Feeling lonely today. I get really upset because friends haven't been in contact. I keep telling myself that they have their own lives, but I am not accepting that at this time! Is that selfish? I miss Joe so much. He was my best friend here on earth! Should I move away to a different state and make new friends? I am seriously considering it. Any suggestions???? Thank you!

Oct. 17th was our 30th anniversary. Nov. 6th will be 3 years since I lost Bill. In between I'm finding myself rather weepy...guess it doesn't help that I'm watching Hallmark Christmas movies to deal with it. I KNEW I would miss him, just didn't realize how much. There are times where I still turn and expect him to be walking down the hallway. This was his favorite time of year...hunting season!

Linda Engberg your talking about that poem?  Thanks though I can take no credit it for it.  I was bingeing on netflix again watching SOA for like the 4th time in a row, it gets kind of boring but its one of the few things I find takes my mind away from the present which is a nice escape for a while, the scene where he loses his wife i never listended to the song before, not that the episode isnt sad enough but that song really just, i dont know how to say it but just took a lot out of me.  Probably haven't been quite as tearful since 2 or 3 years ago.  Halloween?  All dark at my house, I hate being such a sour grape but what the hell do I care right now?  I dont, but hopefully and God willing one day I still find a little something here and there to smile around this life.

Mary. I am in the very same place. Empty. Hollow

Halloween used to be one of my favourite times of year. My husband and I would decorate outside - spooky and fun - all the kids loved it. Now the second Halloween without my Neil. The kids and I didn't have the motivation to do it without him. But we did do pumpkin carvings as we've always done. And my oldest let off some fireworks in the evening in memory of dad. Neil always did fireworks on Halloween. The days are just so empty. Even when you still do some "fun" things it's just empty. I miss my dear Neil. Gone to soon at 52. Not a day a moment goes by that he's not in my mind. We are soulmates. Always will be. I miss him so so very much every minute of every day. I still can't grasp this heart wrenching reality. Has been 18 months. I feel so lost, so alone.

All the family went different directions tonight and left me to hand out candy to the kids.  Unfortunately, they have a huge liquor cabinet.  Year three and even Halloween pulls the rug out from under my feet.

Couldn't face Halloween in our house without my husband...afraid as well as sad, find myself fearful of so many things these days. Helping at my parents' house with pumpkin carving and candy giving for the second year since becoming a widow. It is a good way to spend the day though hard to see my mother's suffering with loss of memory and dizziness, breathlessness, and trouble walking. Glad to be here but sad, unlike the pumpkin who has a big smile.

I'm working away from home this week so my grandson will give out the candy. We usually get a good turnout. I'm ok with not being there. First Halloween without my husband of 43 years.

My 5th Halloween without my Husband. We used to love giving the kids candy, now I just get a DVD and watch with my sweet little dog Babie J.
