I feel like I had a set back last night. Everything has been moving along ok but I just broke down last night. I felt like the world was closing in on me and I guess just needed to vent. I'm still in a strange mood today but better I guess. I'm working so hard to get ready for winter. I don't have time to do anything but go to work and go home and work. I guess I'm just overd...

My neighber who was a friend of my husbands, fixed the lights on my truck today. Even with his own problems ,health and family, he took the time to do something for me one reason is because he says that my husband would do the same for him ,which is true. He misses my husband something bad, they used to hang out together, fish, hunt play darts, watch tv,just talk about things. My husband to...1 Recommendation2 Comments -

I'm sorry that I haven't written in such a long time. I haven't forgotten about my DS friends, I just haven't felt like I had much to say. Today I'm feeling really sad. My husband's great uncle who is 91 fell and broke his neck. He's paralyzed and they are doing surgery right now to relieve his pain. His wife of 70 years is having such a d...1 Recommendation -

Coming back to this web site is starting to make me feel worse, if that makes any sense. I think because I have so many bad memories to deal with. I don't know if this is good for me. Alot of you had all good memories with your partners but I had mostly bad. For the past 6 weeks I have been working on forgetting. Don't know if this is good for me but it seems to be working.

My daughter, the journeyman Millwright, is just home from her first contract in Fort MacMurray.

I had a bad month couldnt get out of bed, brush my teeth, or change clothes. I even felt I needed to step away from this web site. I was obsessed with it and thoughts of Rich were with me 24 hrs a day. Its weird but I started to force myself not to think about him. Almost forget about him or be mad at him and believe he didn't deserve me. And I deserve better. because it was depress...1 Recommendation3 Comments -

I have pretty much been a basket case. Last week is just a blur to me. I am not functioning very well, do not or just can't seem to do much of anything.

Having had my share of feeling so low a worm could crawl over me without going uphill or down, I know how hard it is to get back up and face the world - esp. knowing that the world is just waiting to knock ya back down again. (sigh - It's the nature of the "beast").

To all of those who share and care about the loved ones that we've all lost...
For all of us to remember them with all of the love in our hearts.
The tears that quench our sadness
For all that used to be;
The aching in our hearts
That no one else can see.
The pain that doesn't go away
For months, it lingers on,
Throbbing to remind us
Of our loved ones who have gone
Onto a place so far away

A song by Josh Groban called "To Where You Are" -
Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile

I came across this poem and thought I would share it with my DS friends.
In Loving Memory of I.M.L.
By Anita Levine, Babylon, N.Y.
This poem is dedicated to the widows of the world
Widowhood makes you know yourself.
It reacquaints you with silence and loneliness.
It floods your soul with despair.
It strikes unexpectedly like a flashing comet.
It creates dark corridors and solitary towers.

"My" Song: Destination Unknown
Thursday, July 24, 2008 |
The lyrics to "Destination Unknown" speak to me on many levels. It is a song of courage..., of going forward with courage and hope.
While my heart still cries out about the past - and it always will, it now sings of a better future yet to come - and these are the words that my heart sings:

Never ask someone why they aren't crying during a heartbreak.
