I didn't realize he wasn't running for office. Still don't understand why he told about his son. What is VPOTUS? Harper for PM!

In elementary, homework may be a reality but to deny recess is not good. As my Dad used to say ' kids need to get the stink out' LOL but it's true! This teacher was delinquent in not letting you know what's happening with your daughter. Shameful, I'm sorry you have to put up with this. Z

I'm a Canadian and I've always liked Biden but sorry, I have a problem with this interview. He stated his son never wanted anyone to know he got a Bronze Star (1:44 on the video) and he just told America. WTF was that? Why did he dishonour his sons wishes? Politics is a dirty f'en game. Just sayin, please don't be swayed by the heart strings when it comes to voting!

MrsDan, I understand because I don't trust my gut right now. I feel to weird in this widow journey. I totally understand your dilemma. It's so easy to give advice, not always easy to follow it! I hope it works well for you. I guess I just wanted to say I get it! . I hope he rocks your world!

Congratulations to all of you! I remember you posting on YWBB when you got together! I wish you all blessings and happiness!

Must agree with Trying to 'focus on you'. That's where the 30 days of no communication helps.best of luck to you with whatever you do!

Good for you. I hope you find a man deserving of you and your kids!

He rocked my world, what can I say!

Awe Bear, that sound a tad crusty! Lol

Abitlost...let him go. You deserve better than a boy wanting to connect with Mommy. Cut ties for min 30 days and see how you are feeling. A councillor suggested that to me back in my 20's with an ex. Made all the difference in the world Peace and hugs to you

Sounds to me like he just may like you for you and no one or nothing else. Does he seem like a good guy? a nice guy? If so, go with it and leave all that past stuff behind. Trust your gut and don't ignore it I hope you have fun!

It's your wedding anniversary and I hope you found peace and loving memories. My father died 26 yrs ago and I always called my Mom and wished her a happy anniversary (although now I wished I used different words but she always was glad to hear from me. Now I get it) I hope you may find comfort in reminiscing with your cherished memories. Hugs

Thank you for your post. I'm embarking on Yr 3 and feeling.....growing and receding. Baby steps I guess. Going back and going forward. Wow, such a dicotamy but the liking who you've become really so inspires me. Thank you!! What I get from your wonderful post is we can't go back so find the best in going forward. My DH told me 2 days before he died " The only constant in life is change". At the time I was gob smacked. You just reinforced his statement. Thank you so much

You've got this Jen, just give it time and feel your grief! You go Jen!

Way to go TS for being there for your real friends! As for the others....they don't deserve your effort but you already know that .

Congrats Jess!!

I agree Lost35, give them time to grieve but at the same time, isn't that sadly the NA way. NA just doesn't get nor want to get grief. They (we) want to rush to have it end.

Wow. All of these deaths are way too young. My DH was 53 you are all way too young. 28.. 31. WTF is going on? Way too young! Hugs to you Mizpah!

At 2.5 yrs out I'm still so I love with him. Ouch how can this be. He left me 2.5yrs ago. I'm pissed off and just want him sooooo bad. Ugh widowhood.

Oh I remeber this day only to well. It was the day DH and I moved into our newly built house on the lake. Yup it was so weird for all of us. 14 yrs ago today. Our dream home and this happened on moving day. Our hearts were broken and excited at the same time. Kinda crazy like widowhood. Only nothing exciting about widowhood, more like the emotional turmoil we all go through.

So sorry you are here Fran but glad you found us. Post anything you think we can't handle because we can. We've all been there. We get you don't want to wake up another morning without him. Take one day, hour, minute at a time. Drink lots of water (crying is dehydrating). It's all baby steps! Big hugs to you Fran.

Great advice Trying! Wish there were meet ups in my area. I'm joining the eu her club at the local church in the fall. At least I'll get out Friday nights and I love to play euchre. Believe it or not, I will. Be out of my comfort zone, but hopefully for not too long

Awe, that's why I love coming here. My head is a mess and I get great advice from all of you to process! Thank you! I do need to get out of my comfort zone and stop feeling like I would be unfaithful, yeah....crazy eh (Canadian "Reconnect with that part of yourself"....yes. Who the heck is that self? Maybe it's time to find out!

Gauruja, in my opinion not chauvinistic at all. I couldn't imagine asking a man out and I feel for you men having to do that. I'll never say never that I wouldn't do it but never have, I'm way to shy. Mind you I was with DH for 25 yrs and I'm a lot older now Quixote, why would you think there is something wrong with you? Are you reading about others dating on an earlier timeline? We all have our own grief and timeline. You stated 'you could imagine being with someone else' well maybe you just haven't met her yet and when you do I bet that spark will be there. It's almost 2.5 yrs for me and DHs friend told me the other day he'd like to take me to dinner. I've been a mess for a couple of days just imagining going out with someone other than DH. He didn't even set a date it was more of a heads up and it had me reeling with my reality. This sure can be a complicated journey! Hugs

I was married to a nice guy until he died. Nice guys rock!
