Hey Carey. Like others have said before me. You can do this for her. Yes it will be hard as hell but you've been through worse and survived. You are widow strong now. You've got this. Maybe as others have said , you'll have a meltdown after, that's ok too. Giant hugs and best of luck to get through this.

Big hugs SVS. I can completely relate to all of what you said. Me too Be gentle with yourself today!

Funny you should ask Guaruj, I just read this yesterday from Justin in Aug in this tread: Keurig cups - I really love the convenience of my Keurig, but those cups of coffee aren't cheap. I supplement store-bought K-cups with reusuable cups and paper filters purchased on Amazon. Use a fine-ground coffee (I like Cafe Bustelo) and pack the cup tight. There are also cups with built-in screens, but I have high cholesterol and need the paper filter to remove oils.

Thank you both for understanding. Yes it is hurtful and I am putting distance from them. Enough is enough. Yes, my niece is still at the top of the transplant list. She has been slowly rebuilding her strength which is great for the surgery! She's a fighter

I know it's not a big gripe but I just have to get it off my chest. DH niece posted on fb yesterday a pic of DH sis with arms around DH ex. touting a tradition with hearts. I just now feel like I need distance from the lot including step kids. Dumb shit happening there too. I don't have the tolerance or patience with this BS right now. My niece is fighting for her life and I'm just done. WTF. Guess I'm just not happy enough for them.

I'll take one of those weekends too please!

Glad to hear you got to laugh today! It feels good doesn't it. Early on for me, I wondered if I'd ever laugh again.

Wow Silwe rant away. That must be so hard to wake up to. I'm glad to hear you are happy with NG. Hugs!

Linda, I'm so sorry for the loss of your Father. My Dad died over 20 yrs ago and after DH died I remember saying to my Mom this is so much worse. She was so matter of fact and said of course it is. I was blown away by her response but she was right. She lived and experienced it. I have 5 siblings and they have no idea. My Mom is my bigest advocate and support. Y'all are the next ones! Big hugs Linda5

Hi Jen I just replied to your other post and read this one now. Wow you must be devastated and I'm so sorry you all have to go through this. Hugs to all of you.

Hi Jen, I'm so sorry you had to join us but am glad you found us. You will find amazing support here as we 'get it'. We've been there. Please remember being so early out to breathe, drink lots of water (as crying is dehydrating) and try to get some sleep as best you can. The early days are excruciating so be kind and gentle with yourself. Giant hugs to you and your daughter.

I too feel a sense of normal coming here. Just today I was feeling like I'm living in this bubble of unreality and feel a tad crazy. Like, how can this be my life? Really? Why? Thank you all for not making me feel crazy! Hugs ❤️

Wow SVS. This is so much. Thoughts and prayers with all of you. I hope you get some sleep tonight.

Awe Lost35 I wish I could help but can't. I just hope you find the support you need for your son. I'm sorry your family isn't more supportive. Hugs to both of you.

My step kids are in their late 20's and out on their own. Big hugs to all of you raising children/teens while enduring this grief. My heart goes out to you!

Hugs to you SVS.

Congrats to all of you! Blessings to your new family!

Rob and MMB you are too funny!!

Yes I'm coming up to 3 yrs in May and I too see many familiar names from our early days. Seems a lifetime ago and yesterday at the same time. We are widda strong although some days it doesn't feel like it. Big hugs.

Fuck that I'm prepping my beautiful home by myself and that I know it's best for me to move. Fuck this crazy widda life!!

Awe MTK sorry to hear that. I know how you feel. It's been 3 yrs for me now and longest Ive gone without in my adult life. UGH!

Wow, has this thread ever gone off the rails. I thought the topic was 'what are you needing' not what are you getting.

For what its worth I haven't been to one but if it was early evening, casual on a Sat. night (sexy wid sat night could have some good reads ) I would go! Then its left open to party on or go home with no pressure. Just my thoughts! Good luck with whatever happens! Wids getting together is always a good thing! We get it.

Congratulations to you for selling your house so quickly and getting your asking price. Im still packing and prepping my house to sell. I hope I'm as lucky as you!

Big hugs to you NeedyToo. Thinking of you!
