I just had a week off for Spring Break. I traveled to Pennsylvania to see some family and my ailing stepmother.I had not seen most of my family for 2 1/2 years.

All they did was tell themselves how great I'm doing. I feel more support here on this site than I do with my siblings, who are aware of my poor financial and…

My brother told me it's time for me to find…

I never noticed that there were so many couples in my local grocery store. When Kevin was alive I never noticed. Right after he died, I went for groceries at the store I had shopped in for 30 years and it seemed everyone had a partner or spouse at Kroger except me. The piped in music was an old James Taylor song we used to love and I just fell apart in the dairy section. Funny thing, no one came near me, people gave me a very wide berth! After that episode, which happened five years…
