What do we know? What are we doing?

6 months after Mom's death, there are still questions.

It is not easy

Today just take 5 minutes at a time.

Today remember to breath.

Change is an adjustment.

Allow yourself time to process.

Write your feelings it helps.

Remember good memories, that make you smile.

Drink sleepy time teas to help you sleep.

Drink water to replace the tears you have cried.

Listen to nature, she can give you answers. 

With love to you, Coach Louise …

Lost my husband of 46 years last year and am still in anguish and grief.

I am still grieving over my fabulous husband, friend and everything to me.  How do I ever stop crying, yearning for him and comparing him to all others.  He was my 2nd marriage and it was perfection from day one.  I am truly lost without him and have to push myself to ever go out and meet new people.  It seems people, relatives, well-meaning persons just can't understand this grief and I have now stopped telling anyone about it.  But, it is still there and I do feel such a loss as to being… Continue

Anniversaries

I'm just 2 weeks away from turning 25. I never looked this far into my future, to be honest. I only looked as far as 24 and had that whole year planned. Lots of things came to be as planned, except all the unexpected deaths in the family. But along with my Uncle's passing soon after my 24th birthday, my grandmother passing in May and I can only think of July. It is not a big month for my family in the least. It is my birthday month, but not looking this far forward I feel as if I have…

Strength

One of the things that'd bothered me a fair amount in the last while was hearing people say, "you're so strong!"  They seem surprised that I'm still getting up in the morning, going to work, getting my bills (eventually) paid, and so on.  The initial reaction was always wanting to scream back, 'Are you NUTS???  Do you have any idea what this all FEELS like?  How in the Hell can you think I'm strong when I'm still so hurt and confused and lost so much of the time?!!"  I certainly don't feel…

Feel dead and lifeless

Since my husband passed away on 1/6/09 I realized the other day, I don't smile, I don't laugh and I sure don't feel. I don't feel happiness. But I can say, when I start to think about him, I feel pain and the tears come and don't want to stop.

I watch tv.and if its supposed to be funny. I don't think it is. I changed everything that I used to do right down to the type of music I listen to.

I feel sometimes, I just don't know how to be me without him.

Death of my spouse

My husband and best friend of 53 years passed away on June 12, 2011.  This is all so very new to me.  I started a journal and have written 35 pages so far.  That is helping me get my thoughts out of my mind and down on paper.  I thought the worst day of my life was the day he died but relized the worst days started the next day when I could no longer physically touch him.  Can write any more right now.  Will get back to this later.  My sincere condolances to all who have lost a loved one.

Difficulty Being Happy

I got some good news today at work:  I got a raise.  It's a decent amount more, and will go quite a ways to alleviate some of the stress I've had about money in the last few months since Ariel killed herself.  I still don't know if it's enough to let me hang on to the house, but at least it means I don't have to rush quite so much to get out of here.  That's good news.

 

What was strange was that when I saw it, there wasn't the upwelling of happiness or joy I'd have expected. …

Tequila to open Gran's funeral

http://spiritspout.blogspot.com/2011/06/tequila-to-open-grans-funeral.html

 

This morning I awoke and felt uncomfortable. I'd taken a Lunesta sleeping pill so that I'd be able to sleep and not be an entire wreck at Gran's funeral. An unfortunate side effect of such a pill is often a nasty, bitter taste in one's mouth. I brushed my teeth twice, but I couldn't get rid of it, so I just…

My mom died 4 months ago

My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
