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…

Ocean Breeze said… Hello there! Thank YOU for adding me as a friend and making me feel welcome on this site.... So where abouts are you in California????? I am in Patterson....

amatxlatina said… Thank you, so much for welcoming me. I have always been the strong one to bounce back, with my friends passing, uncles, even my mother, but losing Charles is a thousand times worse. 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

MrsForever25 said… Thank you so much for welcoming me. You're family is beautiful. So sorry for your losses. My heart breaks at the thought of all you have gone through.
Wishing you peace and comfort as you continue this journey...having a place like this to come to helps us realize we are never lone.

zoesarah said… 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.

RendezvouswithMe said… Thank you so very much. My husband went home on December 24, 2006 (two years before, on March 1, 2004, I lost my son). Loosing my husband was the worst thing I ever felt in my life - it cause more grief then even loosing my son. I keep trying to figure out what to do with myself

shequilts said… Thanks for the welcome. I have been a widow since December 5, 2009. My husband, then 67, was working at his computer and we were laughing over a joke when he suddenly passed away before my eyes. While I think that I am recovering slowly, there are many days when I am not. I smile, I laugh and I do for others but the pain never really goes away. I am happy to have found this site. The biggest support I feel I get is from other widows.

coley1010 said… Thank you for the welcome. I lost my husband On April 3rd 2013. About 3 1/2 years ago he spent a year in the hospital waiting for a heart transplant he received it in July 2009. In the begining of March he was admitted to the hospital for pancreantitis and he got well and came home about a week later he still did not feel well and he was re-admitted and the infection was to much for him as he was imunosupressed from his anti-rejection drugs. It was a shock. We have one daughter who is 11. I am glad i found this site.
Rea said… Hello Martha, Thanks so much for your warm welcome. I lost my husband Jan. 4, 2013 to a massive heart attack in his sleep. Although I'm seeing a counselor and I'm sure she's highly trained, I just go through the motions during our sessions. I'm glad I found your site and looking to visting often.
