I'm also an RN since 1980 too. My son died on February 8th of this year. I'm also thinking about retiring... No purpose in my life anymore. I always loved my job, but no one wants a "sad" nurse to take care of them.
Its been one month and a few days since my soul mate passed a way i miss him daily i keeping excepting him to come through the door anytime but I know he wont I have been trying to b brave but Im not this getting up and trying to do normal stuff i hard much less take care of every thing that the loved ones left behind has to do is almost impossable
I know exactly what your daughter is going through as well. I watched my dad stop eating and drinking and went from 250 to 150 pounds. When he broke his arm is when we had a filling he was really ill never thought he had cancer. I had to dress him and help him in the shower. I was the only person that could put his sling on right. He waited until I got home to take a shower and get ready for the rest of the day. I miss him so much! No one understands me! I have been going to counseling lately and they aren't really helping. I haven't been going to school because I just don't feel good. I have been physically and mentally sick. I've gone to my doctors and they just want me to go to counseling and get medicine to push me through to get better so I can finish my last year in high school but the counseler has been telling me to just write my feeling down in a book or write him a letter. But that doesn't help me either. I just want me to be happier and be able to go to school.
that's the only reason I get out of bed to is bc I know up in heaven looking down on me n saying get up baby try to be happy bc that was all he every wanted for me n my son to of course bc he lives here in town if I ignore his phone calls or texts n he can come bc he working he send of of his friends over I know most of them since they were little since we lived here for the past 22 yrs but I do own my house out right now this paid it off n I did turn my husband into 5 diamonds n my last anniversary ring so in away he always be with me
I don't really how to comfort myself much less any body else all I know is I feel like God robbed me there are so many bad people out there why could he take one of them instead of your or my husband who were good people trying to do the best they could I feel lonely I have never worked outside of our home we suppose to have it all instead God took him n left me here I know my husband for 32 yrs we dated 5 were married 27 bc he passed away Dec 6 n our anniversary is or I guess the proper word would be was Dec 27 th n we would have been happily married 28 yrs we had concert tickets I gave them to my son even though I wanted to see Ron White for several years I this could go
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
This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Late February is a challenging time of year for me. Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly. This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More

Fran,
Thank you for your support and kind words. It helps. And I know to that with time, things will get better; for me and my family.
