Karla,

I lost my husband of 14.5 years this past October and I am still i the denial stage. Don't beat yourself up for still being in denial because you were/are at a distance- being physically closer to the location doesn't necessarily help. Look how physicially close with my husband I was and I honsestly still answer questions like he was still here- ex: last night my son said he was going to set the alarm clock but it looked like someone already did and my immediate response was "son, maybe daddy did it before going to bed." That response just came out almost automatically and felt so natural. But only you can know what may or may not work for you. Good luck and I'll be praying for you.

My best friend of 39 years died suddenly this past June...she lived in another province so her funeral was there (we had a memorial for her in her hometown) and her kids and husband live away. I feel so removed and in denial because of the distance...would visiting her home make it feel more real to me? I am not in the acceptance stage yet...

I also today mailed out a copy of my husband's obituary and funeral card to the parents of one of his old friends. When we first meet he had a couple of really good friends they were the definition of blood brothers. Then somethings happened that got between them and as much as my husband loved them and wished to have them back in his life - they were now seperated. The parents weren't in the middle of the issues so they still would speak with us when running into each other but not free-willed at their house like use to be. But something just told me that they didn't know what happened and they deserved to so I needed to mail these to the parents which was the only contact I had at my disposal.

Sandy,

Thanks. Yeah- the first day I feel I can actually get up and do something productive I fall and bust my a! Thankfully nothing broken so it was just muscle which as many know can feel even worse- but getting better. My son just seems to be getting angrier and angrier. There are times he's his old self- but then he just starts acting out- there are times I feel like he hates me (I do know better but that is such a horrible feeling). I got a book the other day I am starting to read about the "wild child and puberty" and got him a book about dealing with grief which I pray he actually reads. So, as of now life pretty much stinks.

I'm sorry for everyone's loss. I pray we all find a way to come through this...not sure how but I hope.

Hey Karen T., so sorry never saw the post that you fell, I'm so sorry...that SUCKS! Hope you are feeling a little better.  I think if you need the meds to feel better then that is all that matters.  How is your son doing now?

I'm so sad...missing my nephew. Was with his daughter, my great niece. She reminds me of her dad. It's hard to accept he's gone but he is and my heart is broken in two.

Hi PJ,

In a strange world, we are walking side by side. I lost my husband 4 months ago almost exactly. I don't know waht I can do much to help you as I am here for the same reason. My husband suffered frm a disc disease in his spine. He actually was let go of his job because he couldn't or wouldn't (male ego) make it through He was on an exorbanent amount of pain neds also. Then, his doctor referred him to someone else to put a morphint tube into him which I don't j=how much you know about those but this woudl take him off his pills and then when he would need to he would push the button again for a low dose directly into his blodod sream so he wouldn'e have to wake up to much to go or eait to late because of picking up medicine. One thing you will learn as I did today that people look at you like a criminal becuase of what you are only on one (sorry not sure if you are on meds but just to share) they gave me a waker muscle relexer and said they could do no pain meds mecause of wait I as already on. Swear, not loking to pain jump or anything like tht, I just needed something to help even if just a muscle pain. All I know is I can barely move, but I willdo s=as directed and if I get someone new then it happens.

Thanks for listening to me ramable on and on Jon-Paul. Just wanted to addd that you will feel right wha=it comes.
