About Me:
I am a 55 year old woman, with two wonderful children and grandbabies. I live in Texas and have for all but 18 months of my life. I live alone and I have a good job.
About my Loss:
I lost my husband of thirty years just about five years ago. It has gotten easier to get up in the mornings and even laugh, but I just can't seem to move any further forward and I can't explain it to my family. I still think of him daily and sometimes it is still hard to breath.

Leigh,
My name is Brenda and I live in Cypress Tx. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It is obviously apparent that you found that grief is a journey not a destination. Each person travels this horrible road in their own way and in their own time. Maybe you also need to know that the way you are feeling is normal. That really meant a lot to me when we lost my father in law. I never thought I would have such a physical reaction - it was as though I had a terrible virus - and it lasted a few days. I read a brochure WHEN SOMEONE YOU LOVES DIES and discovered I was normal - I felt much better. Here is a link to it - http://m.wol.jw.org/en/wol/lv/r1/lp-e/0/19302

It is very good to talk and I understand that you want to get out with other people. But do it in your time - maybe start little with no expectations other than human contact, adult conversation. Or maybe start a journal - if you would like maybe we could meet for lunch sometime. Just know that you are normal and this is your journey to the eventual happiness your husband wished for you.

Everyone on this website is suffering and will listen 24/7 - ((( hugs)))

Your friend,
Brenda

Hello, I am wondering if this is the right place for me. I am very alone with no one to talk to about how i feel, but I am at a point in this horrible long road where i feel like if I don't change something soon I will become just what my husband asked me not to. He made me promise to move on and be happy. Which is a promise i haven't been able to keep. But I am at a point where i think I would like to have another good and kind and loving friend in my life, if I could only be so blessed as to have this happen to me again in one lifetime. I guess I am looking for someone to talk to who may understand me at this stage in my life. I hurt and love him everyday, but sometimes I think I am brave enough to venture out and meet some people, but then this fear overtakes me and I crawl back into my own little world and fold up. I am honestly wanting to be around people again and try to have a bit of a life again. I just don't know how. This is the question, how? Anyway this is what makes me wonder if this is where I need to be to try to accomplish trying to live again.

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
