"Here's my wish for a calm and peaceful 2013 for all of us who lost someone in the past 3 years. This holiday season, the 3rd without Ray, has been more difficult than any of the previous. There are many reasons, and I'm thinking that…"
Navillus commented on Cristina's event Billie's and my 4th anniversary, and my sister Wendelin's passing, today
"My thoughts and feelings are with you today. I'm very aware of my husband's absence today, and in recent days. Another loss would be so difficult. May 2013 bring you more peace in your heart!"

"It's really interesting to see how differently everyone is about moving or staying in the same house. Everything in this house reminds me of my husband in a good way, and I don't want to move out of the house. Except...it's way to big…"

Navillus commented on Supa Dupa Fresh's group Long-term illness
"I have been reading the many posts on this group the past week or so. Sometimes I want to reply, but then can't get myself started typing. It's reassuring - weird - to hear that everyone else is going through similar things. It's…"
Navillus commented on Supa Dupa Fresh's group Long-term illness
"Wow, so many comments that made me want to post something! It's been over 2 years since my husband died of throat cancer. I still have to resist the fear that I have cancer every time I develop any kind of symptom. It's better now, but…"

Navillus commented on Supa Dupa Fresh's group Long-term illness
"Cristina - my husband had throat cancer. Diagnosed originally as Stage 1 in one vocal cord. He had radiation - 2 years later cancer returned and he had laser surgery to avoid having vocal cords removed. 1 year later it returned again and he had a…"

"It does take time, and even the comments from those of us who are going through it too may sound like they don't help. But from one day to the next it can improve. Maybe we think it sounds like "whining" or "feeling sorry for…"
