Linda, my heart aches for you. I am so sorry for your loss. We can never be prepared for the loss of a loved one!

I am so sorry for your loss of Babie Linda.  I know how broken you are now but don't forget about catching that right bus.

Babie is with Julian right now at the right bus stop waiting for you.

Joe

Hello Friends,

Monday I lost my Sweet Babie J. Now I don't have anything to live. I will do everything in power to end my life. I just wanted to thank you for support. God Bless You All.

Linda,

I agree; I died when my husband died as well, in every important way. But I know that when my body dies, whenever that may be and whatever from, my family will be sad.

As far as I'm concerned, there is no such thing as a "new normal" at all -- that asinine phrase needs to be jettisoned from the English language, in my opinion, at least when it comes to the death of one's soulmate/spouse/partner.  Whatever life the surviving spouse is forced to live is abnormal, there is no longer any such thing as normal (at least for me, and so many of us here).

Hi Trina and Bluebird,

Nice to see you both online. For me personally the virus doesn't bother me. I already died the day my Husband, Julian died.  There is no such thing as a new normal for me. Take Care.

Thanks, Trina; good thoughts to you as well.

Bluebird,

Good to hear from you. Yes, I know exactly what you mean, the need to want to isolate yourself alone at home after your husband's death. For so many of us, that seems the only refuge after our irreparable loss.

I hope you can see your mother soon and visit your sister and brother-in-law for dinner again. Unfortunately, with a sinking heart, it seems to me, too, that life will no longer ever be the same on this planet even after Coronavirus passes, because there will always be the threat that it could strike again. Take care. Sending good thoughts your way.

Trina,

It's much the same for me. As much as possible, I have preferred to isolate myself alone at home since my husband died, so this quarantine hasn't changed my free time that much. I am working from home rather than going to my work office, so that's new/different. Also, normally I go over to my sister's house 4 nights a week (after work); she and I and my brother-in-law have dinner together, and there are a number of shows we are watching together (Netflix, etc.); I was still going over to their house for the first few weeks of the quarantine, but then I had to go to the supermarket to get groceries for myself and also do the shopping for my Mom, and I felt like I might have had a bit of a runny nose so I just stayed home after that (even though it was unlikely to be coronavirus), and since then I've just been home.

I hope my family are all ok, as far as this damn virus and everything else (each of us has some risk factors, were we to get the virus), and I hope everyone else is ok as well. Hopefully a vaccine is found soon; otherwise, I really don't see life on this planet ever getting back to anything resembling normal.

Hi Trina, Your post mirrors my very thoughts on this this virus. I pray that God will take me in place of any of my family.
