Profile Information

About Me:
Recently widowed mother of four plus two step-kids. Struggling to put the pieces of my life and my children's lives while coping with the loss of my soul mate.
About my Loss:
My sweetheart and I had been married 9 1/2 years. Since May of 2003 we have dealt with many illnesses from sudden onset of heart failure from a viral infection. He received a heart transplant at Ochsner Clinic Foundation in New Orleans
on Feb. 8, 2005. He fought to survive and lost both of his parents, his father passed away in March 2005, and his mother passed away from cancer in 2008. He was an amazing person, and an amazing father and husband. I am lost without him, and all my will to fight was lost when I lost him- to sudden cardiac arrest, on Dec. 6, 2009.

Vicki I am here for you. It is terrible to lose our loved ones. I am still in shock not knowing what to do with myself. My husband Vern and I have been dealing with his illness for 6 years. now there is just emptiness. I am mad about how we were treated at the transplant center, we had such incompetent uncaring transplant coordinators and support staff. Vern had his first transplant in 2007 at a differnt transplant center and because our insurance changed we needed to go elsewhere for medical care. vern died during his surgery and we were given more support from the first transplant center than the one where he died. I am angery that Vern was insignificant to them.

"Welcome to the group.  I lost my partner on February 5th this year, so it's still pretty raw for me too.  Reading through your story really touched a chord with me.  Like you, I didn't think I would ever find a group like…"

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
