Another year without my beloved Husband Julian. There is nothing happy about a New Year.

Michael - what criteria did you use to decide the numbers?

I sit listening to a show on TV with musicians singing and people celebrating.  I am approaching 4 years in 21 days.  I try so hard but I really never believe there is anything left for me anymore.  I try to believe it but then I realize how ridiculous it is to think life has anything for me.  I am simply taking up space.  No chance to do more than endure it.  So thats what I am doing.  I'm not sure it is happy, tolerable or miserable.  I  just wish he was here.  Every second, of almost four years, I wish he was here and that is never going to stop.  It overshadows everything I do.  I loved him more than life itself.  So another year I will endure it, hoping it stops soon.  There is nothing else to do.

First New Years alone in 27. Heres what ive deduced. The chances of being happy again - 10 percent. The chsnces of living a somewhat tolerable life - 40 percent. The chances of being miserable til death - 50 percent.
Any comments?

Elynn no you didn't hurt my feelings it's just so hard still and my grandchildren are still grieving and can't talk about their grandpa without getting upset and as for me it's unbearable I sent a friend request to you with my apologies if I came off rude thank you for your input

Pamela,

   I am really sorry if I hurt your feelings.   What I said was just meant to be a comment, not a judgement.   I guess I should watch how I speak.   My comment was for myself too. I always have to remind myself that family is good to have around.

I have often put on fake faces because I try to convince others that i'm "ok", but most of my family can tell, by my voice, that i'm not ok!   They just put up with me!  I want to talk openly to them , but don't open up easily.   That's why I  find comfort with my grandchildren

PATTI,

You are now in this group, all you do it post what you are feeling, no one will condemn what you post. We are all in the same boat and here to comfort one another.

Linda

Elynn I don't quite understand your response because if you know how I feel about the fake smiles then you would understand why I do it

Pamela,

    It's good that your family is coming over.  You should not be alone for Christmas.    I know how you feel about the fake smiles as if everything is ok,  just try to open up to them, and express those feelings.   Don't be afraid to cry.  The grandchildren may be the best way to express yiurself.  Tell them that you miss Grandpa.  Remind them how much he loved them.  Children are so open and honest.   I still sign cards:  "from Nona and Grandom Joe".   It's hard, but they are so responsive.
