Someone is born and someone passes away every day. A date sadness for you is a happy day for others. Yes life and death, hard to understand, and where we are in this life. <br /><br />The days keep rolling along, we can bury ourselves in hopelessness, or make good use of our time. That date is waiting for us when we pass on..<br />Peace be with you..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-38854475307712349552013-09-01T18:01:49.480-07:002013-09-01T18:01:49.480-07:00We are not alone.

It feels like the end of the world and none of my friends understand. They carry on with their life while I am going through a tornado-like life change. Crap! I wonder the same question. Why can't I grow old with him? However, I have become a book reader lately. It helps me understand more about life and death. Check out Tuesdays with Morrie or books by a human-spirit medium James van Praagh. Hope someday we will understand why this happened to us at such young age. You are a great friend. I wish I had a friend like you. Great post too, Melina!

Great post, though I ...Tell it like it is, Melinda. Great post, though I am so sorry for the sentiment. There are days when we are able to pull it all together, to be grateful and to see the positive, and then there are days when life just gives us CRAP. I, too, felt completely alone in becoming a "young-ish" (in my 40s) widow. I guess one positive is that when it does happen to others, like your dear friend, we do the best we can to make it less lonely for them. That's what Soaring Spirits, Michelle, Camp Widow, and this wonderful blog does for all of us. Every little bit helps. I will always be grateful for this widowed community, and for all of you who share here. Sometimes it's the only way to see our way through the crap. Your friend is lucky to have you. xx Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-47700749173346739042013-09-01T05:23:41.077-07:002013-09-01T05:23:41.077-07:00Melinda, you couldn't have put it better - it ...Melinda, you couldn't have put it better - it is all total crap! I am 39 and my 35 year old husband died by suicide 12 weeks ago tomorrow. I hate Mondays even worse than usual now. I hate sweet little old couples and even not so old couples. I am so jealous of them and what I will never ever have. My daughter told me yesterday that I will make a cute little old lady ( I have no idea why ) but all I could think was I dont want to be a little old lady cos my little old man is not here! Its not fair and I dont want to play this game any more. I want to turn back the clock and have it not happen. I want it to be a mistake. Crap. Exactly. Thank you.
