- Hi, everyone. I'm back. I'm still a widow. I ended the marriage I had gotten in to a year ago. I'm not sad or unhappy, just sorry that we had to go our separate ways. We were not suited at all in our lifestyle. We thought that since we were...
- After almost 4 years of widowhood, I'm now married again, to a widower. He is wonderful to me and I make him happy, too. We talk of our deceased spouses easily and we cry together and hold each other. It is so comforting. We are trying to make a...
- Hello, everyone. I've been offline for a few weeks as I was involved in a new relationship that has turned into marriage. Yes, ME, the confirmed single widow who said she would NEVER remarry was swept off my feet by a wonderful man who is a...
- Well, I am surprised at the turn my life has taken, here at 3 years, 8 months. I am "seeing" a widower who is a member of my church. I met him a year ago at a grief group our church put together for persons with recent losses. Nothing happened...
- I live on almost 3 acres, wooded, farm country. Yesterday I was mowing around the property (with a push mower this time). It was cloudy like rain was imminent, but I wanted to mow because the place has gotten very scraggly with weeks of rain and I...
- Did anyone see the 60 Minutes show on CBS last night where Maggie Smith, the famous British actress who plays on the wildly popular Downton Abbey was interviewed about her life. She's up there around 80 I believe. When asked what life was like...
- We have a small grief support group at our church which has been wonderful. We eat out together once a month and usually we laugh a lot and only touch on our sadness a little bit. It has been almost a year since we first organized.One of the men...
- After Joe died, I needed to rewrite my will because I had named him as beneficiary of all my estate.My children do not get along and my daughter does not get along with me (nor I her). She and I have had difficulties for 20 years and it's not...
- This is just a courteous request concerning the titles of our topics. I often return to a topic more than once to read. So many topics don't tell me what the message was about and I end up clicking on a few until I find the one I was wanting to...
- I don't really like Mother's Day (for me) because I don't have happy memories of that day throughout my life. At times I haven't even received a card from my kids. It seems to be a hassle for them so the joy is not there when I think they'd much...
- Hi, everybody. I hope you all had a day with someone you love. For me,I was all alone all day. The loneliness got to me. I actually went to bed this afternoon hoping to sleep off the hours just to get rid of them.My son and family were busy with...
- During my 3 years of grief, I have had a difficult time getting to sleep. I started taking all kinds of recommended supplements and even a couple different prescriptions from the doctor, not all at once, but progressing to a new avenue when the...
- I've been in significant pain for almost a year now. I am hoping to have both knees replaced as soon as possible, but the insurance won't cover it until it is bone on bone.So, I have a significant period of time that I can count on having to wear...
- Yesterday I had cause to attend a social function at the church where Joe and I were active members for years. I saw people I had not seen in the 3 years since Joe died.When they asked the usual,"How are you?" with a great big smile on their face,...
- I have an estranged daughter aged 43. We have not had a whole lot of contact over the years of her marriage (20 yrs) which includes her having 2 kids. All her adult life she has had financial troubles and I have always come to the rescue for her....
