@Anonymous and others, For anyone in need of some meditation and relaxation I saw that there is an AARP online class on Forest bathing Tuesday, June 20th. I know I can use it so I just registered.

📬Happy Friday All!!!

 

I have 14 more FREE days left of my 30-day TRIAL Amazon Prime, then will do SAME next year. 😉

 

I really DO NOT see what the big deal is about it as after 1st week, I have caught up on ALL the movies, TV shows and audiobooks I had missed from PREVIOUS year.

 

Luv the 7-day FREE Trial for Hallmark, Acorn, Britbox and Audible. 🥳💃

 

Lol, such a "pain" to FIND stuff that "interest" me after my BINGE on my FAVORITES! 🙄🙄

 

Luv you ALL,

Nicole 🤗🤎

God bless you @CarolD435501 It is quite a

journey, greaving. All my best to you. I’m 

coming up on five years and I doubt I’ll ever

fully get over it either. Prayers to you 🙏💜

This site has changed.  It is simply a "shell" of what it was.  First, we are attacked by a person that belittles us for grieving and then we lose the one person that kept us together as a group, checking on us each day and finding ways to cheer us up.  You can see that no one is interested in being on this site any longer.  It is sad that the one place we felt safe is now one we avoid.

I guess I missed some of what you were talking about @Cadee2719 but I certainly understand the part about the one person that kept us together as a group. That person is certainly missed. There are however, still people who come here in need of support and those with valuable experiences to share. I hope that we can continue to utilize the forum as a safe space to provide and receive support from one another.

She dropped off on June 16th. I’m told she was upset about another post. She has dropped off several times before but has always come back. This time I’m not so sure

Going pretty well for me given the time so far.  I'm able to do most things and talk about my wife's passing more easily but still get choked up.  I think progress is finding less tissues in the washer :).  I'm still reading books on grief to understand it.  For me, learning about it does not reduce the pain or the time but at least I know it normal etc. I started talking to a counselor who's pretty good. I was skeptical at first since she is younger than youngest child (26 vs 28) but so far she's helpful.  I just settling in for a long journey.  I did realize that talking to my Dad who's almost 90 about my situation was not helpful so we talk about other things.

 

Take care, Bill

Bill, you hit the nail on the head. And why this site is so helpful. The focus is on the loss and grief process. Whereas talking to family or the very elderly can have a scattered focus. They have their own issues to deal with, and though perhaps have dealt with loss, it's not an issue for them in the present time. Counselors are a good idea. At 73, most everywhere I go these days people are younger than me  lol. One of my adult children is a kayaker. Kayakers are generally friendly and invite solo kayakers to join them on the lakes etc. Getting out like that is a refreshing respite from the pain of loss.

Hi Carol. So nice to hear from you here. Expressing your thoughts and feelings in a journal is an immense help and path to emotional well being. Plus it's your own little place to put your innermost thoughts. And track your progress. Keeping up with things on a daily basis helps to feel grounded in the present day. One foot in front of the other, works. You will feel better soon. Don't forget to eat little meals or snacks throughout the day to keep depression at bay. Thank you for sharing Carol. The people here can help you!

I have had a little hiccup in my life with health issues and are addressing them to get back to healthy again..I find that i fall off the wagon eating wise when I get anxious...I am addressing things that have to be fixed around the house and sometimes that along with the day to day running of it can be over whelming..So take it one day at a time and one step at a time..no need to rush unless it's a major issue...I find that there are days when one slips back emotionally and I let the tears flow and go on from there..I still have to find that inner source of strength some days to get things done. Otherwise I'm okay knowing that there is help if i need it..This hot weather hasn't been good for any outside activities as the humidity brings every thing to a stand still ..Hopefully the weather will become that one can deal with it..Life still goes on so I make the best of it any way I can...

In the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt, "A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor." You @jonibee encounter the rough seas, recognize them, and find ways to get through them the best way you can. Thinking of you and wishing you calmer waters ahead!
