- Another tough day at work today. I'm in sales. Desperation all around me as people lose homes, jobs, etc. Everybody is scared which got me to thinking: Which is worse? The Great Depression or the Recession we're in now?There are not many of us...
- Okay. I've become obsessive. I keep thinking about how I come home everyday, but nobody would know if I didn't. Is this crazy?Today, I went to visit my stepdaughter and her family. I drove home. It's a long way. Lots of rural stuff along the...
- Ever see that movie Carnival of Souls? It's excellent and positively creepy. It's scares me still. In it, a woman almost dies and finds herself transported, at the oddest moments, between the land of the living and the dead. When this happens,...
- My husband passed March 31, 2010, so this is my year of first. And yet, I find myself thinking more of the 'lasts' instead of the 'first.' Sometimes, I find myself straining to remember our last dinner together, or the last movie, the last time he...
- Another day, but no dollar. I'm in sales, and the recession has finally hit big time. Days of working and nothing earned. It's a first for me. In the past, if this had happened, I'd have at least been able to rely on DH. But now, there's just...
- I wrote a journal today on need vs want. In it, I explained what both words mean to me, and how I've re-discovered my independence. I was so confident, knowing that I'm capable of taking care of myself, even hauling tons of groceries upstairs by...
- I saw Ryan O'Neal yesterday on Oprah. She asked him how it is for him since his beloved Farrah passed a year ago. He let her know that it hadn't gotten any easier. So sad, but so true of most of us here. It's been 6 months for me, but I know...
- I love to read, but have noticed I haven't found a book about a woman dealing with widowhood. Plenty on divorce however, so I decided to do some searching on my own and this is what I've found so far. Thought I would share them with you. I...
- Lots of things happen in our lives on a day to day basis. Things I would love to share with my husband--things I would have told him. Here's my list.I would have told my husband that I he has a lovely daughter and that he raised her well. I would...
- My husband passed away March 31, 2010. My health insurance ended March 31, 2010. Hard to believe, isn't it? I contacted HR at the company he worked for and they informed me that my health insurance would run through the end of April. So I went...
- My husband had a brain aneurysm. I spent 3 years in nursing school so I had a clear idea of what to expect. He could come back with a different personality. He could end up blind, unable to walk, unable to remember that he loved me. He could...
- Seems like in the past, people accepted that women were widowed and never remarried if they were of a certain age. For example, a woman widowed in her twenties or thirties, especially if they had young children, were almost expected to remarry. ...
- Last night I dreamt that I watched my husband die all over again. It was strange, my family was there and we prayed just like we did on that fateful day. The only difference was that we were in a dark room that looked like a bedroom and I could...
- I just found out my cousin passed. He was only 53. We hadn't spoken in years, but as children we were very close. Now, all those memories are coming back. They were such good times. I've lost cousins before, but this time it really makes me...
- I'm finally settled into my new apartment. I'm on the 3rd floor with no elevator so it's definetly making me diet. I bought a stairclimber shopping cart to make it easier carrying groceries. The thing sort of climbs the stairs and I can get about...
