A Happy, Sad Day
My husband, George passed away on February 7, 2011 from stomach cancer and just a few hours before he passed our daughter found out she was pregnant but didn't get to tell her Dad. This morning a lovely little baby girl came into this world. To see George leave this world and a new life come into this world within a short…
On the grief and bereavement bandwagon
Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since my father lost his 22 month long battle with Stage 4 Colon Cancer. The last two weeks have had a range of emotions. Some days I can get up and moving and others, well as I write this at the lunchhour, I'm still in my pj's- and will be leaving soon to go to the courthouse to file my father's…
I Am In The Light
A shadow of joy flickered; it is me. I told you I wouldn't leave. My memories, my thoughts are imbedded deep in your heart. I still love you. Do not for one moment think that you have been abandoned. I am in the Light. In the corner, in the hall, the car, the yard ~ these are the places I stay with you. My spirit rises…
FML
Usually, I do a pretty good job of hiding the fact that I am miserable 98% of the time. The other 2% I'm either sleeping or all the way in the bag. But today I can't. I can't hide the fact that I am miserable and the one person who would truly notice isn't here. Yes, he would b!tch at me, but still he would notice and I…
It's been 7 years. I miss her so much.
It was my Birthday yesterday, just turned 20 years old. It was just like any other day really. To be honest, all of my best birthdays were before I turned 13 because my Mom was the only one who truly wanted to celebrate and make a big fuss. She was my best friend. She cared for me and my brother so much and she'd always…
Lost In No Man's Land
May 27th, 2011, husband - melanoma May 19th, 2011, mother - lung cancer No matter what I do, think about or don't think about I'm in "no man's land". If I try to forget then I'm lost, not sure what to do with myself, with my life. If I start to think about what I've lost then I'm sunk... I was mowing the lawn and broke the…
Feeling guilty
It has been 15 months since I lost mu husband to brain cancer. Looking back it was such a nightmare for all of us. On occasion I go to the brain cancer discussion board...don't know why. Maybe it is to see if any new treatments have shown success. Did we miss something? When I read the struggles of those traveling the path…
Travelling, cremains, and...neutrality
So as I mentioned yesterday, I decided to go "home" or as close as I have to one. I only made about 200 miles today, but I can honestly say it feels...less bad. I even was able to sing along to my car radio a little bit. It's kind of bittersweet to see my Husband's best friend riding his Harley, and wearing one of his…
Why do people think you have to get rid of everything?
People are driving me nuts!!!! I have had to have a couple things repaired already. My hubby has only been gone 3 weeks and people are looking around and saying you aren't going to use that you might as well get rid of it. That's like new you aren't going to use it. Don't have that installed go ahead and sell it this was a…
