Just wanted to say Hi to all you wonderful ladies that helped me this last year. Since Randy passed away on June 9th I have found another message board ( for widows only ) , another group of wonderful ladies helping me get through this greiving process. Just wanted to let you all know that I am doing OK. Taking one day at a time, sometimes one minute at a time. Hoping that as time passes the memories of Randy will bring a smile instead of tears. Thanks again for all your help. I think of you all the time, knowing that your journey is a hard one.
((Penny)), I am sorry to hear of the loss of your husband Randy. I can't begin to know how difficult it must be for you. I am glad you have found another board with people who understand just what you are going through, as you know it helps immensely. I do hope you will keep posting here, sharing your wisdom with the rest of us facing the same road you are now on. Perhaps when your pain lessens. Healing thoughts to you and your family ~Nikki
Penny, thank you for coming by to say Hi. What is the website for widows only? We'll all be joining you someday - it might be tomorrow, it might be in a couple of years, it might be 8 years or more - but we'll be with you again, it is sad to say, but realistic.
I'm so glad that you are doing okay and we hope that you stop by now and again and say hello....
Dear Penny: I, too, lost my sweet love to AD some time ago, but I promise you the pain will ease even tho the memories remain. It takes time for new memories to meld with the old and all the sweet sorrow you feel now will take its proper place in your life, you will live with it but not dwell on it, and you will be OK. I promise. Betty
What Betty says is true, I promise. It is extremely hard at first, but little by little, you WILL begin the healing process. I hope your new site can help make the road easier for you.
My husband is still alive, but I have found the grief counseling offered through Hospice very helpful. Perhaps this is something you might wan't to explore - this is such a hard road.
