Just pumping gas and taking out trash (yes I was a princess) are tasks new to me since he did everything so I wouldn't have to. anyway, thanks so much to those of you further along the journey for reaching back to us who are new and feel raw..<br />Margoldbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14888769601432091835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-65228670774041062582013-07-05T00:10:04.766-07:002013-07-05T00:10:04.766-07:00You look beautiful and Im SO happy we finally met!...You look beautiful and Im SO happy we finally met!!!Kelley Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17289972201201027609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-17532356659947813822013-07-01T07:23:42.099-07:002013-07-01T07:23:42.099-07:00Bethann,
Post your accomplishments in the three go...Bethann,<br />Post your accomplishments in the three good things section of the site. There will be someone there to cheer you on. We get it. It is good to celebrate all accomplishments. I am impressed about the screens. It is one day at a time. <br /><br />Melinda,<br />I love your dress for the banquet. <br /><br />Janine,<br />You are always an inspiration.<br /><br />Maria O.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-72376986379357420192013-07-01T00:15:46.736-07:002013-07-01T00:15:46.736-07:00Bethann,
I'm so sorry that you have a reason ...Bethann, <br />I'm so sorry that you have a reason to come to this site, but since you do, I'm glad that you found us. <br />I know that you hate the word "widow", and really hate the thought that that word describes you. But I think that you will find, in a year or so, that "widow" will mean something different to you. It will one day mean that you are a survivor. You have survived the worst experience that a person can have. And you're still here. <br />You deserve to be proud of all of the things you've accomplished. Heck, I'm proud of you!<br />Please just try to take things one day at a time. You have no time table to work with. Just do the things you want to do..... When you feel like doing them. And only when you feel like it.<br />This is your journey and no one else's. What you do and when you do it is totally up to you ...... and only you.<br />Hang in there.<br />And keep breathing.Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949809367923657970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-3984405362363139922013-06-30T12:09:27.560-07:002013-06-30T12:09:27.560-07:00so i just found this blog. i am a new widow (8 mt...so i just found this blog. i am a new widow (8 mths) and can't believe i have to write that im a widdow... just coming out of stunned disbelief. looking for something... support, understanding, advice ? i'm not sure what iim looking for but will try here. i have done things i didn't know how to do stupid simple things but my DH always did them and no one is impressed that i learned how to get the screens into the windews after removing the storm windews, or that i was able to go into the attic to bag up some of his out of season clothes to give to Sandy storm victums etc. or that i can't move his shoes from under the chair where he laid his clothes. yet. bethannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355158834972571305noreply@blogger.com
