"Lonelygirl, I know what you mean. I am trying to make my way after 3 1/2 years and am going back to school, volunteering, raising my 3 boys, etc. Sometimes I just think that I am doing "busy" work to avoid the daily living…"

"Hi cutie, I'm also sorry for your loss. What you are going through is very normal. It is very difficult trying to be a single mother, especially when it is not the choice that we made. If there is anything I can do please let…"

"Wow, it's really awesome that you are able to enjoy who you are and be proud of who you've become. It's not easy to do but so very important if we are to "move on". I am doing things I never would have imagined in my…"

"@carolynne72, I still call my in-laws "in-laws". In many ways they are more my family than my own family is. It can be confusing for others but I don't know how else to refer to them. Generally I tell people that I became…"

"Most of my anger comes from my husband choosing to take his own life and leaving me alone to raise 3 boys. I agree that I don't think the anger ever really goes away, I think it lessens over time like the grief does.
@crying, right…"

"So, it's been 3 years and 5 months since my husband committed suicide. We are celebrating my boys' 3rd birthdays without their father. I am finding that I am angrier now than I have been in a LONG time. I'm angry at…"

"Oh, I am so sorry. I can't even imagine the pain you must feel. Yes, Miranda is your first child and she will always be. You need to realize that it takes time to understand those minute details. You have hit a new stage…"

stephenkansas said… Thanks for the nice note Kerri....and for your kind words about the "letter". Even though I'm putting a lot of work into my own grief...I'm finding that if any of it is helpful to others it makes me feel good.
I hope we can be "friends" here. I live in Leawood....people tend to have a better sense where Overland Park is on the map, so most of the time I just tell people I live there. It's almost across the street anyway.
