So glad to hear from you, my friend. Life in general can be demanding without our help at all. So sorry to hear about your neighbor passing and your friends' family passing. That would be too much for anyone to bear…"

Good to hear from you and that you are still going strong. We all have had to go through this as if we had any choice in the matter, I can now add lol...

I am constantly surprised how certain dates will forever be with us and the impact they had on our lives while our loved ones were still with us and how sad we are now to lookback and remember the happy times and not so…"

"Dear Mary Jane,
Ghosts and Angels appear in and out of our lives on their own timetable, so when we are expecting them to show up, they tend to disappoint us. The best gifts from them are the ones when we least expect them. The other…"
"Mary Jane,
Hang in there, emergency room visits for any reason is scary for me, let alone a stay in the hospital. Please know that you are and still in my prayers each day. Praying for a speedy recovery and God's loving embrace of a…"

"Great to hear from everyone! 8 years have passed since Mark's passing, and I must add that on some days it seems like yesterday. Those times have subsided, but it does not change or lesson the loss. Time does help heal but it…"
"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…"

January%202015.jpg I took this photo in January 2015 just two short months after Mark's death, I had traveled home to Jacksonville, Florida and drove out to the Beach with our dog Bella. A "Nor-Easter" was blowing cold wind in and there were maybe 3 other brave souls…
All The People in My Life

I have created a blog page on Face Book @Stephen.goodwin264.
It is a collection of short stories about all the people in my life and how their influence have helped to make me the person I am today. So far I have completed 3 short stories and will continue to add new ones. My goal is to literally include everyone I have journeyed with in this life and the ones I have yet to meet. Hope you visit my page and I look forward to your feed…

Check the top of the "Comment Wall" (main page), and you will see a list of "Discussion Forums", one of them is the first link you posted (Grief so great it hurts).

- Hi Steve,
Thank you for the friendship. Do you live in Dallas or NJ?
I live in Richardson.
It's been a tough few years for me, losing my partner suddenly and both of my parents over a few years. I even lost my dog...When it rains it pours. My live has changed in so many ways...I found this site and home to find out more about the grieving process. My family was not close, so suddenly finding fillings of loss has been devastating . It's a rather long story. Hope you are having a great weekend

- For those who believe:
I wish I could tell you of all that God has planned
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn’t understand
But one this is for certain though my life on earth is o’re
I am closer to you now than I was ever before
And to my very many friends trust God knows what is best
I’m still not far away from you, I’m just beyond the crest
There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb
But together we can do it taking one day at a time
It was always my philosophy and I’d like it for you too
That as you give unto the world so the world will give to you
If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain
Then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain
And now I am contented that my life was worthwhile
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile
So if you meet somebody who is down and feeling low
Just lend a hand to pick him/her up as on your way you go.
When you are walking down the street and you’ve got me on your mind,
I’m walking in your footsteps only half a step behind
And when you feel the gentle breeze or the wind upon your face
That’s me giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace
And when it’s time for you to go from that body to be free
Remember you’re not going you are coming here to me.
I will always love you.

Steve, I am going to be one of those that will tell you to take your time. I strongly suggest no to make any life altering changes within the first year. Your post hit home for me. Before my husband passed I retired from a job which I loved and was so respected but I did it with no regrets to take care of him. After he passed away I confined myself to the sofa or bed and it it were not for my dogs I might still be there.
I have no clue what God has in store for me or why am I here and he is not. I guess why is an unanswered question we will need to figure out in time. I try my hardest to stay positive and so when I am down I need to count my blessings and not my heart aches and that keeps me going.
Grieving such as ours is a baby step process and unless someone has lost their soulmate, best friend, spouse all rolled into one they will never understand the pain we are in. They will never understand the pain lingers and never truly goes away! Take one day at a time Steve and remember to count your blessings and take life slow for now. Sending big hugs your way. Hugs, Jane P.

Helpful Tips:.
▪ Keep busy and continue your routine of work and activity. Many expressed the great help they received from prayer.
▪ Let your grief manifest itself; don’t try to hold it in. The sooner you grieve and weep, the sooner you will pass the period of acute grief.
▪ Don’t isolate yourself; mix with people and allow them to mix with you. If it helps you, talk freely about your lost loved one.
▪ As soon as possible, take an interest in other people and their problems. Try to help others, and you will help yourself."
