Thank you for your friend request, MDK, and thank you for your kind words.  This torturous journey gets a little bit softer when others understand our pain and sadness.  Take care

Well, I hope things will get better.  Tomorrow is the five month mark for me, and I'm having an especially hard time with it all.  Add to that problems with family and friends, and it's overwhelming lately.  I would very much like to be happy.  I'm trying.

Thanks for adding me as a friend.  I love your photos, by the way.  I wish I had some more of Dana and me, but I have just a few.  We were so busy taking pix of the grandchildren that we never thought about us.  Always thought there would be time, you know.  Again, thanks, and I hope you will keep in touch.  Karen

Just noticed you're on the birthday list!  Hope you've had a really good day today. Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday. :D

Thank you so much for the lovely welcome. I'm glad to be in a place where others understand. The loneliness and feelings of isolation are tough to bear.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful wife. Cancer is a monster. :-(

Thank you for the kind welcome. I feel like I've been to hell and back,or maybe I'm still there.I'm the first of our friends to claim the widow title. I think everyone is afraid of me now like I'm going to spread this  disease of widowhood.So sorry about your wife.Cancer is so evil.Thank God they are in a better place.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm so sorry for your loss as well. You're right, 12 years wasn't enough but I thank God everyday for the time I did have with him and the 2 boys he left behind. Thanks for your support :)

Thanks for your comment. Yes, it's good to have others to journey with. And, no need for magical words. The words I spill out are ones that are deep within and help in the healing process I'm finding out. It's just who you choose to spill them out to and that is what is so great about WV.

Yes, Dave and I enjoyed so much of the outdoors. We went on several road trips early in our marriage, camping and backpacking. So I am thankful for those memories.

I had belonged to a spousal caregiver support group prior to Dave's death and it was a saving grace! I see WV as the same type of resource right now. My saving grace where I can pour out my feelings and sorrow and receive healing while doing so.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Your departed wife is so beautiful. ((((Hugs)))) to you today. Take care.
