Help with grief
I lost my husband of 55 years April 2nd. Iโm lost, he was my everything. We did everything together.
We have two great adult kids, 3 beautiful granddaughters and a 9 month old great grandson.
They have their lives, which is what we always wanted,โฆ
I just need someone to chat with. Tell them how wonderful he is,โฆshare memories,โฆ
โHelp me maybe get through another day without himโฆ

good morning dear friend. I was worried, I hadnโt heard from you, so I scrolled thru all my messages, and Leo and behold, I hadnโt heard missed you. A pest, never, I love chatting. And you can always talk about things other than our grief. I know itโs always with us. Howโs your flu? Are you starting to feel a bit better? My cats name is Circus, granddaughter use to laugh at her antics, walking on the back,of a chair, jumping up trying to catch a butterfly, so,Molly, our granddaughter would say she should be in the circus, so Circus she became.
when I let Dalton out tonite for his last trip, there seems to be a new star west of us, just over our barn, or maybe Iโve just noticed it, anyway, I think thatโs Dans star, so I talk to it each nite. Well it wasnโt shining tonite, and I was sad because he wasnโt thereโฆ.just now, I know why, it was cloudy, the rain just started, I can hear it. So, Iโm glad I,still talked to him, asking if he was okโฆgosh, do you do things too???โ Are we allowed to share more info, or isnโt it quite safe for us? Can you share your first name, or will I just call you my Spring time friend? I hope you are resting. Isnโt your car appointment today? Iโm sorry I missed your chat, never think you bother me,โฆIโm more apt to drive you a bit sillyโฆ.๐๐โค๏ธโ๐ฉน

Lol Theresa @TheresaF849375 , this site is a challenge to use & find posts dear friend!!! I am Nicole and use it on the site when I am NOT being lazy. ๐ Thanks, yes feeling better. Car Appt is rescheduled to Monday at 8am. I am SO GLAD he has a star. ๐ Many of us notice "signs" from our luv ones = comfort for us. Mine is any "gentle" breeze in any tree I am near. A reminder that I am luved. Of course we can chat about anything. Any plans for later today? ๐ค Me, nope. I went to Dollar Tree yesterday as I have to use car at least every other day so battery stays charged. Lol, last year I kept AAA in biz and finally my mechanic figured out I was NOT driving enough. Yes, had become a full blown hermit. ๐ฑ Tomorrow will be Food Lion. Circus, luv that name. I have NO idea how old Mister ๐ is and TREASURE every morning he scratches my front door after being out ALL NIGHT. My little rebel. ๐

Well, think Iโll go make a cup of tea and relax.

Theresa @TheresaF849375 , you are NOT feeling well & just lost him dear friend. What you are feeling is NORMAL. ๐ As you know I have my 1st Counseling Session set up for May 27th. GRATEFUL Medicare pays. Hmmm, NO pressure - maybe this may work for you? My depression hit me this year with missing my daughter. It has been 5 years of TRYING to make it back to Florida. And "snuggle" with Circus ๐ and Dalton ๐. Mister ๐ gave me some MUCH NEEDED attention today. Lol, now he is out ALL NIGHT probably stalking the chipmunks, poor babies. Luv, Nicole ๐ค๐ค๐ค

Hi dear friend. Was wondering, are we the only two chatting, am I that lucky to find such a good friend in youโฆthank you. Iโm watching house hunters. Love these people looking for homes, but canโt compromise. Do you ever wonder how long their marriage lasts if they canโt share a closet??? Anyway, thank you for being here with me. How was your day? Did you go out and do anything fun? Was your weather nice? Well, I think Iโll go sort more pictures and papers โฆhave a wonderful evening, and nightโฆ

I donโt feel like going on,โฆjust so tired. I know itโs just the physical and mental part.
Iโll be ok. How are you today? Is Mister out surveying his neighborhood? Do you suppose he goes to another house and pretends to be lost? He sounds like quite the rascalโฆ๐๐ธ

Hi,,,,just sitting here,โฆI did go to see my new Dr today, she was so sweet. Have you noticed, the doctors are young enough to be our grandchildren. Maybe thatโs why she was so good with me and my life. She is referring me to a counselor that works with widows. She asked me if I was talking to anyone, and I mentioned you, that we chatted and she liked that if we couldnโt sleep, chances were that we were both up to chat. Thank you for that, and she thought it was really good.
So the light went off, well, thatโs goodโฆguess Iโll go see if Dalton wants to make his last trip outside,โฆhave a good restful eveningโฆ.๐๐ผ

Hi Nicole, went to bed and now back up. Just so very tired. My granddaughter and our daughter both had their birthdays last week. I know they are both missing Dan. So many firsts.
I did get referrals from my new Dr for counseling, I wrote the names down but havenโt researched to see if any one of them will fit my needs. Does that make sense?
Well, I just wanted to check on you. Is your car still running ok? I hope so. Iโll chat later. I really am still having difficulty with finding our last conversation, sorry, my brain is still foggy. Talk Soon, Theresa๐๐โโฌ
