My wife's name was Marlene. When Hospice accepted me as a volunteer, they assigned me to work the desk with a lady whose name was Marlene. I told them there was no way I could sit there and talk to someone with the same name as my wife so they changed my day. I'm going to close this out for the day and watch some TV. That seems to be my escape for getting my mind off the problems. I don't know if that works for you but everyone is different.

Enjoy what's left of the weekend Panni.

You are wonderful Panni...............it's nice to have someone you can tell your problems to and who is in the same boat you are in. My hat is off to you because you have to work along with raising your kids and it has to be very hard when you just don't feel like going to work. I volunteer at Hospice one day a week and that gets me out and around people along with giving me a chance to pay back a little for being there for my wife and then for my counseling. You are in my thoughts as we both continue down this long and endless road.My very best wishes......Bob

Panni,

 

Thanks for being the 1st to comment. I asked about another group counseling session and they feel I would just be repeating the same class projects but with a different group that may not be as acceptable to everyone. We did have a good group that has stayed together and we meet for lunch every month. It helps but it's only for a couple of hours and then back in the dumps again. I guess all we can do is hang on and hope time will do its thing. At my age, I doubt that I have enough time left for the deep sadness to ease off. I'm sorry for your loss too Panni and we certainly have a lot of company on this site don't we? I appreciate you taking the time to write and please feel free to contact me whenever you need to release some feelings. Your friend in sadness.......Bob
