Profile Information

About Me:
From Indiana. Lived all over when a child . Been married 3 times. Have 3 children of my own and 7 step children from my last marriage. I count all of them as my children. My Husband and I were married for 11 years. He was 23 yrs older than me. I was his 4th wife. the only one he married for love and not out of obligation. LOL We didn't have any mutual children for medical reasons on my part. Our children are all grown. Youngest is 18 and the oldest is 51.
About my Loss:
My Husband Gator as I call him. Walter Bottoms most called him Walt. He was the most loving and generous person. He was diagnosed with Bladder cancer in 2008. Had surgery and was cancer free by April 2009. Then in April 2011 the hip pain started. June 21st 2011 was told he had bone cancer. He had radiation treatment on right hip and his neck. After 3rd treatment he was laying in bed at home and had muscle spasm in right leg and it jerked and his hip broke. July 12th he had hip replacement surgery. he finished up his other 7 radiation treatments in between visits to hospital for blood transfusions for low red and white blood counts. We entered hospice program in October just after his 69th birthday. I took care of him day and night. Spent as much time as we could with family and friends. Mostly with our kids who would come visit as often as possible. His Sister Wandola was my rock. It hurt her as much as it did me to see him struggling to stay alive. He always worried about making sure everyone else was alright. Always tried and succeeded in making you smile even through tears. He finally went to Heaven in the early morning hours of December 3rd 2011. Surrounded by a house full of 6 of our children and his 2 brothers and Wandola and 1 son-in-law and 1 sister-in-law. He was definately surrounded by love. And I lost the love of my life. I feel so heart brike and so lonely. I just miss his touch and looking in his eyes and seeing those beautiful blue eyes full of so much love and kindness. He was my world and I just don't know how this hurt is going to go away.....

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
