laps

I swam laps in the pool early this evening.........hard laps. Angry laps, then sad laps. It all ended in tears. At least I got some exercise!
Lately, days with Patrick's children end in tears because I'm really sad and angry that he's missing them. He's missing the delight that I'm experiencing with his children. It's getting to me. Patrick couldn't believe that he was having a girl and today, with Reese, all I could think of is Patrick laughing while her and I paint each others…

My heart is breaking as I realize that Father's Day looms!
My "Dear Ole Dad" is recently gone and my husband's death still reveals
an emptiness that hurts deeply.
Then comes the realization of the loss of my oldest…

I take things in much deeper now that I've experienced the loss of my husband and son. My joys are so much greater but my suffering seems more excruciating. My heart bleeds for others like never before and the pain that others are going through touches me deeply. I guess that's the way God intended it.
My third grandchild was born at the end of April and what a marvel it was to experience her coming into the world. She's absolutely beautiful (if I do say so myself!) and her…

I know people expect me to be heading back to normal and I was for almost a week I think, but it hit me like a ton of bricks just getting ready for the day and I broke down crying in the closet and have had a hard time stopping. I don't know if I will ever feel ok again

Thanks so very much for the welcome. I became a widow on December 21, 2011 after my husband's 2 year struggle with lung cancer. Against all advice, I sold my home in N.C., packed up and moved back to N.Y. to be closer to family. Though some days are still quite a struggle, I feel that I'm doing OK. I'm happy that I found this website.
