- Figure I'll post something to this site. Thanks, Bill for inviting me. Anyhow, my project for this week is putting together my new Sonic Duo. I hate reading directions, but I'm going to do it by Sunday. Monday I start a new job and know I'll...
- I woke up this morning to find an ice rink on my front steps and huge ice hanging from the roof, right over my head as I exit my door. I haven't a clue what to do. They're too high to reach and who knows when my association will get back to me. I...
- Hadn't laughed in a long time, but some of the commercials on Superbowl were really funny. Here's my favorite.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl0zw1YVZd4
- I'm trying to figure out if this is a dementia sign and if anyone else is getting this same reaction from their loved ones. My dad, 86 and undiagnosed has always been a strange bird, but lately he's come up with some stuff that making me wonder if...
- Just sitting here, happily enjoying some music, when a song started that brought me back to my husband's birthday. He was six years and some months older than me. I used to enjoy teasing him that it looked like a seven year difference for only a...
- There's a widow on this very popular British series called Downton Abbey. She said something that I'd been thinking for the entire time since I lost my husband. The widow said that her husband had changed her. That she'd been a strong woman...
- It's another sad part of our lives, but social security questions abound for new widows/widowers. Just read an interesting article about it and thought I'd pass it along. The author could have done a better job of describing the deceased spouse,...
- Dealing with someone with dementia/other mental illness is so hard. People go to school for this. Yet, here I am dealing with this completely lost. Dad's mental problem isn't just dementia. He's always been mentally ill. But in the past he...
- Am I alone in this? Seeing Dad decline has made me fear for my own future. I'm an only child. No children, although I have a step-daughter?Any tips for someone like me who prays daily not to live into my 80s?
- It's been two weeks since I adopted my rescue dog. Funny, I'd wanted a dog for so long, but after my husband passed, I feared what would happen to the dog if something happened to me. I don't mean something tragic like death, but short-term...
- Went to my father's house today and found he didn't have food. I asked for his grocery list to purchase food for him. No. He didn't want to do it. Said to stay out of his business and physically grabbed me. I called his psychologist and told...
- I got a rescue dog this weekend. It was a good choice as she's a good girl. Just needs help with housebreaking. Strange thing about this widow journey--it seems to be a journey that never ends with plenty of twist and turns. I'm now in one of...
- My husband has been gone nearly 4 years. In all that time I've lived alone with just my bird, but desperately wanted a dog. I was so afraid to get one because I feared who would take care of her if something happens to me. My step-daughter has...
- I'm new to this and have a question. Are any of you dealing with physical violence from your loved one?
- I'm here, but not sure if I should be in the group for mental illness. Here's my story:My dad has always been a difficult person, prone to superstition and beliefs that people are out to get him. He's been violent in the past, pulling guns on both...
