- I originally posted this story on my journal, but I thought I might as well post it here, too.Embracing InsanityBy TruhalStrange thing about insanity is that sometimes its down-right comforting. Joe Green discovered that after his wife Laura died. ...
- On my journey of widowhood, I've questioned what's going through my mind. This is a strange one, but I guess the problem with being a widow is that you go from this place of being loved and cherished and protected, to you're on your own in nothing...

- Sorry about the aneurysm post. I have no idea how it got in this group since I'm not a member. I'll see if I can delete it.

- My father is a widower. My mother passed eleven years ago. They'd been together nearly 60 years. He's still struggling to get through the days. Now my odyssey has started. My husband died less than a week ago. I've never been so meserable in...
- My mother and father raised me to believe that once the soul leaves the body there is nothing there. My mother died first, requesting no funeral, wake, or memorial be held on her behalf. She died at home so her remains were collected and I never...
- I'm posting this question here instead of on the original post because I'm not sure it would have been read.Since I can't get two ss checks, one from my husband and one for me, doesthat mean I can retire early, collecting my husband's at partial...
- I have a question about social security. My husband and I both worked. Not sure who made the most. When I reach retirement age will I collect two checks?
