      I'm sorry you are having such a rough time with your husband's family. Do you own the house or do they? They don't seem to have a "heart" left. They must be blaming your husband's passing on the farm? Well, I'm here and I love you. Gotta get ready for church. Love, Betty

      From bjwcounselor October 6, 2007

      Happy Birthday to you, Sylvia! I know this will be a hard day for you, but please hang in there. You are feeling the deepest grief you can feel after a sudden death....and this is the period when the pain is the most intense. I know in you head you know that, but your heart is still broken, so, please just hang in there and do what you can. Rest awhile and then, go to that harverst deal for your son, not anyone else. If you mother in law is there, be pleasant and just stay as long as you can .....for your son. Then, excuse yourself with something light and come home or go to your girlfriend's house from last night, but if it's uncomfortable for you, you can gracious remove yourself without having them say awful things to you. They just don't sound like they temper anything they say or even think about it so, my take on that is to graciously remove myself and don't let them get to you emotionally, but on your birthday, I'd suggest not being totally alone so the depression doesn't hit again. It's your day so, spend it like you want to. I'm here off and on today so, write back when you can. Lots of love, Betty
