward to coming home. I'm...
- I've often heard that grief takes as long as it takes, and I find that true. For me it comes in waves. For others, it's a tsunami. Either way, grief can't be rushed. We can't help how we feel.So, saying that, I've thought of my so-called...
- We're past Christmas now. The presents have been opened and hopefully enjoyed. Now, I have a question. Yesterday I posted that I received the gift of a Christmas spirit from my husband, and it occurred to me that that is not the only gift I...
- I laugh when I think of this, but most of my life I've been somewhat like Scrooge when it comes to holiday festivities.--I never send cards, never wrap presents, rarely put up a tree. In short, my Christmas spirit left when I became an adult.That...
- I was looking over some of my journal entries, looking to see how far I've come. I guess I've made progress because my journal entries seem less dark. Anyhow, I came across this one, and read it again. Just thought I'd post it here because it's...
- Another nightmare. Many of you may know that I got my father a dog a few months back. I call myself his godmother. Anyhow, he's an 8 month old Shiba Inu, a very difficult breed to tame. Anyhow, when I got him I was warned that he's not an...
- It's that time again, the time we make New Year's resolutions. This year I'm planning to be slim. I make the same plan every year and by March, I'm back to eating as usual. This year I'm doing it in honor of my husband, so hopefully I'll stick...
- Thanksgiving and I had two invitations. I ended up staying home alone. At the time, I thought it was just me. More of my antisocial behavior. Then I thought, well, I'm sorta not feeling well. Maybe I'm coming down with something. So I ended ...
- Please pray for a member of the Widows and Widower's group. HarrysWidow posted that she wants to commit suicide. It's under Back Again After a BReak.
- It seems the states are getting more despearte to collect money. Yesterday, on the newscast, I saw a report about some states starting to ask for payment if you're in an auto accident and require help from the police or fire department. One woman...
- I live in the US. Here, we have the least amount of vacation compared to the rest of the world. I was allowed 3 days to grieve and had to go back to work. I always say that I returned to work after 3 days, but didn't arrive until 6 months later. ...
- I'm an only child. No children. I see my father at 83 and worry--is that my future. It's scary. So, I've asked God to take me before I get to that age. I just don't want to take the chance. If I had someone who would take care of me at that...
- A few days ago I took some clothing to the dry clearner for my father. I hadn't look inside the bag he put them in, so when I got there, I had an embarrassing surprise. Their where shirts in there so dirty that they should have been thrown out. ...
