About Me:
Not really sure how much to tell, or what to tell you. I have a teaching degree 6-12 in mathematics, a masters for incorporating technology in the classroom and am certified to teach the gifted. I worked for 20 years in Volusia county and 12 of those at a small school 6-12, where I taught all grade levels. To make a long story short; the stress of of administration and the 12-16 hour days: excluding summers was more than I could handle. I had already been under a stress load from being forced to place my mom in a nursing home and lost the rest of my family over that, so I am estranged from my side of the family. I do have a few great neighbors who can help me with my 4 horses and 8 acres. And a few good friends. I have also ran into people that my husband knew from working at the boys ranch who have helped me and I know I can trust. That is very comforting. Ted Watermans Construction, has been so gracious I can’t say enough. You see, my husband was known as “ A Very Nice Guy”, I use to joke and say that is what I will put on your tomb stone. He hated it. But he truly was a nice guy. I needed him in so many ways and now he is gone. I am alone for the first time in my life, with the exception of my dogs, bird and horses. I just realized this morning, I have never lived by myself. I am on disability and he was my go to person and I feel so lost without him. Sorry if I have spelled anything wrong as I am dyslexic and do not have my glasses on either.
About my Loss:
My husband, Walt died falling through the roof at work and layed there all night. He had never been out all night; so when he did not was not home the next morning I called and got the Miami office and then called a friend and I could hear the sirens from 2 miles away on 19 and knew something was terribly wrong. And probably wrote more than I was supposed to. I use to ride horse, train my dogs, play in my garden, but life does not seem to have much of a purpose. My husband has a son who is going to be 30 this summer. I have known him since he has been in the 6th grade. He and I still maintain our relationship as do his mother and I.

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
