Hi Karen,

The biggest thing i can share is that death SUCKS.

I had a friend who gave me a thought process....this is like the worst homesickness you can have.  When you are a kid and away from home, being homesick is easily resolved....you know you are going to go home.  But this home you have built....a life, a place in the world, everything you know, its gone....and this is the kind of homesickness that there is no cure for.  When she said that, it rang so true.  I am homesick for Nikki....and i can never go back to that home.


I am so sorry for the loss of your partner....14 years is a major milestone....and pancreatic cancer must have been hell.  Feel free to connect here as you need to.  I am always around to listen.

Hey Karen I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Kim. In those first few days and weeks the pain is just raw. If you ever need to talk just email me ok. I had also been with my partner 14 years and I am 8 months into the grief process. I have moved back to Scotland as being in the USA without her was unbearable for me also having no rights as a couple made everything just that much more worse. I had also just lost my dad so coming home here just seemed thr right time.
I am here if you just need to talk ok.
Hugs to you. Julieann

Hi Karen.  I am happy you friended me.  You might want to join Widowed Village.  They have a group just for caregivers of chronic and terminal spuses.  I have found them to be very accepting and caring.  Can't imagine the boatload of problems you faced.   But then, I live in Oklahoma!

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

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
