- Grrrrrrrr!!!!!!! That's about all I can say!She is negative. Loud. Insecure. Demanding. (Sounds like a 2 yr old, I know)I need to remember to take breaks from parenting. I am human, not Winder Woman. I don't want to hurt her but that's what happens...
- I've given myself permission to move forward, live and enjoy each moment, as well as take the time needed to grieve. Some things just have to be dealt with in their time. Part of my new living is the excitement of dating. I am excited about it. I am...
- I was fortunate to speak to a very solid Christian woman who lost her husband 30 years ago, last night. I asked if the sadness ever goes away. She said that she still thinks about her late husband at least once a day. She still has quiet moments....
- Last night, at 7:30, I discovered that my battery was dead. That's ok, I have "his truck". This morning, I started his truck and started scraping 4 inches if ice off the windshield. As I am scraping, I notice my outside AC unit is making a funny...
- A couple of nights ago, my 21 yr old son decided to spend some time with me. We talked and laughed. I drank too much wine. While visiting with him, I kept catching glimpses of my late husband. His humor, his insight, his understanding, his noble...
- The day after Thanksgiving, I sent an email to MIL telling her about guy in Germany. And his son. I told my best friend who gave me a dirty look. She told me I shouldn't have told her. Not because it might hurt her. Not because she needs to grieve...
- I have a question. A little background. I am 41. Widow since March 24. Tried online dating for a second, around June. Met a widower from another forum September 3, after deciding I would wait until the 6 month mark for dating. Seriously, that messed...
- Do you think Patsy Cline was a widow? Crazy and lonely..... I have been pouring over advice for widows and dating, trying to prepare for Germany guy to get here. Hello! That's in one month! What I have found is these two terms a lot! Yes, I felt...
- So, I'm in an online relationship. Yesterday, my best friend was crying about her 6 year relationship. Her needs are not met. I pulled out my book from a marriage retreat I attended in 2097. I didn't cry or hurt, I was looking to help her and give...
- I attended a funeral today at the same church.... I wore the same dress.... ti was the same pastor.... I had the same feeling of sadness....For some reason, it gave me comfort. It brought back memories of his funeral and me being at the front with...
- The pain lessens and the tears subside. Life takes on new meaning, new purpose. New friends are made and old friends are appreciated more. Seasons change and the past becomes a little fuzzy. Summer of 2012 has its memories, but mostly good ones, not...
- In trying to discover myself I have uncovered some weird traditional side of me that I didn't realize was there..... And an emotional component to this "new relationship" that could walk me right into some undesirable behaviors. Every morning, the...
- Yesterday, I got a little discouraged. I prayed that someone would reach out to me. Someone did, immediately. I got several bits of advice. The best was from a widower who said he would think of what his late wife would say to him. I thought about...
- I never told him goodbye. I knew he was dying, but felt it more important to say "I love you." This morning, I woke up with the deep regeret of not having said goodbye. I have to work all day. I would rather go to the cemetary. I don't go often, but...
- Ok, Sharon, you hooked me. And I even have a story from today. My husband passed in March of this year. I tried the online dating sites. I broke my right ankle on July 21 and cancelled my profile. (Wouldn't have been a fun date.) I wouldn't have...
