"I stopped wearing my wedding ring about a month or so ago it was not fitting well, and it really just idn't feel right. I still wear my engagement ring on my right hand where I always wore it. I miss it, but it feels false to wear it."

"I agree with Joyce, you did it, oh yes, and the two glasses of wine idea is a good one too. :-) Yay you!!!"

tonight is one of those important ones that i can hardly believe he will not be here for. i am being inducted into the Connecticut Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. everyone important in my life will be there. he will not. i am dreading it on so many levels. i hate talking about myself (have to give an acceptance speech); i hate having my picture taken (there will be many) and he was my coach (my last year in high school). he should be here. he really should. and i can't not mention him,…

my oldest childhood friend is flying me for the week to sanibel island in FL to get away and relax, she will be there with her partner (whom i have yet to meet, they live in Idaho). so traveling alone for the first time. not even sure what to think or how to feel. i am looking forward to relaxing and maybe reading a bit (I have finally started to be able to read again). not going somewhere i have been before or ken has been before with or without me, i guess that's good/better. the whole…

My son, came home from his new job and he loves it. He is so happy and so pleased with himself. I am so happy for him and at the same time so sad. The only other person In the world I could hare this with is gone. The tough times are hard alone, but the good things are just heartbreaking alone.

our house, well, our home, is on the market, got great response from the broker's open and already have 2 families coming to see it. i think if it sells quickly (although how lucky would that be) i will have a full blown anxiety attack.
my son, who is at home, just told me how weird it is to see a for sale sign on our property - brought me to tears.
how did i get here?

Lisa said… Thanks for the welcome Heather. I am sorry for your loss which if I am reading this right was very, very recent. The first couple of months even though I thought I was doing quite well, I realized later how much of a fog I really was in but it sure didn't seem like it at the time. Take Care of yourself!
