Wanted you to know I heard you and understand this feeling
well my version of it as we are all different but still in this together
key word is Fighting . You are fighting an uphill battle but you're still fighting
yup wish we all could catch a break and get a "time out "of this struggle
take care

hoping your stars have aligned a little better for you
and yes it does suck ...
it gets so overwhelming when it seems everything goes to shit at once
well life is overwhelming enough with out these cannonballs being thrown at us
my first winter after Don died the brand new boiler kept failing , off and on so repairmen couldn't figure it out
never knew if I was waking up to frozen pipes
other things kept breaking that winter, of course
I hear you !
ps can you put that plastic window wrap stuff on the window for temp fix ?

" I just miss him "
hugs to you

its the moments that we cant explain that bring us to our knees
Can't explain why they come but they pack a punch
I also have his truck in the driveway and have that feeling when i see it
its a comfort and a curse
Thanks for posting

I see him leaning on our bridge that leads to the back yard
holding on to an ice coffee and walking towards me when he see's me
the way he did when he was here ..
-
yes I can only imagine how that must have felt
it is the surprise attacks of grief that are hard to manage
I still remember the first time someone said the Widow word to describe me
it was one of my dearest friends and no bad intentions were meant . like you said it is the truth
still stopped me and I truly had to catch my breath , still do sometimes as it seems still so unreal
sending you hugs and as usual we get that feeling and it sucks
-
Ouch ..I am sure she didn't mean it but I understand how it just hits you like a ton of bricks
it is the casual remarks people make in conversation that just make me catch my breath
just brings all the rawness back
take care

made perfect sense to me what he said

ok I know this is just a tiny one but driving through dunkin donuts

-
We are here and we "give a shit"
I wish I had a way to make the hurting stop
please know we are here and we hear you
sending you hugs
take care

this is such a personal decision so no right or wrong way
just do what you feel is right for you , I am sure you heart will lead you
you can always put it back on if it doesn't seem like the right time
I am almost two years out and still wear mine but only because I still feel married
and I am sure when the time comes for me I will know

Hi
I am not quite sure but I would think if they cashed the checks it should pay out
I hope so and good luck
every little bit of money at this time helps

I am so sorry I can't make it , its the only day I can go see my nephews new college
have fun ~

these days are so hard ,I so wish there weren't
how was your day ?
I also took my dog and headed to the lake for the weekend
I just needed to unplug
I agree not the best for everyone but you do whatever you need to get through the day

No reason to apologize Ruth

Fuck !!today would have been our 25 th wedding anniversary
just fucking unfair
-
with the help of family and friends our bedroom that we started redoing before he died is finished
it overlooks the backyard and you see all his gardens
MyDon would have loved to see the finish project
Hate that would have been our bedroom is now just mine
-
" if I don't do it , no one else will" I think this says it all
its the reason we all get up in the morning
its the reason we honor our husbands, like you did, at his memorial
all of us here know how hard and heartbreaking this was for you
we get that you had to take deep breaths just to get yourself ready and walk through the door
I am sorry his family didn't attend
take care

just wanted you to know I read this and understand

great quote
ladybug -when I do dream of myDon he is also young
like when we first met
full head of hair
I try and think he got to pick what he gets to look like in dreams
I would like any way he looked just so I can see him ,if only in my dreams
