I hope you two have a wonderful weekend together. Stay home. Stay in, together. Cook a lovely dinner together, candles, then breakfast in bed. Oops, sorry, guess I'm living vicariously... Enjoy! ~Catnip

Yes, it is a new day. But you know what? Sometimes you just need to cry and let it out. At least you were with people who understand. Living thru this journey is difficult. Looking back and telling your story brought it all back again. But, it helps. That's why that group is there and that's why you go. Good for you for bringing your kids. Boy, if I look back at my life, and even when my husband was still alive, I can't imagine how I got thru my life. But I'm still standing!! Peace to you, ~Catnip

Yippee! Let the fun begin. Peace to you both, ~Catnip

I’m Carol. My husband, Dave, died suddenly from pulmonary embolisms (blood clots in both lungs). We put the Christmas tree up the week before Christmas and he died the next day. I called 911 at 7:40am and he died at 10:00am that Sunday morning. The wake was Wednesday, the funeral was Thursday and Monday was Christmas, 2006. We were married 26 years and we have 3 sons who were 17, 20 and 22 at the time. We were both 51 years old. My 3 sons are now all college graduates, all with full time jobs, and two still live at home. We come and go and pass each other in our travels. I work full time too, at a college where they all received free tuition, where I got my degree, and where I met my husband (we had classes together). My middle son has Cerebral Palsy so he will probably always live with me. We have one black cat, Calvin (aka the Calvinator).

I'm just concerned that people from YWBB will be able to find our new home here. I was reading YWBB over the weekend and noticed that it wasn't very busy. Then I noticed that there were no new posts. Then I noticed that you couldn't post. Admin. had not yet posted about its closing. I happened to read Maureen's post where, in red, it caught my attention that there was another site. But then that closed, which brought me here. Whew! This is my first post here! I'm new again! Thanks to all who are running this place. My husband was a computer person for over 20 years. How I miss him keeping my computer up and running. It's now up to my kids. Peace to all, ~Catnip
