Just sending you all love and strength. I'm watching a comedy and laughing.  I hope that's okay.  Enjoying it while it lasts x x x

Dick,  Maybe your son will give you grandchildren.... maybe adopted... and just think.... that grandchild will need all the love you can muster.

I think we all can understand how life can just knock you for a loop... how "Random" it is..... and how we felt so immune to having this happen to us.... even though we saw it happening all around us ...on the news.... to other people.... now we are those "other" people.

Karen, I can relate my new job has me entering customers DOB and other info all day every date means something to me ,,,,, the Job just kills me I try to just go numb while doing the entry's ,.,Dick..,I understand how you feel... My son was the forth the last boy in a long long generation going back to Ralph Waldo Emerson ..., I couldnt wait to see him graduate go to college marry and then the grand babies .. My daughter is so distraught over what has happened ,,, the recover may or may not happen,,, so in a sense I have lost all the wonderful days ahead I was at the edge of having... At the last dinner we all had together (thanksgiving.,,, my daughters 19th birthday) my son told her you can have today but everyday after this is mine .,, it was going to be his golden birthday on the 18th of December and he said from here on out it was all about him,.... He was right he died two nights later in a car accident comming home from a football game with a friend..,, halfway through his senior year with scholarships waiting for him...,.so yess agree the year is approaching fast and a I want to do is sleep... And be around no one especially happy.... Merry people giving thanks and. Cheer ..,,I don't think it helps to know your not alone but Your not.,,,,

All I wanted was big Thanksgivings and Christmas' with grandchildren playing at my feet. I don't think that is much to ask for.

And to think, I had the world as my oyster not but a couple of years ago. Mid-life with a wife and two good careers, two sons out of university, and one married. Cruising into to a comfy retirement in about 10 years, no bothers.

Now Danny passes and I find out the other son has some fertility issues. My world is cratered. I feel cheated and wonder what the heck have I been doing all the years. Everything for naught.

Grace, depression probably but I can still function without medications and don't want them. Volunteering, well I tried that for a while but it was no use, I feel worse seeing others in pain as well. I did some Methodist H.O.M.E. I think I just like to sleep and stay busy at work.

I got offered a job in Alaska today. I asked the wife, I already knew the answer "And leave Danny?". I admit, on Saturday evening I do feel some relief going to the gravesite just to be closer to him.

Stephanie,

I cannot have a dog now. I cannot bear to have anything die while under my care.

Adrianne, you are lucky to have grandchildren. I have none.

Dick
I feel the same. I have a purpose. I'm a mom of two girls and 6 grandkids. But I can't engage. I'm stuck.

Hey Sophia and all friends, my heart is with all of you. I don't always comment but I can always relate and I try to read everyone's postings.
