- My house is very neat. Everything has it's place, yet, a week ago I lost my favorite pair of glasses. Since I can't afford new ones, this was a huge problem for me. I looked everywhere: bedroom, den, even the closets. Nothing. Then yesterday I...
- I'm having a hard time lately due to what's going on with my father. He said something very hurtful the other day, words that remind me of how the bible warns us of the dangers of the tongue. He can't take the words back, but they haunt me. ...
- This is strange. It seems my life is centered in the present. What I mean is that lately I've had problems remembering what it felt like before my husband passed. Work, for example, I had to ask someone if October was a slow month for sales? ...
- The posting feature seems to be working now, so I'm posting my message from yesterday. I'm new to this group. I have an 82 year old father that has mental issues. I'm recently widowed so I moved in with dad to help him financially. That lasted less...
- I'm new to the group and posted something here yesterday. It still hasn't shown up.
- I'm new to this group. I have an 82 year old father that has mental issues. I'm recently widowed so I moved in with dad to help him financially. That lasted less than two months, his cruelty took my breath away and I found myself battling...
- Years ago, my Mother told me that she prayed to God to never let her live with a disability. "If I can't take care of myself," she used to say, "Then I'm ready to go home to God." I was shocked when she told me this. I wanted her to live no...
- DH and I loved films about time travel. We used to say that they hadn't made one that we didn't like. I was thinking about this the other day when I read a story on the web about what looked like a cell phone in an old Charlie Chaplin movie from...
- Yesterday on the newscast, a reporter mentioned that companies hate increasing the price on products so they shrink the size a little, while leaving it in the same size box. It's happened to cereal and icecream. DH noticed he no longer got a half...
- I just wanted to say how much I love this new group. I hadn't realized it before, but in the general group I was always afraid of causing people pain. For example, if someone just lost a husband, I wouldn't say he was in Heaven because I had no...
- I just hauled a 32 inch television up to the 3rd floor. Feeling pretty good about it. Then it started. I've been feeling faint. So it's not a good idea to do this on your own. Next time, I'll have large items delivered, no matter how easy it...
- I answer the phone. It's my husband calling to tell me he is sick. I tell him to go to the emergency room. I meet him there less than an hour later. He was complaining of stomach problems, saying that it is probably that ulcer kicking in again. ...
- Up and down, that's how my moods have been going. But then I discovered something about myself when I was feeling good: deep down inside, I want to feel bad. I don't want to feel good because that would mean that I don't miss my husband. It was...
- Watch the stress. It's a life destroyer. Two months ago I was on blood pressure medication for the first time in my life. I'd been handling the stress of losing my husband somewhat, but I'd moved in with my dad and the blood pressure medication...
- I wrote this back when my husband first passed. Back then the pain was raw and new. I just read it again and thought I'd post it here on our new group.Embracing InsanityBy Tru AKA M. WillowStrange thing about insanity is that sometimes itâs...
