We lived in our own little worlds. It went very fast when she went into St Davids South Austin Hospital the final time,as the wonderful doctors and nurses(don,t forgot the nurses) tore her body apart.(not literally ) You  know, heart valve repalcement,pacemaker oh gee don,t forgot shes on dialysis and won,t even have a chance of surviving. As me and her "gieving son and his wife stood around and watchd her life fade away.

Now if she survived she would have still given me a piece of…

hard to write anything without launching into the real truth. One never sees how realtionships really were. Regardless the living breathing person who has been by your side for 35 yrs dies. Dead passed away. I would launch into blame, anger (guilt) ?? umm.Ignorance ,being blind sided by emotional and pyschological problems . Living one day to the next ,unable to bring oneself to end a realtionship on…

I lost my youngest sister to brain cancer on July 8. I managed to stay strong for her and her young daughters while helping to care for her at hospice at home. But now my heart is breaking with such sadness and sense of loss. She was only 44 and because of our age difference, I've always thought of her as my baby. I'm having trouble sleeping and when I do manage to sleep I wake up crying knowing that it was not a nightmare. She is gone. I love her so much and miss her terribly. It was so…

I have been crying all friggin day today.  Today should have been my husbands birthday.  I should have been making a special dinner and his favorite Strawberry Shortcake Torte.  Instead I sit outside watching the lightning storms that he loved so much and cry.  But it is more than that.

July 18th my sister died on the other side of Canada from me.  She was 98 years old and I have not seen her in a few years now.  If Tom was here maybe we would have been enjoying our retirement, maybe…

When mom died, i really felt like a piece of me died with her .She was only 61 years old. So young to die. 

She had such a traumatic life. She had rheumatic fever when she was just 4 years old.  She almost died. Her mother , my grandmother was so sick. She had ovarian cancer and another type of cancer in her body and…

It is Monday morning and I am at work in my cubicle. Crying and can't stop. Finally, my sister has started crying after about 8 months from losing mom. It made me start crying because she is the one person left on this earth that I love unconditionally. It is all so sad. This life is so depressing. WHy in the world are we here? To go through grief that makes us so depressed that we can't function?  Life is just so sad and depressing, I can't think of anything good about it. I am not sucidal…

When I lost my job on Friday afternoon I felt really low for a lot of reasons, but the worst of it was that I was worried that I would have to break a promise to my 7 year old daughter. Literally the day before I had brought her to her first ever Jazz class. It was a free trial class to determine if she would enjoy taking lessons and what class to put her in. She was amazing she really put an effort in and it was the firs time, probably ever, that I had seen her participate…

It has been a month and one day since my moms death.I am still trying to deal with the loss.Mom lived with me for 5 years.She had high blood pressure,diabetes,dementia and arthiritis and other ailments.It is so lonely in this house without her.She was so sick before she died.She stopped eating as much,she also started to get more moody and aggressive.She was in and out of the hospital.I am so happy that she was with me but i have this picture of her in my mind when she got to the point where…

When you come to the edge of all the light you have known and are about to step out into the darkness FAITH is knowing two things will happen, There will be something to stand on or you will be taught how to fly

well, 

Lost my job today.  Don't really know what else to say. Maybe 6 months was too early to go back. Maybe I wasn't ready. I got to many disciplinary points for a person on new hire probation. I  worked there for 2 months and 10 days, the shortest job I have ever had. I am depressed about losing my job, I feel like I was doing well, like I was a good employee.. but maybe I am not a good anything. 

I was allowed 8 points.. I got 5 for missing a shift because my…

Here I am, another sleepless night.  I never sleep long anymore, just cat naps here and there. There is just so much going on in my head, and my dreams have all turned t nightmares,  they are not always bad nightmares, but even my sweeter dreams are torture because in my sweetest dreams I am with my beautiful girl.  The dreams always end, and I wake up with out her. I don't know what to do. I feel so ungrateful, so dissatisfied, so .. ripped off.  They are unfamiliar feelings…

I find Iam not as strong as I think Iam. Far from it ,eveything that has happend has overwelmed me and I had better admit it.Rome wasn,t built in a day. I kid myself when I just suck up the fact that my wife died and just keep on going. Nooo! far from it I had better slow down encompass the grief as it were. Iam not going to wake up and jump…
