LOL, I HAVE to add..anyone reading my last post might think our 49 years together were full of rainbows, kittens, hearts &flowers..lol but life isn,t like that. Of COURSE we disagreed on a lot, it would have been boring!  Did we have arguments? Of course we did! U live,with someone that long, there are going to be a few weeds on the primrose lane..but that is life! I can honestly say, even if we were angry, it NEVER lasted until the next day. It would usually feel like a stupid argument, and we would laugh, and make up. Ironicly all these memories are flooding back to me, after 6 years of blocking everything out..and the are GOOD and make me smile.

To everyone..I hope Valentines wasn,t too stressful for you. I wish you all good days, and wonderful, loving memories. 

I was talking to a few folks in the senior park I live in...and there are SOOO many people here, who had bad marriages, and divorces..they are angry. Yes, we may have lost our loved ones..but we were blessed to have had such love. I know I was, and even tho Bob isn,t here on THIS plain, I feel soo fortunate to have had the love I DID! This  soothes me, and diminishes alot of anger and pain of loss I might experience. 

My memories make me smile, and give me comfort...I hope your do, too.

Hi Sara.

Thank you so much! We both are at that six year mark, but sometimes it feels like only last year. I had a peaceful yet somber day, but blessed to have another day at all! Hugs and well wishes to you dear lady!

Wishing everyone a calm peaceful Valentine's Day - this can be a rough day for us all here. Here's hoping we all can focus on pleasant memories of ways we expressed of love for our spouses and they for us.

Love, Chuck

Hi Mary Jane,

It will be 8 years this coming November when I lost my Mark; for me the journey I have been on since was not what I imagined my life would become.  So many changes and adjustments that I could not have planned by myself; there had to be a power greater than myself at work.  Without this site and the input from others I do not believe that I would have been open to changes.  At the time I joined 7 months had passed and I was convinced that I was going crazy and that my life was over.  Finding a routine balance with work and taking advise from those who were willing to share their stories and struggles kept me going and eventually I found a balance that I could live with.  For me it was about changing into someone willing to bend and sway when the wind pushed itself against me; my first instinct was to stand ridged against the wind.  it got exhausting and eventually I found that it I turned around with my back against the wind it wasn't as bad.  In fact, it helped me move forward, pushing me along.  I do not know if this makes sense, but it is the best way to describe my journey.  Each of us have to find our own balance and path forward.  It is OK to be in pajamas, it is OK to cry until your head hurts and you do not have any tears left.  All of these symptoms are raw grieve and we each will heal differently.  You are always in my prayers, and you should know that you are still healing and that each one of us love and care about you Mary Jane.

Lots of hugs to you my sister in Legacy,

Steve G.
