mo12 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 So, it's been awhile. I think about you all often but I haven't been to the site in months. Actually, this morning when I felt I needed to check in I couldn't remember the name of this site! I think I have been "pushing down" a lot of stuff lately trying to keep up with work, parent my almost-2-year-old (!!) and "start a new life" (still no idea what that looks like, but apparently it's happening!)... But as you all know, it's hard. Ill read a bit and hopefully catch up with a few of you soon.... Thanks for still being here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadiangirl Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 mo12, great to see you here. My brain still doesn't work either. We went into the grocery store tonight for something specific that I needed and we came out with other things but not the thing I went in for. Argh.

kjs1989 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Yes, the grocery store thing. I do that all the time. I think I am sooo organized. Make a list....but leave the list on the counter at home. Or yes, go in to get a specific item, and come out with $100 worth of stuff but not that one item I needed. Ugh.

Freelancing Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Just when over widow brain I got menopause brain. Fortunately, the forgetfulness has a milder feel to it, I rebound quicker and take natural remedies for menopause to help with it. Just when you thought you'd never have memory loss again. Aarrrrgh! Please make it a priority to grieve/vent here &/or in private. Grief goes on longer if its not attended to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I am close to my 18-month mark, and although I have thankfully seen an improvement, my brain is still not where it was. I have to use my smartphone to track appointments, lists, etc. and do an okay job with that. What I really hate is forgetting something that someone has told me because I fear that they will wrongfully think that I either don't care or wasn't interested enough to listen.

Ursula Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Dear mo, I just came back today too... I am with you trying to figure out why I haven't been here. Maybe avoiding the loudness of the written word or not wanting to think/ talk..... have widow (or not widow) dementia too, I believe calling it 'widow brain' is an understatement, I doubt there is much brain left (maybe call it mad widow disease ???). I forget the simplest things and piss people off by double booking dates and forgetting appointments. If I don't write it down, it's gone.....somewhere.... All the best for you, good luck with the 'new life' , I hope it gives you energy if needed and new perspective (-s). Hugs y'all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
