I'm sorry Frank.  I know it's hard. There is the possibility of a sleeping pill, but, maybe with your kidney issues, that isn't an option.  I wish I had something helpful to say.  Right now, I know it looks pretty bleak.  It will get better, but not nearly as fast as you want it to.  At least you know you can come here and connect to other people who know how it feels.

Peace and Healing,

Frank I' m so sorry for your loss.  I know you feel like it's all over.  That life is sadly over.  But it is a process for us to accept this fact.  I lost my soulmate too.  Slowly you will feel better.  L
I'm sorry it has to be this way.  It's a process.

Arthur,

I'm so sorry that you have to have these painful memories.  I know it's hard.  I know it seems like it will never end.  One day, you will feel better, and the times you feel better will last longer.  I hope for you, that day will come soon.

Peace and Healing,

Nathan,

I am so sorry for what you and your wife have had to go through.  I'm glad that you have been comforted by your faith in Christ.
It is very painful to lose a mate.  My husband died from cancer too, so I know it's hard.  It's very soon for you and your healing will be a process that takes time.  People are here for you.

Peace and Healing,

Sally,

I don't normally post here, but when I saw your post, I just had to reply.  I am so sorry that you are having to do all this.  I know you must feel completely overwhelmed and at the breaking point.  I was a caregiver for my husband and my mother, and I used hospice for both.  I know how hard it was for me, and I wasn't working.  There was no way I could have. I can't even imagine how hard it is for you to do both. I hope for some respite and comfort for you.

Peace and Healing,
mousewife

Terry,

It's coming and going.  Thanks for asking.  I've been dealing with Social Security, which forced me to relive things.  Then today I was planning to go and take documentation to finish my application, but then I realized I might need to check to make sure that the widow benefit would not permanently reduce the benefit.  And of course, it will. So now I have to rethink things.

I'm nervous about my upcoming trip, and very sad that I have to go alone.  I guess I'm just a complaining weenie.  I try hard though, and I know God helps me.

It very much helps to know that there are people here who care enough to write and post to me. Thanks.

Peace and Healing,
mousewife

Lisa.

Oh, that's got to be hard, having your birthdays so close together. I'm glad you had some fun with friends.  It's true, our mates wouldn't want us not to enjoy as much as we can.  Happy birthday to you too.

Lisa,

Sorry Lou can't be with you.  I hope you're doing OK.  I hope you have something to do that you can enjoy.  Know that he is thought of on his day.

« on: April 04, 2014, 06:39:46 AM »
Ray,

Thanks.  I'm trying to do that.  It's just that in all the things that I have tried and still participate in, I haven't met anyone.  I've come close a couple of times, but nothing has come of that, which bums me out. In the group settings there are about 8 women for every guy.  And they're all younger.  I haven't found any groups my age.  I've tried dating sites, but I can never stay on there for long because I feel like I'm trying to sell myself like a piece of meet.

I'm glad something is working out for you.  And your advice is good about expectations.

Peace and Healing,
mousewife

Lost,

I'm sorry you have had to go through this loss.  I know it's hard.  It's true that people who haven't experienced it can't really understand what we are going through.

It's nice of you to think about trying to encourage others, but I hope you are receiving encouragement as well.

Peace and Healing,

Grief not related to deaths / Re: Almost done...

Doug,

Sorry you are going through upsetting things.  You didn't mention anywhere in your post if you have expressed your feelings verbally to your wife.  Have you told her how you feel and asked her how she feels?  It might be very clear in your mind how you feel, but, unless you tell her, she probably won't know.  To me, it sounds like there are things she is feeling that you're not aware of also.

It seems like you still value many things about your marriage, and if that's the case, it could be helpful to spend some time talking to and listening to your wife. At this point, it might be beneficial to have the help of a counselor whom you both trust.

Peace and Healing,
mousewife

Thank you Lisa,

Yes, things have been a little upsetting for me lately.  Yesterday my mechanic told me that I need some expensive work done on my car.  I always feel so stressed out when that type of thing happens.  I never know for sure if I'm doing the right thing.  I always wish my husband was here when these things happen.  Also, I thought I had a defective smoke alarm going off for two and a half days, which drove me nuts.  It turned out to be a defective co2 alarm, which I could have just unplugged.  I'm just in a bad stretch right now.

But, it could be so much worse.  I could have no place to live, or not have the money to make repairs.  So far, I can still do these things.

Peace and Healing,
mousewife
