Thank you all for your kind words of support and prayer. I can honestly say that some days things seem to go okay, others not so okay. It doesn't seem to take much to get the waterworks flowing. I really need a lot of the prayers today. It will be our 32nd anniversary. Our son tells me, get out of the house and do something. He is in another state, a thousand miles away. That is easy to say and not so easy to do, especially when you don't like going places. Never have and neither did Richard!! Again, thank you so much and please send them forth today. Shirley :(

RE:hurt
 

I am so sorry you are in pain. I do know loss like that too, and there is no pain worse. I am praying for you. Only :grouphug:time is said heals some of these wounds. It seems as humans we are constantly ecpected to except the unexceptable. I have not found a way to do this. Be good to your self and keep communication open to others who do care about you even if we have never met you. Ginnie

:hug: Shirley :hug: Lots of prayers being said for you today.

Anniversaries and other "dates" that are significant are hard to get through. For me, it was the anticipation of that day that was far worse than the actual day itself was. But, really, every day was difficult and presented it's own challenges.

People would tell me to get out of the house, stay busy, shop, go to a movie, etc. Like that would erase any thought I would have had of my DH. :rolleyes: I know they meant well but it was a struggle for me not to reach out and "touch" them....if you know what I mean!

Please know that you're in my thoughts and prayers. I know right now time seems like your enemy but it will eventually prove to be your friend. There's no shortcut to this. I wish there was because I know what you're experiencing. We're all here for you whenever you need us. Take care of yourself. :hug:

Thank you for talking with me last night. It was really nice. I will call you again if it is okay. The offer still stands if you want to come to Virginia.

Thank you so much for talking with me last night. It was really nice and helpful. I will call you again if it is okay. My offer still stands for stopping here on your way if you come visit your sister when she gets back home. Talk to you soon, Shirley.

hi shirly
 

Hi Sherly, just a little note today, to say hello again. Hurting doesn't go away with just a message or two I know. I want to keep in touch with people if I can. I need this just as much, pain is pain. Hope this day has some moments in it, for you to feel better, just for that tiny time. There are so many on this list that reach out. This internet stuff is something isn't it? I didn't grow up with it, so I find working with them quite frustrating. It does bring people closer together, even though it is just through space. I await for my NS to call, I missed his call, and am bumming about it. Ginnie:grouphug:

A Hug
 

Mrs.Woodhaven;
I am so sorry for your loss, I to just 3 weeks ago lost my one and only brother to lung ca, and 6 weeks prior to that I lost my father. You, as I, will never be the same, but I know in my heart that one day we will all be together again. There are days that are better then others, but my love for my brother and Dad would never wish them back, to much suffering on their part. Try to keep the faith, keep family and friends close. I will pray for you and here is your Hug!!

Hey there, Shirley. Hope all is well with you. I was thinking of you and thought I'd check this thread to see if you had popped in. Call me anytime. I'm usually always here.....and up. :rolleyes: My sleep patterns are all over the place so chances are whatever time you call I'll be up! :)

So, so sorry for your loss. You will be in my thoughts and in my prayers. :smileypray:
