Profile Information

About Me:
I am 32 years old, I have three children and one on the way. I am a live in care giver for a 61 year old lady.
About my Loss:
my most recent loss was the unexpected death of my husband on December 23 2008. My 10 year old daughter and myself were the ones to find him. He had 2 major cardiac arrests and aspirated which left him immediately brain dead. Jeff had been diagnosed with Chrones disease 2 years earlier and was going through chemo and steriod treatments. also because of the high doses of prednisone he had to be on he developed diabetes which we were not aware of when I found him his blood sugar was 611.
1 year prior to this on November 17 2007 my oldest daughters biological dad my ex husband committed suicide by hanging. I never have gotten though that one and I am now falling apart about everything. Since I posted this the xhild I was expecting now has no father due to him passing away on 4-7-11 from suicide by hanging as well as have lost the woman I cared for in my home. The blows keep coming and I fear I will never not know death.

Being the Other Woman/Other Man

This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More

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
