Hi Deb.

Hope you survived the Thanksgiving weekend. Do you have kids and family close by to help you? Hope so. Family is the #1 piority,  it is on my list.

I am lucky and had my daughter and granddaughter with me this weekend. They live in Chicago. I also have my husband's two sisters and brother that live in Cedar Falls. They have been a great support system for me.

Harry passed June 7th after only a 11 week battle with cancer. He was the picture of health. Ate right, exercised and had quit smoking 23 years ago. He was my soul mate and I thank God for EVERYDAY I was blessed to be his wife.

This weekend was a weird one. I had closed of Harry's "room" when he passed. He watched TV, had his desk and sports stuff crammed in there, but he loved that room. I had decided that I needed to start using that room to be close to him when I was down in the dumps. So my daughter suggested I change it up and get some new furniture. I brought his chairs out to the living room and bought a sofa sleeper for when the girls come home for his room. Then I bought another sofa for the living room and will be selling the 18 years living room stuff. Today after my girls left I needed to "clean". Boy did I clean and cry. But I could feel Harry coaxing me along to the songs from the movie "Forrest Gump" on his stereo (that he hadn't taught me to use). It feels strange not having him here to make all my major decsions but I felt like he was telling me like he use to "Always look forward cause it is what it is and this is what you got."
I hope you can find your strength in things you and your husband use to do or say to each other. I believe that a man and wife are joined in more ways than one. I had Harry for almost 40 years and I know I wouldn't be the person I am today as I muddle through this, without his help and God's everyday when I open my eyes every morning.
Days are full of ups and downs. I wish you the best. Write if you'd like. Cindy

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
