Scattering Ashes

I got Ariel's ashes scattered on her birthday, October 25th.  At first I thought it'd be just one place where that'd get done, but three others came to mind and kept coming up.  One was the spot where we'd renewed our vows on our 10-year wedding anniversary.  Another was the area in the back yard where we'd buried a lot of the pets we'd had over the years.  A third...well....that was her place.  Those all went OK.  It was sad, but at the same time I could also connect with the good memories…

Associations

A friend had mentioned this, but I hadn't realized how true it was until today. My friend came out to visit a couple weeks ago, and commented on how most places we went I seemed to have some association with Ariel.  She said it'd probably do me some good to get away, to re-set my connections with the world around me.  I didn't think much of it at the time.  It hadn't seemed to affect me all that much before.  Today, however, I took my new camera to a park to test it out some more.  It's a…

Trudging Along Through It

I noticed I haven't posted anything here in awhile, so figured I'd at least put something up...



I got a cremation jewelry necklace ordered today.  It's a titanium cylinder that'll hold a little bit of Ariel's ashes in it.  I'd been thinking I wanted to keep some of her ashes, though most will be getting scattered.  Nothing I had here seemed like it'd do the job.  A friend told me that cremation jewelry's gotten more popular, I guess as cremation's gotten more popular in the last… Continue

Strength

One of the things that'd bothered me a fair amount in the last while was hearing people say, "you're so strong!"  They seem surprised that I'm still getting up in the morning, going to work, getting my bills (eventually) paid, and so on.  The initial reaction was always wanting to scream back, 'Are you NUTS???  Do you have any idea what this all FEELS like?  How in the Hell can you think I'm strong when I'm still so hurt and confused and lost so much of the time?!!"  I certainly don't feel…

So sorry about your loss. I am also new to this group. I lost my Dad on Dec. 28,10.
It was totally unexpected. He was visiting me for Christmas when he had a massive heart attack. It was horrible. The pain is so hard to cope with,especially when you have a family you have to take care of.
My aunt killed herself when I was a baby,but I have always heard the story about all of the unanswered questions. I am so sorry....maybe this group will help us both.

My heart goes out to you.....there are no words that will take the pain away....believe me I have heard them all. I lost my partner the love of my life 5 months ago....he died in my arms of a cardiac arrest. My life has been turned upside down. Just remember you are not alone and this wonderful support group enables you to talk to people that know just how you feel.

The Wheels on (My Grief) Bus Go Round and Round...

New Year - 2025!At the start of the year I returned to Thailand for another medical mission.  This was my fourth trip for this and I was somewhat ready/prepared for the heightened emotions.  Not sure why...no real connection to Jen or her accident, but in the past these trips offer some extended alone time, away from others, away from people that speak the same language and as such seem to bring the thoughts back to the forefront.  Strangely, the same levels of emotionality were not there.  Not…See More

Speed Weasel commented on Dottie's status
"Dottie, do you find the anniversary dates to still be as emotionally difficult as the first couple times?  I find that some years, it is very fresh and raw, others almost (almost) slip by without fanfare."

Speed Weasel replied to Mabel Murphy's discussion My husband passed away
"So sorry for you with his passing. That is rough, that there has been so much time between the initial diagnosis and the final moments.  On top of the 'normal' grief, you may also start to feel relief, which is likely to add to the…"

My husband passed away

My husband passed away last Saturday after a long illness. His memorial service is next week. We have three boys, ages 14, 11, and 6. I'm glad I found this place. It seems to be a place of great caring and support. I actually registered here a while before my husband's passing, as I was grieving for his loss after he entered a nursing home. He had been there since the end of 2008, after being diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease in 2006 and deteriorating quickly. He was only 58 when…See More
