Bunches...

First off....

Nothing can be said that makes sense right now. Just know that I hear you and understand you and where you are.

This is your path of grief to walk, and as I have found, there are no rules anymore.

Nothing is the same, nothing feels the same, and you will, most likely, never be the same again.



I had never kept a thread here for various reasons. and although I was a regular poster here for several years, I often fall back, and ebb and flow through here.

I did start a thread here last year, two of them actually (in the Surviving the Big D archives now if you wanna read them) after experiencing a great loss in my life.

As I stated in those threads...

I've deeply loved two Women in my life. I lost one through divorce, and the other to Cancer last year.

I have been through this from both sides, so when I say that I hear you....I do

When I say that I understand......I do

In reading your threads (old and new) , we might have a little of that in common...

For now though....

As hard as it is, try to get some sleep. Try to get some rest...

And as bleak as it feels right now, you will get through this...

One day at a time

One hour at a time

One minute at a time

One second at a time...


If it helps (and it did for me), tell me about her ??

Somehow, talking about her, kept her alive in my mind.


What I ultimately am learning, is that there is no right or wrong way through this...just as long as I keep moving forward.

Some days, especially in the beginning....

It was all I could do to get out of bed and make it to the couch.
