3 days after my birthday

3 wks before that my fiance died

his heart exploded suddenly-at 49

its a weird weekend for me

i guess last night i wasnt feeling it
as being in here was a great distraction
but when the lights went out and things were quiet
it took about 30 seconds for me to realize what i was feeling...

regardless of what goes on online-
sometimes it serves the strange purpose of escape

i sure miss my pop
we laffed our asses off those last 3 yrs-
at stuff that was sick and morbid-
my family has a bizarre sense of humor

now im really alone

but i will continue to trudge the Road of Happy Destiny

sometimes i smell him and say hi and sometimes i feel him say it back

now you all can discard any remaining shreds of doubt that i am

weird-

dancing

Ohhh, love...!! You really have been through the mill, haven't you?? I feel for ya, honey.... truly I do!! If it is of any comfort, albeit it a small one, to be here and offload..... go right ahead. That is what we are all here for.

I am sure you don't feel much like laughing at the moment but sometimes a little frivolity can help. And, besides, you will probably discover that you will find strength and resolve from somewhere.......

If you wanna bend an ear, feel free to mail me, yeah?? comfort hug

no offense to anyone
but i have met some great women on this site


its not so heavy to carry today
im just sad

the main problem is that i was injred after his passing
and became very isolated-literally from people
and then a self imposed exile as i grieved those losses
and my own physical state

im better now
but im still alone-
waaaayyy

so im workin on reaching out
here
some charity work
etc.

yes-being in my head alone
can sometimes be like going into a bad neighborhood
something i shouldnt do...

however-that said-im off for awhile
maybe a shoot em up flick will be just the thing
roll eyes

I miss My Mom, She Died Oct. 26th, I was with her when she went, so I know a little bit about how you feel.
All I do is think of the good times we had that seems to help me when I start missing her, it is normal to do this.
But you seem to be fine from what I can tell.
Keep your chin up and take things in stride.

I admire you for coming thru a really painful and difficult time in your life.
I know that feeling of being alone, even when you are surrounded by people.
Keep reaching out sweetheart.

wow

i had a nap and the weirdest most awful dream
that i had simply moved away and just now gone to visit
and he was in better health and very prosperous and rejected me in front of all these 'hangers-on'-(public humiliation is a deep rooted oddity for me)

ohhh it was just weird and like i was trapped in the feelings in the dream

moping


crying

and i went back again the next day

welll----i spose i do have a difficulty in letting go-

yippeeskippy!
like i feel like growing today-

doh

anyway thanks you guys! comfort

This thread just happen to be making the rounds, and it caught my eye.

It was 2 years ago yesterday Sept.16th, that my mom passed away.
3 weeks later my 2nd best friend died 2 days before her 54th birthday and 1 year before my mom, my older brother died from lung cancer at 59.
My dad also died at 59 when I was a teen.

I had a bit of a hard day yesterday, but I am starting to get back to "normal" It took me almost 2 yrs! Sometimes it takes a lot longer than that!

We all have a bizarre sense of humor in my family too, but there aren't many of us left!

I dream about mom more than I used to, and I swear my dog sees her!
She always looks with her ears up, over in the direction of the small urn I have of my moms creamains.
Sometimes my dog stands in the hall facing that same direction, and seems to look someone up and down,and acts like she's listening.

Weird, I know!
