Help with grief

I lost my husband of 55 years April 2nd.  Iโ€™m 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,โ€ฆ

I just need someone to chat with.  Tell them how wonderful he is,โ€ฆshare memories,โ€ฆ

โ€˜Help me maybe get through another day without himโ€ฆ

good morning dear friend. I was worried, I hadnโ€™t heard from you, so I scrolled thru all my messages, and Leo and behold, I hadnโ€™t heard missed you.  A pest, never, I love chatting.  And you can always talk about things other than our grief. I know itโ€™s always with us.  Howโ€™s 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 Iโ€™ve just noticed it, anyway, I think thatโ€™s Dans star, so I talk to it each nite.  Well it wasnโ€™t shining tonite, and I was sad because he wasnโ€™t thereโ€ฆ.just now, I know why, it was cloudy, the rain just started, I can hear it.  So, Iโ€™m glad I,still talked to him, asking if he was okโ€ฆgosh, do you do things too???โ€™ Are we allowed to share more info, or isnโ€™t 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.  Isnโ€™t your car appointment today?  Iโ€™m sorry I missed your chat, never think you bother me,โ€ฆIโ€™m more apt to drive you a bit sillyโ€ฆ.๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’”โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

๐Ÿ“Ž  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.  ๐Ÿ™„  Thanks, yes feeling better. Car Appt is rescheduled to Monday at 8am. I am SO GLAD he has a star.  ๐Ÿ’›  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?  ๐Ÿค”  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.  ๐Ÿ˜ฑ  Tomorrow will be Food Lion. Circus, luv that name. I have NO idea how old Mister  ๐Ÿˆ  is and TREASURE every morning he scratches my front door after being out ALL NIGHT. My little rebel.  ๐Ÿ’›

Hi Nicole.  I donโ€™t feel well, went to Immediate Care, got an antibiotic and a cough prescription, guess itโ€™s the crud everyone has.  So just sitting here, yawning, and sneezing and blowing my nose.  But Iโ€™m ok, itโ€™s just a bug.

how are you?  Itโ€™s the weekend.  Any big plans?  

Well, think Iโ€™ll go make a cup of tea and relax.

ill check back.  Hope you and Mister are having a good day.๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŒธ

Theresa @TheresaF849375 , you are NOT feeling well & just lost him dear friend. What you are feeling is NORMAL.  ๐Ÿ’›  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  ๐Ÿˆ  and Dalton  ๐Ÿ•.  Mister  ๐Ÿˆ  gave me some MUCH NEEDED attention today. Lol, now he is out ALL NIGHT probably stalking the chipmunks, poor babies. Luv, Nicole  ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

Hi dear friend.  Was wondering, are we the only two chatting, am I that lucky to find such a good friend in youโ€ฆthank you.  Iโ€™m watching house hunters.  Love these people looking for homes, but canโ€™t compromise.  Do you ever wonder how long their marriage lasts if they canโ€™t 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 Iโ€™ll go sort more pictures and papers โ€ฆhave a wonderful evening, and nightโ€ฆIMG_4887.jpeg

Iโ€™ll 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 rascalโ€ฆ๐Ÿ’”๐ŸŒธ

Hi,,,,just sitting here,โ€ฆI 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 thatโ€™s 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 couldnโ€™t 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, thatโ€™s goodโ€ฆguess Iโ€™ll go see if Dalton wants to make his last trip outside,โ€ฆhave a good restful eveningโ€ฆ.๐Ÿ’”๐ŸŒผ

Boy, just seems like I blink and days are gone, yet seems like just yesterday I lost him.

Iโ€™m sorry, I am not a very good friend.

Canโ€™t put words together.  I am sorry.  Please donโ€™t give up on me.  Mister Mister wants to stay friends with Circus and Daltonโ€ฆ.

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 havenโ€™t 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.  Iโ€™ll chat later.  I really am still having difficulty with finding our last conversation, sorry, my brain is still foggy.  Talk Soon, Theresa๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›

Dear Theresa

so very sorry for your loss. I have lost my entire immediate family sister, twin, mother is missing person since 1975 and a father who was never that. Unresolved grief has not allowed the hole in my heart to heal. I am hear to listen as the silence of not being able to let these feelings out is deafening!
