love2fish- Thanks so much for putting in the effort ! Sorry it didn't work out this time !

Laurie27- I do remember this . I think in the beginning you are in shock and your body and brain are in auto pilot. Once some time goes by it hits harder as the reality of this can't be avoided...like they really aren't coming home...sigh. but keep doing what you can , getting out everyday ,even if just for cat food :) is a good way to keep connected. Becoming isolated is so tempting but can be hard to get out of that habit once it starts Don't get me wrong hunkering down on the couch watching netflix for hours can also sooth the soul. Hugs to you

Yes labor day is a tough one , it would’ve been out 28 th wedding anniversary...ugh but I made sure it was filled with distractions and I also allowed myself a day to just feel whatever I needed to feel . Hugs to you all who found this weekend a little harder then most

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. Please keep reaching out here , we will be here to help

Good for you !!

Yes another weekend would be great , thanks again for the offer

How horrible. Not sure what else to say I hope she has people around her to help if they can

Yes thank you so much . It was a lovley afternoon with such wonderful people Glad we got to be a part of your loving tribute to Teri

I don't think you are nuts at all. I seem to feel or sense my husband around at certain times. He smoked a certain brand of cigars and friends and family have told me out of the blue they can sometimes smell the cigar I like the idea of this ,so for whatever reason it's happening I welcome it

Fuck this week! Whatever puppet master that is in control of life's master plan is an asshole ! I will wake up tomorrow and I will go to work and I will get through this, as we all do. But I miss the most important person in my life that with just one hug would erase the anger and pain Thanks for the vent...much needed

This is so true. Like you said it's the quiet tears that just flow.

I Can't do april 7th but other than that I am open

let me know what dates you decide and I will try to make it would really like to see you again

I am so sorry to hear this ,I appreciated his sense of humor and always looked forward to see what he posted . Hugs to his fiancée

So agree , It is so hard dealing with all these things big and small. It gets overwhelming and the one person that was our sounding board and helped with these decision isn't here to help. I agree with leadfeather "facing life with only half of myself" good luck with the furnace and all the daunting paperwork !
