👋 Good Morning, wishing a PEACEFUL day for us all. 🤞

My 3 alarms will be going off soon. Lol, yes, 3!!! 😅

Have a 8am Eye Appt & so DONOT want to go. But know these yearly checkups at age 68 are needed. I have cataracts & wear glasses. GRATEFUL, no surgery needed so far. 🙃

Luv,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)

Just returned from Eye Appt. DONOT need "new" glasses & cataracts are still the SAME size as LAST YEAR = NO surgery needed. 💃🙃🎉👍

ARE THERE ANY TOPICS YOU WANT TO DISCUSS? 🤔

All group members are welcome to create discussions. I will ALWAYS "participate". WE are here to get "support" & to give "support" TO EACH OTHER. 🤗💛

🪧 Stabilization While GRIEVING: In the early stages, focus on simple survival. Eat regularly, stay hydrated, and try to get enough rest. Do not rush to make major life changes, clear out belongings, or make hasty financial decisions.

I try to do what I can to help, Nicole. You and so many others have been so kind to me over the last year. The 2nd was the 11th anniversary of my Dad's death. This month will also be the first anniversary of my Mom's and Jim's Mom's death. On a happier note, Jim brought home a new kitten. She is orange and yellow. She is a Manx like Stewie and Nova, so she doesn't have much of a tail. She has been hiding under the bed. She came from an abusive household,so she is very scared and shy. I will send a picture when I can. Her name is Goldie. Always wonderful hearing from you Nicole. Luv and hugs to you and Mister. Talk to you again soon. 🤗🙂🐱🐈‍⬛🐈😻🐾🐈

You got this.

Dear Jeff @j580959d , I am so sorry for your loss dear friend!!!

Individual Counseling & "surrounding" myself with people who CARE helped me with the loss of my husband.

Grief in my "very humble" opinion is a LIFETIME JOURNEY.

We will ALWAYS "miss" them, cry, get angry and want to give up.

But as we take 1 STEP in our lives towards PEACE, we will "survive" somehow.

Hang in there & I am ALWAYS here if you need an ear to listen to you or someone to chat with.

Luv,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)

My wife of 52 years died recently and I’m really struggling being alone without her...I was her care giver for the past 5 years..We did every thing together and she was my best friend. How do I move forward? I’m overwhelmed with the thought of selling the house .Just looking for some advice.

Jeff, I am so very sorry about your wife. Do you have to sell your house? That is a big and major decision. If you can, you should wait until you are not feeling so overwhelmed. Grief sometimes leads us to make wrong and hasty decisions. My husband and I did just that in agreeing to sell his parents' house. We are still regretting the decision to do it. I hope that you can find some good advice. I would try to think about what you feel would be best for you. You could ask friends and family. I hope that helps. Again, I am very sorry about the loss of your wife. You take care. I will say a prayer for you.

➡️[***L POSTED - At the moment, I am praying that Adult Protective Services tells me Something about the investigation I was told would be conducted. There is relief from the harassment right now but the other party does not seem to be doing their jobs either. At the moment, I am hoping that my aunt will deem to reply to my text about genealogy, since deemed to respond to my inquiry on her health that she is visiting the state where most of her family/my ancestors are buried. At the moment, I am considering if/how to request funds from my trust after my brother turned over to an estate fiduciary. At the moment, I am deciding whether or not to call Lutheran Community. Services again for help after two people who said they would call me yesterday did not. At the moment, I am gearing up to wheel my blind elder companion animal with me on light-rail and bus to the most accessible Good Will to use $2.50 credit and use SNAP at the nearest Winco. Yet, I am positive and buoyant. Nobody knows all this stuff but whoever reads this comment. I am keeping the positive things to myself because people tend to ignore my problems and not help if I display how I help myself. I am just not enough; I am tired; I want peace and ease.
