Lauralee happy anniversary.. hope it was a soft day for you... My second anniversary without Phil is soon (May 1) and I really wonder how it will be. last year was horrid as he had just died  3 weeks prior.  You are in my thoughts today.

adrift - I will pray for you today and for peaceful days to come.  Today is my second wedding anniversary without Robert.  What a huge difference from this time last year and I don't really want to think about how it was the year before that (too painful yet).

Adrift---My heart goes out to you today.  We all know exactly how you feel.   I am going on three years now and although I dont cry every day of the week now--it is still so damn hard.  Next month--May 17 would have been our 44 wedding anniversary.  I still can't believe he is not here.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers today.

adrift I feel your pain and dispair I just hit my one year on April 7th and embarking on year 2 seems at times harder than the year I just got through perhaps cause the reality has set in, fog lifted , I don't know I just know that I feel like you. Don't know how I made it through this year, how I will make it any more years..  I miss him so bad I can't wait to be held in his arms once more... I will be thinking of you today...

It is one year for me at 7:21 pm today. I can't breathe . I wish I could just die and be with him. I am so lonely and sad. How can I face any more years without my best friend , lover and champion . Please pray for md today . Thanks, Jan

Karen... So good to hear there is hope for happiness again. I am in the process of moving, and so hope for a newness that will bring a smile to my face again. I will never forget but so don't want to stay in this state of sadness. I know Ernie would want me to live life and I am trying,and hope this move will help.

Well, I did it - I moved from NC to SC this past weekend.  I arranged for the movers, I managed everything, I bought a house (sight unseen), I moved my equines, dogs and a cat......I did it all.  I never would have thought this possible a few years ago, but over the past year and a half - since Dana first noticed his back pain which turned out to be the beginning of the end - I have done many things I never thought possible.  I'm not trying to brag or pat myself on the back, I'm just saying that there is life after death for those of us left behind.

I have met just about all my close neighbors, and they are wonderful - several widows and divorcees - all friendly and interested.  I have been in this house only three days, and yet I've had several visitors.  I was in my NC house for nearly ELEVEN YEARS, and I can count on one hand the visitors I had, even from people who claimed to be friends.

I love it here!  I love my neighbors!  I love my water pressure!  I love the neighborhood!  I love my house!  I love the area!  I made a good decision.  I honestly think I will be happy again.  Maybe not the way I was happy in my marriage, but happy in my new life.  I feel safe.  I feel content.  I feel accomplished.  Karen
