Tildyc I am with you on the wine part. Just need to indulge at times. Helps the time go by but I have found that I am much more emotional the next day. So I am not sure it helps later but at the time it sure does.

John T- building a new life??? I can't even find the correct words to respond to that. That is so beyond the realm in which I live. ...building a new life?? Un-freakin-real! You're absolutely right – the un-affected absolutely DO NOT/CAN NOT understand what is going on here. We are on our own. Alone.

George- yes whiskey will make you feel like crap later. So will too much wine. But sometimes – it's what I need just to numb the pain just a little bit, so I can get to sleep. I know that's going make everybody raise their eyebrows. But – being of Norwegian/Irish decent-it's kind of the norm where I grew up. It's not something to do every time but once in awhile I have to do something. I don't like taking the medications the Doc prescribed and I stop going to therapy. It just wasn't working for me. So go ahead and judge everyone – it is what it is.

Dear Nancy,

So sorry to hear this! It must have been pure agony seeing your young son crying for his daddy. It's all so cruel and unfair. Sending you good vibes for finding some peace.

George H,

Good call on your part! It's a wonderful thing to do to honor the memory of your beloved wife. Someone else is going to benefit from your generosity. And if it feels right to you, then that's the right thing to do.

My Joseph always believed in spreading it around and would always do something thoughtful or generous whenever possible. I gave away one of his winter coats and a pair of boots in the fall. It was extremely painful parting with those personal items, but I know that Joseph would approve of it.

Sandy- just thinking of you…..take care……can I suggest a cup of tea and maybe a muffin or chocolate always makes me feel just a tiny bit better.  Things are going to be really tough right now.  Even though your dad was older it still doesn't make it easy.  Get some rest and cry.  Its what we do…….

Nancy-  I don't understand brain cancer.  My husbands father died from it and I had a friend in Hawaii when we lived there who got it and within two weeks he was so degraded by it I couldn't believe the downward spiral. How is it that the world is so full of this thing we call cancer? My husband died from it exacerbated by diabetes and the cancer just ate where his diabetes took hold.  He wasn't the kindest to his body over the years and I can attribute the cancer to what I think was some of that but the brain?  Why?  Where does that come from?  It is such a mystery.  And now they have been using the polio vaccine to treat people with gliobastoma. This is way out there in left field when I think about how we are watching our loved ones die.  Not just how we are supposed to survive once it happens but the crazy ways our loved ones are dying……..what the heck is going on?
