[1] Take That Step To FEEL BETTER.

 

[2] YES YOU CAN DO IT!!!

 

[3]  ๐Ÿ“š  BOOK TITLE: ONE STEP AT A TIME!

 

Josh Bleill tells people he had โ€œone bad dayโ€ while on combat patrol in Fallujah, Iraq, on October 15, 2006.  That day, an IED struck his Humvee, tearing through the vehicle and killing two of his fellow marines while severely injuring Bleill and his best friend.  He awoke five days later with to learn of the catastrophic loss of his two friends and both of his legs. Recovering physically presented a great challenge, but the mental recovery was the toughest battle. For three and a half months he never left the hospital because he didn't want people to see his injured body. In One Step at a Time, Bleill shares the story of his own personal redemption and the many life-changing moments he encountered, from his enlistment to active duty in Fallujah, through two years of intensive rehabilitation, and ultimately to his job as the community spokesman for the Indianapolis Colts. Readers will be inspired by his undying enthusiasm, infectious joy, and sense of humor as he shares his message of going forward, one step at a time.

Hi everyone.  Here I am in Idaho!  Moving into my new home tomorrow.  What an adventure!  SNOWED YESTERDAY.  Miss chatting with you but once I settle in, I shall return.  The people here are kind and so welcoming.  ONE STEP AT A TIME.  I hope I survive the unpacking.

Woohoo Cadee @Cadee2719 you made it to Idaho! How exciting that you begin moving into your new home today. Continue your one step at a time journey and don't overdo. Unpacking will get done in due time. Enjoy the kind, welcoming nature of people in your new location. It makes my heart feel good to know you are in a place where people are nice and you feel safe!

My sweet husband died after a difficult surgery November 6th. I don't know how to live in this big house alone, it's so quiet. The upkeep is alot. Every room has a memory and story and shared items. I feel so heavy, my arms and legs. So **bleep** sad. I worry about money, still waiting for an attorney to do thier part (filing with courts) so I can fulfil my duty set forth in his living will. I'm just damned frightened and so so sad. I suppose this isn't one challenge. It's a challenge to just be me right now...

So sorry for your loss.  I lost my life partner of 21 years 8/27 so I needed help reached out and I joined GriefShare.  If you go to their website griefshare.org and type in your zip code a list of groups will appear that are near where you live.  So far I have found it quite helpful and I also go for one on one counseling with a certified counselor.

Don't be afraid to reach out.  There is a great deal of support out there.  You just have to search for it.  Best of luck!

@SpringIsHereSoHappy , I really appreciate all of you for helping me and showing me all the love.  I am just a really bad place right now.  Family issues,  worrying about my Mom, financially, physically and mentally. I just feel like it just keeps piling up and I am drowning.  To top it all off,  my deceased husband's 1 year anniversary is the 23rd of this month and I am still figuring out how to live without him. 30 years of marriage and now he is gone
