About Me:
I have had many surgeries due to Degenerative Arthritis. I have had Cervical Spine Fusion. Volunteer at County Health Office. Like to garden.
About my Loss:
Lost my Husband of nearly 40yrs to brief period diagnosed with Renal Cancer in October 2015 and passed away December 15,2015. He was 58 yrs old, and I am devastated by his loss. It is hard to get out of bed and face the day knowing that he will never return as hard as I pray and hope. We were high school sweethearts and looked forward to seeing each other at the end of everyday. Our best times were sitting in the back yard on the swing and watching the birds come in to feed. We would just hold hands and know that each other was there for the other, spiritually and emotionally. I miss him so terribly and can not imagine living out my life without him. I have no reason to live on or any desire to. He was my everything, he was faithful to his Catholic religion, gentle, forgiving, patient and always kind to me and everyone. He was a great Father and the perfect Husband. He made me a better person.

Hi Mary. I'm not sure how this reply thing works. But I just wanted to say that I don't have any answers. I totally understand the deep ache you feel for your husband. It is hard to do life each day. Hard to start the day without that one person who means so much to you. It's been 10 months for me and I feel the loss more each day. I've lost the joy in my heart. My Neil was so special and filled me with love, happiness and joy. I only am here for my kids as my youngest is 16. But honestly I rather not be here or just stay in bed all day. People say life goes on, indeed it does, but I don't want to participate in it without my Neil. The love of my life. My worst fear was losing him, and it happened. He was only 52. And I'm devestated
I wish I could tell you something inspiring but just know that you are not alone. Sending you peace

Sending you hugs and praying for comfort. I know how you feel and it is a difficult road. I too lost my high school sweetheart 9 months ago. He was 52. What you have described is also how I feel. The only reason I am still here is for my kids. But I too have lost my life partner and so now what is there - except for our kids. I wish you peace and comfort. Mary

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
