How about the answer to "What's New" --- "Nothing, but everything, and you?". That's what I feel like, nothing is new that would interest anybody else, but my life is all screwed up and that's new -- thanks for asking

Thank you for posting this! This echos my thoughts completely. I am tired. Single parenting stinks. Setting up holidays stinks. I'm used to having someone tell me how beautiful the house looks and someone to bounce present ideas off of. My kids love the decor, but you know how kids are --"Yeah, sure, mom, that's cool." My husband used to say --"Wow! It looks amazing in here." I know that is probably unusual for a man -- haha-- but he validated me. Sigh. I am also BORED too.

It's better that he told you now, rather than too late. See... I remarried 1 year after my husband died (bad idea) and right after the honeymoon my new husband told me he hated my kids. SO, spare yourself the heartache... learn from me. You only want to be with someone who adores you AND your kids. FYI -- widows/ers are an attractive bunch -- no ex to deal with and they usually come with a bit of money. SO, keep looking -- and open your heart (but not your wallet) and you will find someone great just for you!

Thank you. I appreciate your love and support. Life is definitely an interesting journey, isn't it? I have learned SO many lessons in life that I wish I could share with people. I seriously want to write a book -- about what NOT to do when your husband dies. haha. I can share TONS of what not to dos!

Thank you for sharing your story. I did CPR on my husband too and it is something I will never forget. I think I can remember every minute of that time period. I hope life is getting easier for you. Take Care, Mary

HI, I'm new here . I lost my husband in May of 2013 after an extended illness -- but he committed suicide after he got out of the hospital. The story is too long to share right now. But, I was so angry and hurt that I got remarried in 2014. Well, that turned out to be a disaster --Talk about learning how to recover from to deep emotional blows at the same time. I think my friends an family are tired of my drama. Personally, I am tired of my drama too! I just can't wait for my life to be "normal" again. I was the wealthy soccer mom that "had it all" and it pretty much all blew up in my face. I am just sad now. Honestly, I was so angry after Lance died that I didn't cry. I just "moved on". But now, that my ex-husband is out of the house, I miss Lance so very much. It's like all the grief I had from him dying just erupted, and now I am just so sad and I miss him, every day, all the time. The bad part is, that everyone else has moved on ... like 3 years ago... and I am just newly grieving again. Nobody wants to hear about how sad I am because they "got over it" a few years ago. I found this forum in hopes of being able to find an outlet to discuss my feelings without burning my friends and family out. Like I said, they are tired of my "man-drama". Thank you for giving me an outlet to express myself. It is helpful to know that there is a place for me to talk to someone . Mary
