Spring

Dearest Denny.....
As we slide into march, I become acutely aware that we approach the anniversary of your transition to your new existence. 12 months ago we tearfully prepared for your anticipated departure. I clung as would a spoiled child to a favorite toy. But you deftly slipped my grasp........and I was left with tears, rage, loneliness and anxiety. Now I know that you had to go.......that a wonderous existence was waiting........you are finally able to explore the universe as it was… Continue

If Winter Comes.....

How strange, this quiet house of mine. Christmas music softly in the background....I had worried that the sounds of my favorite melodies would send me careening over the edge of fresh grief.....but instead the familiar music and words brought a quiet smile to me. I put up the tree, remembering Denny's struggle last year to place ornaments just so.....he was a perfectionist.........and though pain stabbed at his back....his delight in having the tree was so obvious. A few gifts sit under the… Continue

Dear Denny....
One full season has passed since you left this world of pain for your new existence in the next realm. It was on the first full day of spring that you slipped your earthly bonds to begin new extraordinary adventures. It was a beautiful, clear, warm New England day.....winter had relinquished her icy grip rather reluctantly......and the sun shone on your beautiful spirit. The garden stretched and yawned into wakefulness...the clematis bloomed gloriously, and the peonies… Continue

Life in the house
Posted on June 30, 2012 at 11:47pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
There is a new little life in our house. Bishop, an 8 week old collie puppy is now a permanent resident. Still soft, with his puppy fur, oversize paws ( he's going to be large)' striking color, he gives me joy and something to wake up for again. Who knew? Molly, my tonkinese cat, is not quite sure of this intruder....but he will win her heart as he won mine.
New life....after so many months of watching one spark slowly go out........could this little fur ball be my guide out of the… Continue

lovie said… Cc, thanks for the friend request. I so remember those first months and how I survived them I really do not know. I was not aware of Widowed Village until a few months ago and wish I had had a similar place to visit during my first year. I am near three years widowed (September 17, 2009) and I never thought that I could be where I am today. God and time have been my salvation. I literally ache when I read of those in the agonizing pain and sorrow that I felt initially. So I hope that I can offer hope that grief can be processed and it can be overcome. We will always miss our loved one, but life can once again be enjoyable. You can take their memory with you and live again. I think the true appreciation of life and how it should never be taken for granted can actually make this second part of our lives a little more precious. Are you ging to Camp Widow West? I am and look forward to personally met so many of the people I have met here. Take care and wishing the best for you as you move forward in this difficult first year. If I can help in any way, do not hesitate to contact me. Tiffany

Suz said… Jud was a behavioral and developmental pediatrician and did a fellowship in Boston four years ago. We spent five months there and had a fabulous time. What a great area! Carol, I, too, return to an empty house. I can't believe how different it feels. I miss his "energy' and I will still have the feeling that he will walk through the door. I hate walking in and I have to force myself to go to sleep. I have one daughter who is thirty-two (I hope she will marry her boyfriend and give me grandchildren). I am lucky in that she lives here but she is busy with her life and job, too. I am lucky to have two dogs but I think I am getting a little nutty. I talk to them a lot ;-) I used to be a school psychologist but the fibro ended that.You are right that I totally ignored my own medical needs. Especially during the last month when he was really sick. Adrenaline is a great pain killer.
So glad you are here!
Hugs,
Suz
