"Irishlady have you thought of getting another furbaby? I lost mine 2 months after I lost my husband. It was cruel. I had him for 11 years, raised him from 8 weeks old, and it was fairly sudden. I lost him in July and I got another dog in September.…"

I just started my second year of grief. The only difference is it is not as fierce this time. I do not think I am going to die. I realize I will live another year through the grief without him. Grief will not kill you. It only feels like it will.

However I still find myself screaming into my pillow at times. I have done pretty much nothing people told me to do and stumbled around and did things my own way. I came…

I have been trying to close on a house. The only thing I needed was a deposit from my military pay. I gave it to them on the 1st of…
