- About Me:
- Not really sure how much to tell, or what to tell you. I have a teaching degree 6-12 in mathematics, a masters for incorporating technology in the classroom and am certified to teach the gifted. I worked for 20 years in Volusia county and 12 of those at a small school 6-12, where I taught all grade levels. To make a long story short; the stress of of administration and the 12-16 hour days: excluding summers was more than I could handle. I had already been under a stress load from being forced to place my mom in a nursing home and lost the rest of my family over that, so I am estranged from my side of the family. I do have a few great neighbors who can help me with my 4 horses and 8 acres. And a few good friends. I have also ran into people that my husband knew from working at the boys ranch who have helped me and I know I can trust. That is very comforting. Ted Watermans Construction, has been so gracious I can’t say enough. You see, my husband was known as “ A Very Nice Guy”, I use to joke and say that is what I will put on your tomb stone. He hated it. But he truly was a nice guy. I needed him in so many ways and now he is gone. I am alone for the first time in my life, with the exception of my dogs, bird and horses. I just realized this morning, I have never lived by myself. I am on disability and he was my go to person and I feel so lost without him. Sorry if I have spelled anything wrong as I am dyslexic and do not have my glasses on either.
- About my Loss:
- My husband, Walt died falling through the roof at work and layed there all night. He had never been out all night; so when he did not was not home the next morning I called and got the Miami office and then called a friend and I could hear the sirens from 2 miles away on 19 and knew something was terribly wrong. And probably wrote more than I was supposed to. I use to ride horse, train my dogs, play in my garden, but life does not seem to have much of a purpose. My husband has a son who is going to be 30 this summer. I have known him since he has been in the 6th grade. He and I still maintain our relationship as do his mother and I.

"I lost my husband overnight that it happened so fast that I still can’t accept that he’s gone."
My Fathers Loss
Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child
I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
