Dusty, just wanted to say hello, I haven't been on WV that much lately, but your "Note to self", is one that I have seen pop up in your comments many times since I joined WV, and it always brings me comfort when I see it. Congratulations on your award...and hugs.

Your last two comments brought tears, Dusty... I love what you shared about your grandson and about the Christmas card! Thank you.

Dusty, tomorrow will be a year since my husband of 33 years died from an accident at work.  I plan to go out to dinner with my two children and their spouses.  Not sure how that will go....but we'll go somewhere Scott loved.  I miss him terribly.

Dusty--I read your post about your billing fiasco.  I was still trying to rectify all the bills one year after my husband passed.  I even got a statement from the oncology office billing me for an office visit for a day he was in the hospital.  Every time I tried dealing with it and had to explain my husband was gone---I cried.  It is just so hard.  Eventually it was all resolved, what frustrated me was the lack of compassion by drs. offices and their billing services.

Ted died Feb 25, so it's been 7 months for me. At the moment, I'm not in as much of a fog. But I did spend all day in bed yesterday. I couldn't get warm. Solved that problem this morning. I built a fire in the woodstove. Just a small one to take off the chill. It's suppose to get up to 85 this afternoon.

Hello Dusty.  I am so sorry for your loss.  I never really know what to say but welcome to  this site.  It is so very hard for people who have not lost their significant other to understand what your going through.  People here all have lost their love and understand. I lost my husband April 8.  I found this site in May.  All I can say is there are a lot of people here who help me.  For that I will be eternally grateful. When you are ready, read a blog, write a blog or join in the chat.   If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  I will do my best to help you.  I will send you a friend request, if you wish you can accept.
