About Me:
I am 52 years old. Female. Three children in their 20's who live at home.
About my Loss:
On January 16, 2014, I kissed my husband goodbye, as he was leaving the house for work. It was approximately 5:50am and still dark outside. At 7:15am, as I was getting ready to leave for work my doorbell rang. There was a police officer standing on my front porch. It never entered my mind that it was anything more than that maybe my youngest son had been seen driving too fast in the neighborhood. The officer asked me if I was the wife of David and I said yes. He proceeded to tell me that my husband had been in a serious accident. I said, "What?" Because I just couldn't believe what he was telling me. The officer said, "I don't know all the details but from what I understand, it was very serious." I said, "ok, ok." And closed the door. Then sprinted down the hallway screaming for my children to get up that we had to go to the hospital because daddy had been in an accident. The ride to the hospital seemed endless. We get there and they escort us into one of those "rooms." But my mind refused to let me acknowledge it. The hospital chaplain tells us that a deer had leaped through the windshield of his dodge ram 2500 pickup! So I'm thinking, ok, he's badly hurt but we will deal with it. They also tell us that we can see him once the hospital staff "stabilize him". Then finally, the doctor comes in and tells us that the deer not only went through the windshield, but also went through my husband and out the rear window of the truck cab and that it had broken my husbands neck, separating his brain stem from his spine and that he was brain dead, with no ability to sustain life, and they had to keep injecting his heart to keep it going. We had to go see my husband to say goodbye and I had to tell the staff to shut down life support. It has been a little over 5 months since this all happened and I still find myself unable to accept my husbands death, how it happened, and the horror of how he died. I went back to work two weeks after his funeral, but then had a breakdown at work four months later and I am now out on disability and have terrible anxiety and depression. Even though my children are home, I am so lonely and miss him so very much that it is a physical pain. I don't wish to die, but I am just a mess.

Grandma sewing room

So I am almost done with cleaning my grandmas sewing room that wasn’t touched in 10 years because of all the mess, but now that she passed away 2 days ago, I don’t know if I should continue, I wanna finish what I started but I don’t know what to do, my grandpa is still alive and I don’t want to leave this burden on him.See More
