Glad to be friends on here now and look forward to communicating with you.  I don't know much about this site, either, but come on and read posts and blogs and find it helpful in some way.  Hope you're having as good a week as possible.  After my difficult weekend, I'm feeling a bit better - but felt on the verge of a panic attack for a good part of today...don't know exactly why but these things happen from time to time and I'm learning to roll with it for the most part.  Overall, however, I feel like I'm doing a little better all the time and that's encouraging to me.  I hope the same will be true for you.  Take care.  Bests, Lynne

Hi Donna, I too am a pediatric nurse, have 2 teenagers at home, one of which is graduating this June and lost my husband of 29 years  jan29 of this year and feel we have a lot in common and can truly relate. I also live near you and have only recently joined this site looking for support. Hearing from others helps me feel not so alone. I have some close friends but feel I'm overburdening them with my grief, which  they probably don't understand seeing none of them have lost their life companions. I usually speak with them on better days as on the bad days I don't want to talk to anyone. Hopefully  we can help each other on those days.

Welcome to this site and wish that it was under very different circumstances, of course.  Hopefully, you will find some comfort and understanding here.  I left a comment on your discussion about long weekends, btw.  Bests, L.

"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

Being the Other Woman/Other Man

This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More
