John's Passing--First Anniversary--a Celebration at In My Heart
June 2, 2013 all day
A year ago my John went ahead to the next chapter of life. A year of pain, a year of struggle, but also a year of celebration. I do not mourn his death, I celebrate his LIFE. His life did not end that day, it began as something new.I will raise a glass to you, my John. I am so PROUD of you, proud of what you were and what you ARE.See More

Wayne's One Year Angel Anniversary at New Jersey
May 20, 2013 from 6am to 11pm
It's been one year since my darling Wayne earned his angel wings. To honor him we are "Paying it forward for Wayne" If you'd like do something good for someone in need. Maybe walk an elderly gentleman across the street. Or call a friend with whom you've lost touch. Or maybe just smile at someone new that day. If you'd like , you can let me know about it. (I have to thank Kelley Lynn for this idea :) Hugs to all See More

"I agree with your description. Some days are fine and then some nights, like the last few, I'm in bed by 8:30 and I'm just so exhausted and I miss my husband so much. ((hugs))"

Jud at In My Heart
April 29, 2013 all day
It is hard to believe but this is Jud's second birthday in the afterlife. I think the "missing' is more "raw" this year. Last year, I was knee-deep in fixing a breaking-down home and somewhat numb. This year I am feeling great loss. I know you all "get it."Would appreciate your prayers and good thoughts.My dear kind Jud, I miss you and will always love you!See More

Old Friends
Posted on November 24, 2012 at 4:22pm 9 Comments 2 Likes
I've been having a bit of a rough time for the past few days. Thanksgiving wasn't too bad in and of itself. My mother and I ate lunch with my grandmother (aged 94) and two of her friends (aged 98 and 102). My mother was the only non-widow at the table. We never really had a big celebration and we never had dinner at our house, so I was spared that emotional minefield - only to be hit by a different one driving to my mother's.
On the radio I heard the Simon and Garfunkel song "Old…

I said goodbye to my houses today. They're both slated to close in the next 10 days which will be a huge relief to me financially if it all goes through as planned, but today when I finished up with them I was sobbing.
It is so incredibly difficult to let go of these physical manifestations of the dreams I had for our future. The house we were rennovating was supposed to be the one we grew old together in. Corey never even got to see it finished because he died before it was done. …

This is one of my favourite photos of Corey and one of the most bittersweet for me because I know it was taken the last time he was truly happy. His contentment and happiness just radiate from the photo. We spent the week before Memorial Day 2010 in Colorado skiing at Arapahoe Basin. This had been…

I had meant to write this before C's bday, but never quite got it out.
For those who have cared for a loved one with a serious illness, there is no way you can forget that person's birthdate. I can't even begin to tally how many times I had to give his name and birthdate to the endless stream of nurses, doctors, PA's, LPNs, dieticians, respiratory therapists, priests/rabbis, physical therapists, transport staff, IR staff, social workers, secretaries, and likely even some cleaning…

Hi Liza.... I should be there for the 4:00 pool party. I imagine there shouldn't be that many people there, but I will sure keep an eye out for you. I am staying with another WV lady named Mariann Goff (smallfish) and our room is in her name. How are you getting to Myrtle Beach?

Just today, had a big event at my house - the oneyear anniversary of his death -- I said an "open house" for a few friends and there were about 50 people here! He would have loved it - always had folks in our home -- if you met him once he was your friend for life...

SpiritWalker said… Hi telechick..ur doing good. Just a few months out and your stepping out and exploring that takes courage and strength. We have all heard the one about the journey of a thousand miles...Its starts one step at a time. It took me awhole year to move my wifes shoes out of the living room, just couldn't move em. But there were somethings that i could do quickly..dug through everything and packed it up shortly after...but couldn't move them dang shoes. Keep on trucking and when or if you hit a wall..take however much time you need it will be waiting for you when you get back to it. I have found in this grief thing that how we feel and behave is so selective, each to thier own and nothing more. So follow where your heart leads you and you will find your path whatever that is...I like your comments..they're very enlighting..Hugs
