perdi177 replied to dadoffour (Floyd)'s discussion Do/did you put your grieving on hold or change the way you needed to be to accommodate others?

Pursuit of life during the holidays
I decided to take a break after a breakdown taking down my son's crib, aversion of setting up a printer and reorganizing this house in the 24 hours that my mom has given to me. Thoughts are roaring through my head.

I'm jealous and superior at the same…See More

Dianne in Nevada said… - Welcome to Widowed Village, perdi. I see you've already jumped into some of the forum discussions.

Try out the chat room sometime - there's great fun over there, especially on the weekends (it's nice to be able to laugh here sometimes, too). Just immerse yourself in all that this special place offers. I look forward to getting acquainted with you here in Widville.
