I don’t post very much here. But this forum is the ONLY place I will post.

Minneapolis is MY city. My grandchildren went to summer camp at a church about 3 weeks ago a mile from where this happened. My daughter’s friend has children that go to that school. My son works with a young guy that used to hang out with the killer. THIS doesn’t happen here, it always happens...

Hubby has been gone now for over 9 months. I can still hear him saying over and over again. “Don’t be such a hard head and ask the kids for help.” They have come every time I’ve asked, but I HATE asking.

I like to say that I’m messy but I’m not dirty. My husband was very neat. My craft room is messy but as long as I kept the mess inside and could close the door, we were good.

I’ve always wanted to see the Everglades down in southern US. Seeing all the plants and wildlife would be fascinating.

It’s been a process for me. Slow process. But I’m getting to realize that there’s nothing wrong with me also.

Inept, a few weeks ago I went down into a black hole and didn’t want to be here on earth anymore. It’s been 4-1/2 months since hubby passed. . Scared me a lot! I pulled out after a few days. I saw that black hole when hubbys cancer metastasized and wouldn’t go away and had to go on...

It’s been 4-1/2 months since hubby passed. I reached out to the hospice grief counselor telling her I need 6 months before I can start dealing with everything. She kinda chuckled and said it takes a minimum of 5 years if not longer for most people and to give myself grace.

Accept Life as it Comes Had some tests done yesterday. Nothing unexpected but don’t like to see it actually printed out. During procedure I was telling nurse about loosing my husband and she said her husband has dementia. Everyone has problems and heartbreaks. I still miss hubby like crazy but...

I’ve been watching on Netflix crackling fireplaces streamed to tv. Not the real thing but it’s nice listening to the fire and just reading my book.

I’m happy for you Kaila. Yes home is a good direction. 😊❤️
