I love going through the forum and reading the stories. They have helped me so much, and give me a lot to think about. So here's just some of my thoughts. When my husband was first diagnosed and I…Continue

"Those are normal, in my opinion, they happen more times than not, because most are scared of being called emotional or crazy. They are real.Just as signs are real.Many are awakened Spiritually after losing someone, for me it was before for…"

"I've had what I think are dream visits often. What's even more strange is that my stepdaughter and I have started to compare dreams and within (most of the time) she will have almost the same dream, well at least we have each woke up…"

"Hopesmom:
I had a co worker that experienced a hug from her deceased husband when she was awake. She said it was very real, I know her and believe her. I have experienced other types of "occurrences" with my wife. The primary one (which I…"

Hopesmom replied to Canshifter's discussion What is the most insensitive thing someone has said to you about your loss?
"My step son and I were having words and he told me I should be past it and had no right to still feel this way. Needless to say I said "Whoa" right there, I told him nobody has the right to tell me how to feel."
Hopesmom replied to Lostandlonely's discussion Has anyone else gotten worse as time goes by?
"I'm having more trouble now 14 months out. I have gone back to counseling. I have always been strong , so I'm trying to find that, and some level of happiness. Its easier for me to take direction from someone else than from myself.…"
Hopesmom replied to Rainy (Misty)'s discussion What is going on with the shifting of emotions?
"Man do I know how you feel. I have also shut myself away from people. I didn"t do it on purpose. I have lots of good days but I also think I'm putting it on the back burner so it sometimes sneaks up and overwhelms me. Just hang on baby!"

"Oh Barbee, what a nightmare! It’s not only widows but widowers, or anyone older and alone are all vulnerable. Hard to believe there are people capable of doing things like this. So often, I read in the paper stories about elderly people…"
Callie2 replied to Hopesmom's discussion relationships after
"Maybe I look at the situation differently, but it is no secret that widows are quite vulnerable. For someone to make a move so quickly on her, makes me wonder about his intentions. Something similar happened to a friend of mine a year or so…"

"My husband has been gone just over a year. In my bathroom shower is a washrag he hung there, I have no idea how long I'll leave it there. I guess I'm just trying to hold on to a piece of him. Oh yeah, I also have a hair tie with a few…"

"Hi,
When Susan passed, I camped out here in WV ( the winter snows were so bad it was unsafe to drive the 100 miles over the passes into Denver) and when the snows abated, I joined a Grief Group in Denver. I was shocked one meeting when one of…"

Being alone/unwed takes time to adjust to. Widow brain drastically interferes w/any type of clear head decision making. Many widowed either deny or do not believe they have widow brain. In…"
