- In widow land..... It's a world, not just a state. It's more than just missing our spouses, It's loss of comfort.It's sleeping in a bed, alone.Nobody to bounce that idea off of. Nobody to tell you wonderful things about you.Nobody else to clean up...
- I signed up for a "counselor" from church. She has been a widow for 11 years and meets with me once per week at my house. She brought me the book, Winter Grief, Summer Grace. I thought I would share some with you. "Someone who has been a part of...
- Winter Grief, Summer Grace Returning to Life After a Loved One Dies by James Miller. I have a voluntary grief counselor from the church and she gave me this book last night. It is very good. It had scripture reference in it. It is a very short book,...
- This morning I woke up with a feeling that I can not put words to describe. It plain feels evil. I slept well. I dreamt a lot. I woke up and pulled the covers over my head. It didnt go away. i got up and got my coffee. its still here. I'm not used...
- It makes me crazy. I'm 40 yrs old and didn't choose to be alone. I invested 24 years into a good marriage. I envisioned having my partner to grow old with. Never got the chance. I don't like sleeping alone, coming home to no hugs or kisses, no more...
- My kids 14, 20, 21 have told me recently that it is getting harder for them to grieve. The pain deeper and more acute. We are close to five months. I know I should not interfere, but I'm female and I'm wanting to "do" something for them. I read a...
- I've become this person who is seeking poetic justice for my new found life through journaling. Written word used to mean something different to me. I used it for communication, notes, letters, reflection, lists, etc. Much of my writing is now used...
- Does anyone have any thoughts on the Grief Recovery Handbook?
- Since my husband passed away I've had a lot of questions about myself. Who am I? Answered that. Can I be responsible for myself, my home, my daughter? Yep! Will I ever sleep agin? Lol! Praise God, I do! Other questions have entertained me though & I...
- The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls were connected. Maybe they always have and will be. Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other. And maybe each time, we've been forced...
- I am so angry today, I don't know what to do. I'm just going to list why and see if it helps. I'm angry bc I lost my husband at 40 yrs old. People feel sorry for me. Being the only one responsible for taking care of the home, etc. having a broken...
- a fellow widow friend sent this to me and I found it interesting. It opened my eyes.... To some of my own conflicting beliefs. And I thought I would share. I hope it helps someone...
- He said No surgery! He said No surgery! The ligaments pulled the end of the bone off and it will with a boot! 2 weeks on crutches! It could be so much worse!!!!! Thanks for all of your concerns!
- Getting over it so soon? But the words are ambiguous. To say the patient is getting over it after an operation for appendicitis is one thing; after hes had his leg off is quite another. After that operation either the wounded stump heals or the man...
- It's been four months. I haven't had a good nights sleep in almost two years. About February, I noticed a knot in my lower back. It was painful. It was always there. I attributed it to stress. I also noticed that all my muscles were tense and I...
