Another Loss

My older brother died on September 14 from kidney failure and an infection that could not be treated.

My sister-in-law called me to tell me he was in the hospital as I was checking my bag to fly from California to Iowa for my daughter's birthday.  That was on September 6th.…

There is no end to healing

As I read the anguish in the blogs of so many who have lost the love of their life recently, it takes me back to that dark, black empty place I lived 5 years ago after losing my wife of over 23 years.

Everything that I've read echos where I was, how alone and shattered I felt.  …

Life Continues, Grief Fades but Never Leaves

It's been a very long time since I've posted anything on my page, and I can't tell you why I'm moved to write this morning.

In June of 2012, after "dabbling" with online dating services, I returned to eHarmony as I found it to be the safest and provided more compatible matches than any other.

On July 20th, 2012, I checked my "what if" matches, women who were not 100% compatible, but the differences were minor enough, "what if" you contacted them and things worked…

It's the Little Things That Get You

I has been a while since I have written, but only because I write on paper, to other's in grief and in notebooks.

It is almost 5 months now since she has been gone, and I am getting used to the emptiness of her not being here.  I have been sad, but have only had a really, really good cry and that was about a month ago when I was formatting the audio of her service so I could burn it onto CDs for others.

I had to listen to it to ensure the quality was acceptable, so while…

Hello,
My wife of 33 years and truly my love, died on a Wednesday. She felt a little sick on Monday, by Tuesday we made an appointment to see the doctor on Wednesday. That morning i took her into the emergency room. She walked in and registered on her own. by 6 PM she died. she died of ARDS, pneumonia with a full body infection. i still can't believe it. She died on August 18th. I keep saying out loud "where are you". i finally stopped crying on a daily basis but the hurt is still there and I don't think it will ever get easier, maybe just use to it but not eisier.
We were just at the point in our lives ready to retire, our daughter was 8 months pregnant and we inherited a lot of money and were making wonderful plans.

I know what you mean I had to have minor surgrey 2 weeks ago and it was so hard to do all the things that he would have been there for but I had to do it all by myself.I have been taken anxiety meds since my husband came home from the hospital with hospice in Jan and I can not imange what this would be like without them.Everyone keeps telling me that this gets better but I do not think I beleive them anymore it hurts as bad or worse now than it did 7 months ago.I know for the first month I was in shock but I did not think it would really get worse but it has for me lately.Maybe it is the fall weather here or the impending holidays haing my grandkids close helps but not all the time.I guess we just get through one day at a time.

I know exactly what you mean about the holidays,I do not want to cook for Thansgiving or Christmas.We have always has big dinner with a lot of family around but I am just not up to it this year.I will still cook but not for the big group we usually have over,just my 2 daughters that live here and 2 of my grandsons.It is irionic that you mention Wichita because that is where my husband is from and where my stechildren still live,it is also where I took him to be buried.I live 1000 miles away and that is really hard because I have only been able to go visit his grave 3 times since he passed away.My husband and I are both Christans and my faith helps a lot as does talking about this with someone who is going through it too.

I am so glad you asked to be my friend that is why I am here to find people that are going through the same process that I am.My family tries to understand and one of my daughters lost her husband 5 years ago but I can not seem to talk to them about their Dad.I just want to try to make some sense out of this and do not know how,maybe we can help each other I sure hope so for both of us

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
