Comment by janet on July 8, 2012 at 5:59pm Emy, I am truly sorry for your loss. I to am glad that you have found this site and please keep coming to chat. It has been a live saver for me.
@ deneice, I understand how hard these first can be for all of us. Sunday, July 1st was the 9 month mark for me. This past week has been extremely hard for me. I to don't see this month getting much better as this is also the same month I lost my dad 24 years ago and 1 month from today would have been husband's 59th birthday.
Prayers and ((((HUGS)))) to all.

Comment by lovealways on July 8, 2012 at 11:41am Emy, My husband also passed away from blood clot complications. He passed away at age 29 on May 23, 2012. What has been helping me a lot is working with the national blood alliance, stoptheclot.org by learning, educating and helping to plan memorial events it makes me feel like hes still here. I cant bring him back but there is a great since of pride and comfort in knowing that his story will save lives.
I know we dont know each other but I have lots of time on my hands too if you ever want to talk.
Hugs Emy. So sorry for your loss.

My husband of 42 years died suddenly on April 7th this saturday will be 3 months and I am so glad for this site. the month of July is extrememly hard for me as it is the month that I am off of work I am an administrative secretary for a school and this is the month that he and I would be together 24/7 I am not doing so well this week and the month has just begun.. so glad you found us here but so sorry for the reason you found us. Hope you have some soft days. know you can share anything here tears,screams, joys, sadness. we are here. some of us have traveled this journey and are a huge help to us new at this.

Comment by Emy on July 6, 2012 at 7:29pm i am trying to hold on, take one day at a time. My dear husband died June 2nd of a pulmonary embolism. Out of nowhere. This is during a time in which we are both unemployed. <sigh>
Being alone with this raw sadness has given me horrible bad days. I thank God that I found this site. People here have been so kind and helpful. I know I can come here when I'm feeling close to the edge.

Comment by chez2all on July 5, 2012 at 4:34pm Hi Ann,
I have a few feelers out. Thank you for your suggestions, I'll look into it. My daughters are finding things rough at the moment too and I've been trying to help them but so far the counselors we've found haven't been very helpful...good with platitudes...but not helpful.
My next stop will be the hospice where my first husband died...maybe they can recommend...
