I am a bit over the three year mark and although we didn't have kids I do feel that rebellious side. I think the true reality , even if delayed , seems to creep in at this timeline. This is our new life and I just didn't want it to be the truth. So be kind to yourself and do what you need ..pitch a fit , yell as loud as you want , do whatever you need to do.:) It has been said before grieving doesn't have a timeline Take Care

Hope you have a lovely Spa day even if little parts of the day may be a bit sad , Hugs to you

Fuck that both my lawnmowers decided to crapout , really both , and the same day ! I will get them fixed , I am sure it's something simple , but just fucking sick of days like this that make it so hard

I love anything by David Sedaris. Written or especially spoken , He always gets me to laugh.

I am so sorry Our pets are our best friends ,therapist and our family So they are truly missed when they are gone

Christine , I agree you are not grieving backwards this is all so hard and to add betrayal from a "friend" and having to deal with financial issues is awful Someone on this board had a quote that I cherished and it got me through some really rough days "On particularly rough days when I am sure I can't possible endure,I like to remind myself that my track record for getting through bad days so far is 100% and that's pretty good " Please be gentle with yourself and lean on us when you need Take Care

Hugs to you Brokenheart2 I hope the weekend was kind to you take care

Amazing Post . One of the reasons I rely on this forum is the wonderful people and posts. They seem to always come when needed most I thank you all

Fuck you hot water heater ...only 4 years old and just needed a part But company who it was bought from ...POOF , Gone !! No part , No warrenty so I now need brand new system Just so fucking tired of having to make decisions alone !!!

Yes I totally get it .... This just happened to me this past weekend I was away with family and friends but still always had that feeling that is it so unfair that he didn't get to have any more birthdays and I am now older then he will ever be and it sucks

I had stopped watching that show awhile ago , was sad to watch when I knew her husband had died But it some how popped up on my face book .. the actual scene in the hospital Stupid me clicked on and the tears flowed Hugs to you all

Thank you so much for this post, I think it is an important one for us with our dogs I do remember putting my other dog down when Don was still alive Like you we used 5 favorite activities that became down to one ...she had stopped wagging her tail so that was the true one that convinced us I still have my other dog that Don only knew for 2 years , she has become my shadow so I hope I feel the same peace on her time to go Hoping your Husband and Dog are together

I am so sorry you are in this place again. Sending you a strong hug

A friend of mine brought some of my husbands ashes to Alaska I had a copy from the funeral home about the ashes but he never needed to use it You could call the airport and ask what they recommend

Yup lots of snow here Went out three times for cleanup Between the wind and the snow still falling you would never know I ever went out ! The wind has made the drifts pretty amazing and unpredictable but gotta love New England , Right ?

So sorry you are going through this Let us know if you need to to add anything that we may be able to help with Take care

Walk ..with the dog in the woods Leaf pick up...Use a Rake or leaf blower ?

" I miss the old me " yes , says it all Sorry we can all relate to this feeling but thanks for the post

"Proceed with Caution " would work
