Health and bereavement is now a thread not a forum. I pinned it for now. I imagine a healty living thread will pop up. They always do

Hello! Glad you are here and things are falling in place.

No matter how far along we get we need other who can say they 've been there sometimes. I renember a few specific things from the funeral and that is it. People can tell me all kinds of info and its still just those few things. Maybe thats all my mind could handle. I know now that I was in shock. I wasnt aware then or for almost 5 years. Glad you are here

Up to 220 in a day! I have not a single tech ability but glad to help any way I can. You guys are awesome. And thanks to the behind the scenes people too.

Well, technically, I'm a Bago Diva, but I guess Bago Queen would work too.  ;D

oh you are but I  didnt like Divo for our men 

1. It is warm

2. It is sunny

3. It is breezy

I went thru a grieving,process but it was quick. I immersed myself in the new. People will find us. No one was being added to the old one. I am ok with leaving my early days behind there but it is very sad. Especially those we lost.

Im very lucky my region is ripe for bagos. As for phoenix, it can never hurt to post and see if anyone pops up.

This is a good place to be.

We are a proud donor family. Some people struggle after or years later. I believe this is a fluid topic for most families. I volunteer to help sign people up. I love telling of his gift but it is emotionally exhausting to keep talking about that awful night.  He gave 2 people sight and gave 36 additional people less pain and better mobility with bone etc. I imagine it is even more overwhelming for those who gave  actual organs. Literally saved lives but a vital part of them lives on in someone else. Let's support each other wherever we are.

I already had many health issues before becoming widowed.  making the transition to a non working person is tough but luckily my husband was here to help me then. Early in my grief I was mostly in bed. I had to ask myself is tnis pain, stress, depression or grief? It was often all. 

I have developed additional health problems since he died.  It is hard not having him pick up my slack in addition to all the other reasons. I dont keep up with all my specialists. It is exhausting. I feel being widowed aged  me fast. But over the last year or so I feel I am losing the gray pallor of widowhood that was in my complexion at least .

Nothing was better for my healing than getting up, out and meeting other young widowed people. For me, it is the best medicine. Whether a vacation, lunch or just coffee, there is nothing like being with other people who "get it". 

My husband was in poor health but not sick if that makes sense. His death was very sudden right in front of me. At 5 years it hit me just how shocking the whole thing was. I too lost my identity when he died. I was a grown woman and only knew him 8 years. Yet his love had that much of an impact on my life. I was disabled from employment when he died. I still am. I live with his young adult stepson who has some special needs. Im now his guardian. We moved 5 weeks after he died and downsized and moved again a little over 2 years ago. My husband's organs were not suitable for transplant but we donated tissue. He gave sight to two people and his bone etc helped 36 additional people. He was not registered so I had to make the decision. This is why I encourage people to register so their loved ones don't have to make that decision in the worst moments of their lives. Also I know people who lost their loved ones waiting. The details are uncomfortable to think about it but I am very proud of our choice and his legacy. He was the love of my life. I miss him but I am mostly used to it now. The reason I am ok is because of the people online when the worst happened and those who are truly a part of my life now.
