35 years
Theirs alot to be said about moving on .My wife passed away May 26,2012 I was married 35 yrs.I was married to a very possessive domineering woman .she made the decisions in the family.We never had any kids a son on her side.She was mean and vindictive and would go into a rage over things I did or son did. Their was love between us. I never did learn to stand up for my rights or have a good strong personality. So I coped between drinking,and a lot of other behavior.She would kick me out and I would develop all sorts of methods to cope.
I adopted a cat from the animal shelter I love that cat.
I have developed one way to beat back depression by laying down in bed and napping when possible.I have a sensitivity to people dying. You hear about people dying all the time . So I have thought to live each day to the fullest.Life is short.
Iam not happy. I would like to tell my therapist to screw himself. Iam bitter I have two companions come over,$19.30 an hr So I try. I pay alot for these things including massage therapy. So life goes on .Today I have gone to a senior center. Whoopee!!
Where Iam typing this. I find when I pull my head out of ass and do things ,move ahead things improve somewhat. Iam haunted by my inner voice telling to go to the gym SCREW! the gym Iam trying to get in the habit.

HI David
Adopting a cat is great. We have always had dogs and now birds as well. I don't know what I would have done this past year since my husband died had I not had the family of animals. Unfortunately, Jordan's dog Beau died last Thursday. He was a beautiful dog in looks and in nature. He chose Jordan 14 years ago by jumping up on the couch at the breeders and never left his side until Jordand died last June. The nurses even let Beau up on the bed on Jordan's last day to say goodby. I was just starting to feel not too bad with the grieving thinkg but Beaus death has pulled the rug from under me and I'm back to noty doing so well. I hope it is temporary.

Dark Night and Day of the Soul
Hello Morgan, Bluebird, Linda at al. I'm sorry it has been so awfully long since my last contact. A Year? I have always read the posts, though and have felt the same horrible burning pain I have the last, nearly 5 years since Nancy left me. I have had a couple of tia's including a lengthy bout of "aphasia". It was almost comedic as I couldn't talk but kept trying to tell the emt's which hospital to drop me at. This year, I have come to the concludion will be my year, 2020 will be the year I…See More

I just wish I could have died with Julian. Like you, everyday I just go through motions. I am blessed with my Sweet Dog, Babie J. I am living for her. She now has dementia and it is so sad to watch her declining. She has been by side…"

Over the years I have thought that Bluebird gets it much more than almost everyone who has written about this - at least from my point of view. At the root of this, I think, it's the absence of their presence that hurts so much. I…"
