"Well, I made it through the three month anniversary of Richard's death. It wasn't near as bad as I had anticipated as usual. I cried a little in the morning around the time he passed three months ago but the rest of the day I…"

I have a rough week coming up. Richard passed away on Sunday, January 15, 2012. This Sunday, April 15, 2012 will be the three month Anniversary. Also April 19th is our wedding anniversary. It would have been 38 years. I am praying for Gods strength to get me through it. It hurts already so I am anticipating more pain but I do know that sometimes when I anticipate like that my anticipation is worse that the pain when the time actually comes. We will see.

job4348 said… Bonnie, As you can imagine there are quite a few of us doting grandmothers here. I'm sure AJ is a lot of comfort to you --they are so cute at that age !
I have five grands-James(21),Kaylan(18), Gabriel(6),Nicklas(6) and Joshus(3). The first three I get to see a lot but the last two are in NC about hour and half drive away. Gabriel stayed with me last night-he has been needing to be with me more(I think he knows that the date(3/20) is very close. Nothing like those little arms hugging you and hearing 'I love you" to perk you up.
I don't know your circumstances and if you want to talk go ahead,we all know the feelings of sadness that can swallow you whole.
My husband(Jerry) had COPD and was sick for a while and as with a lot of others I was not only his wife but his caregiver. We where together almost 43yrs(4/28 is our annisvery).
I have come a long way and feel a lot of it is due to the caring that the people here give so freely.
Take care of yourself,Brenda

Hi BonnieR , May name is Brenda-so sorry you are joining us but you really will find comfort here. I know sounds kind of imposible, but it is true.
Was just wondering who that adorable little guy was sitting beside you? And you put Craftybee as a screen name are you a crafter? I do a lot of sewing -mostly like making doll clothes. Silly but I enjoy it.
Maybe we can get to know each other a little and if I can help any just ask.
Take care of yourself,Brenda
