- About Me:
- Hi. I am a 61 year old lady and live in Tallahassee,FL. I've been retired for many years. I enjoy walking in the woods, and going to my Unity church here, where I participate in our prayer team.
- About my Loss:
- March 16, 2015. Hi. I'm new to submitting posts to blogs, so hopefully I'm doing this "right."
I am 61 and dealing with many family losses that have taken place since the beginning of 2013. My favorite aunt passed away at the age of 93 in January of 2013. Then on the day before Easter of 2013, my dad passed away after being with my mother in an assisted living facility for several years. He had Alzheimers, as well as PTSD that really came out in the last couple of months of his life. In fact he pushed my mother, and they had to be separated. He injured a few of the staff at the assistant living facility too. Then there was the 2nd cousin who committed suicide on August 31, 2014. and I was the one who contacted family regarding that tragedy. My mother, who had the Sundowner's version of Alzheimers, passed away at the age of 86 on October 9, 2014.
On top of all of that, my best friend's husband, who had been ill with diabetes and kidney disease for years and had had several "little" strokes, had a massive stroke a few days ago, and passed away. It was just a day after they celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.
My digestive system is a mess, although I've had tests run and other than a little gastritis, I don't have any major health problems based on many tests that I've had. But my stomach is always upset and hurts quite a bit.
My friends want to confort me, but don't really know what to do. I tend to want to be alone a lot as I keep trying to sort things out. I do have a grief counselor who is very nice. But I know I have a long way to go to feel like "myself" again.
Sorry for the long blog, but I felt the need to get this all down in writing.

Many Losses Breaking My Heart
One day after their wedding anniversary, my best friend Rebecca lost her husband to a stroke. He had had many health challenges, including diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney disease. He didn't follow the diabetic diet at all well. In fact the meal they had for their anniversary was not on that diet. When heard where they were going for that meal, I had some misgivings, but knew that he had done that many times and recovered pretty well. But this time I had a strong sense of …

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief
Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee More
Assumptions
An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true. Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions. This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
