Bad day in the grief department

Debbie, thinking of you, G.

Debbie,

I am so sorry for your loss.  I wish I had read this before I responded to your post about my tongue cancer.  

My prayers are with you.  I hope you overcome your depression soon and things take a positive turn for you.  I know it is difficult, but try to think of the wonderful memories you have of your husband and let his spirit embrace you.  Please keep reaching out for strength on this site.  I know you will find it.

dear debbie, you are bound to

dear debbie, you are bound to have those days, unfortunately.  i'm sorry the festival was a bust.  maybe you should try selling them online.  that may even take up some of your time.  i hope the depression doesn't hang around to long and that you start to feel a little better very soon.  you are going thru a lot so don't be too hard on yourself.  i'm glad you share your feelings with us.  we will always be here to listen and hopefully, comfort you.  think of the days you and Jim spent fishing and the good times you had and will have again when you reunite in Heaven.  i hope your memories will provide you with some smiles and comfort.  you're in my prayers, Deb.

When I wake up in the morning and my mind starts to wander, I immediately say to myself that this is a day the Lord gave me and I should get up and rejoice in it. If I lay there and start to think of things it gets depressing but, if I get up quickly, I find I can by-pass some of that depression. Worth a try. 

Prayers that God gives you the strength to get through this difficult time.

Hugs..........

Hang in there ....sorry that you are feeling soo down hope u feel better soon....I am looking for a new quilt Would be happy to buy one off you pm me

Hi Debbie,

My good neighbor two door down lost his wife two weeks ago. It was a very sudden illness and totally unexpected. He mentioned friends suggested he go for grief counseling and then after a few session he could attend a larger group of survivors. It may offer good support for you and also keep you from becoming isolated and withdrawn. Don

Dear Debbie, im holding you in my prayers.

 

Goyca.

So sorry you are having a "down" day. You know I understand. Sleep is almost non-existent for me, still. Let's see, I've tried 2 anxiety meds, sleeping pills, melatonin, & valerian root. Next I'm going for a ball peen hammer. It may work, but would probably hurt a lot.

I'm so sorry about your condo. I know how much you were counting on it, but perhaps a better deal is coming up.

A day of sadness & numbness for me as I made my final "clearing out" trip to my little cabin. Numbness because I can't believe this is happening after having the place for 44 years. Change of any kind is so hard, but we will get through this. I know that's a cliche, but we must believe.

I notice that you joined my "grief" group. There are many times I don't join in, but I usually check posts frequently. Remember we are there for you, as well as here.

Luv,

Wolfen

I know you are hurting and feeling alone but remember you are never alone Jesus is there with you through all your pain and suffering. His Holy Spirit will give you the peace of mind and body to continue in this world with Him by your side until He calls you home to be with Jim. Focus your life on things you love to do and on things that help others people, keep your prayers daily to Jesus for others who are hurting. God knows who you are He knows the number of the hairs in your head, find your peace in Him and you will find what you need to survive one day at a time.

We love you Debbie

Prayers Always

So sorry about such a down day.  But as others have posted some days will be better than others.  And so sorry about the festival.  I know what it's like to put so much time and effort into something and not have it turn out like it should.  Might be a good idea to try and sell them online.  Of course, there's ebay and etsy; don't know if it costs anything to put on line to sell.  And it's true just because a contract is on the condo doesn't mean it'll go thru and hey if it does goes thru it just means the good Lord has something better in store out there so keep looking!  As far as the sleep department I used to sleep like a rock before Charlie passed away and I don't sleep like that anymore.  However, I do tend to fall asleep easily in the recliner and then get up and go to bed!  I can just hear Charlie saying, "Jan, go to bed!"   And even though it's hard to do especially right now, staying busy (even just around the house) does help.  That is why I stay connected here and hopefully give back with what hopefully are comforting and helpful comments!  I love what Hondo posted.  He is just so good at being a comfort for us here.  Have a good day today.  God Bless and prayers always!

Have you tried an over the counter sleep aide like Advil PM or Tylenol PM? I use xanax to sleep, while a perscription, I don't think it is  terribly expensive.
