- Today was my Joe's birthday, January 9. Family and friends always celebrated even if just a "Happy birthday, Joe" at work or a phone call. Today, no one called or came by. Not even my daughter or son. I have been lying in bed sick with constant...

- You know how it is every year - your want to give your little ones something Santa will bring them that they will just LOVE. Well, every year we went through Christmas Eves putting together wagons, tricycles, bicycles, etc. The WORST decision we...
- It was one year ago today that I lost my Joe. People told me that the days and weeks leading up to the one year mark would be filled with more anguish than the actual day. They were right. Yesterday I went to the cemetary, spoke my words to Joe...
- Yesterday, with the extrememly cold temps, I decided I needed to give Joe's jackets to charity for those who are really cold. Joe had a zillion jackets, one for every imaginable situation. As I took each one off its hanger, I checked the pockets...
- It is approaching one year for me and the saddest thing for me still is driving home alone from town to my home in the country. I can be feeling fairly OK while I am in town tending to whatever errands I have, but when I turn my vehicle back toward...
- I just want to thank Joeinaz for originating this select group. I want to thank all the contributors as well. This site is quite different from the main group and faith is our strongest help in times of trouble. So every post here goes deeper...
- Everyone, please log on to libbyallensongs.com and click on her song titled "Don't Cry For Me". It is amazingly healing. Libby is a friend of mine and is writing and producing her own spiritual music. She charges nothing for CD's of her music. ...
- I get really angry when people talk about how you can find another man and be happy again. They say the marriage is over when the spouse dies. The relationship is ended. You are no longer married. When you continue to wear your wedding rings,...
- My husband's children were estranged through many years following the divorce from their mother. During the marriage, he worked for her father's business and lived in their state where he had no family of his own origin. Due to the divorce, Joe...
- Today when riding home from church with my son, DIL, and 4-yr. old grandson, we passed by a Colonel Sanders Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. My grandson all of a sudden said, "Look - there's Grandpa Joe!" I asked where he was and my grandson...
- I want to thank you all for your positive input when I posted about wanting to see Joe's family in Virginia (I live in Florida). It was 10 months since Joe died. I was really torn to pieces about going, thinking I would fall to pieces since that...
- Dec. 18 will be the first anniversary of Joe's death. I have made it through all the other important days - first birthday (his), first birthday (mine),anniversary, Easter, etc. The only day I am dreading is the day of his death. I am petrified...
- How many times have I heard that saying? It really came home to me when Joe died. He had wanted to be buried in the family cemetary back home in another state. However, there was a family inheritance problem involving several siblings and the...
- You guys have helped me so much in encouragement to go to Virginia (from Florida) to visit Joe's beloved, large, Christian family. I haven't seen them since he died December 18. I was fearful of the emotions I would feel, going back alone. ...
