Loss of spouse…

For 40+ years we were together…married 39 years….We were to celebrate our 40th anniversary…
Nobody who hasn’t been married, and lost a spouse could possibly understand….even though he was into many causes…The loss is monumental… the loss of the stream of life…

Always give praise to those who have made your love story beautiful. Their love will never leave you.

My husband frequently failed to make the best decisions…..Some people have tremendous good luck, and others not as good… Awareness is critical….

The good and the bad often go down the generations at precisely the same time frame, as the generations before, but not in the same way…

My take: The essence of insight is assessing the time line before an event happens…,not easy, not at all easy….

The Wheels on (My Grief) Bus Go Round and Round...

New Year - 2025!At the start of the year I returned to Thailand for another medical mission.  This was my fourth trip for this and I was somewhat ready/prepared for the heightened emotions.  Not sure why...no real connection to Jen or her accident, but in the past these trips offer some extended alone time, away from others, away from people that speak the same language and as such seem to bring the thoughts back to the forefront.  Strangely, the same levels of emotionality were not there.  Not…See More

Speed Weasel commented on Dottie's status
"Dottie, do you find the anniversary dates to still be as emotionally difficult as the first couple times?  I find that some years, it is very fresh and raw, others almost (almost) slip by without fanfare."

Speed Weasel replied to Mabel Murphy's discussion My husband passed away
"So sorry for you with his passing. That is rough, that there has been so much time between the initial diagnosis and the final moments.  On top of the 'normal' grief, you may also start to feel relief, which is likely to add to the…"

My husband passed away

My husband passed away last Saturday after a long illness. His memorial service is next week. We have three boys, ages 14, 11, and 6. I'm glad I found this place. It seems to be a place of great caring and support. I actually registered here a while before my husband's passing, as I was grieving for his loss after he entered a nursing home. He had been there since the end of 2008, after being diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease in 2006 and deteriorating quickly. He was only 58 when…See More
