Brenda Doughty has not received any gifts yet
So if you hear that one year is the magic date, I'm here to tell you that has not been my experience. If anything I find things harder than they were before. There are days I feel crazy. Okay one minute, a train wreck the next minute. Buckets of tears and a lot of pain. I miss Michael so badly and my heart feels like it has been broken all over again, or that that the healing that had begun was ripped…

I have come to hate retail valentine's day assaults. I thought it was because I'd miss not having Michael's special gift this year, and in a way I was right. It is the gift of him that I miss, not the things. I keep finding little things like text messages, notes and little belongings of his and sometimes this sadness just washes over me. There are a lot of changes with me; I am having to move and downsize my living space by 3/4 so a lot has to go. It's hard right now. Just wanted to say I…

Just a few minutes ago I was enveloped by a wave of grief. I know that it is partly due to me making plans to move closer to school and I am frankly lonesome today. It had been a relief for the last couple of weeks for the knot in my middle to have lessened in its intensity. Today I feel shaky and tired but I know like I know my name that it will be okay. It's just an odd day.

I am visiting with family and it is strange being here without my husband. I am glad that I made the trip; just really feeling conspicuous and a little tired. Lots more memories without him here.
Christmas was surreal but I was surrounded by love and it helped so much. I miss Michael still but it is not the knot in my gut that it was. I have…

I agree, Brenda is a great name. My profile picture is of my father in law. He passed away two years ago, the other picture is of my brother in law who died of a pancreatic cancer take over Sept 5th this year. Thank you for asking.
Our family is still reeling for the swiftness by which pancreatic cancer took Roger - less than one month. There is no early detection with pancreatic cancer. But this does not compare to your situation. How are you coping?
Brenda

im am sorry 4 your loss i know you must hear that a lot trust me i do to and i hate it but im only 40 days in on my 365 day year so far im holding things together while watching everything fall apart in my life and this sudden death thing really sucks for me because it make me feel like in a way my wife was murdered we never knew including her that she had this just one day at one moment she was talking and stuff the next she was gone like a light switch i dont know how your michael passed or if your at that point to talk about it but if you ever need or want some one to talk to im hear for you ok once again thank you for the kind words my prayers are with you
Hi Brenda, so sorry for your loss, I also lost my husband fast, he died instantly while trimming tree branches, he fell and I never saw him again. It has been a year for me and he was the Love of my Life and best friend, those first months were so painful I didnt think I could make it. But with the help of family and a few close friends they helped me through the pain. I know it seems like it will never get better, but believe me it will, baby steps. It never goes away, but it does get better little by little. and it helps to talk to other people about it, when you share your pain it makes it more validated. hope this helps....Cathy...I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts
Hi Brenda, I am so sorry for your loss. I have not experienced losing a spouse but have lost many loved ones. I lost my son, Zach, on September 3rd and am having a hard time accepting that he is gone. You are in my thoughts and prayers. hugs. Robin
