Life update: my hernia surgery was performed on November 7th as an outpatient. There was some issue with the anesthesia given as my oxygen levels kept dropping down to 85%. The recovery went fairly well with just a few hiccups. The swelling from the scrotal hernia has reduced to about half the size as before. I am told it may take a while to return to normal. The most interesting beneficial side effect of this surgery is that my appetite is about half of what it used to be. The hunger signals are much diminished and I am still slowly slimming down. I just managed to get over a cold/flu this week that is traveling around. Shalom(Peace).

Life Update: On August 22nd I had a tooth extraction that developed a dry socket. Intense pain for two weeks. It took six weeks for it to heal and I finally got approval to get my much-delayed hernia surgery. It will be outpatient, on November 7th. Surgery time is expected 2.5 hours. I have been preparing and planning for this for a while. The surgery was delayed for several years because of the Pandemic. I'm looking forward to healing and recovery. I am still working full-time professionally cleaning homes. And trying to take some time out to just enjoy the day. It's been over eight and a half years since my beloved wife, Rose Anne, died. Life keeps marching forward... one day at a time. I'm thankful to be able to help others with their Diabetes/metabolic issues, and people dealing with Grief and Healing. I so appreciate our community here and how we are able to listen, share, and support each other. Shalom(Peace)

I feel like I'm on a different planet
iPraiseHim replied to Novi's topic in General Grief & Loss Topics
I write to my beloved wife and to God. They are saved and encrypted on my computer. They are my thoughts and feelings. It helps me to get them out of my head and on electronic notes that I can release. It helps me and gives me Peace. May you find the method that works best for you. - Shalom (Peace) -
At the beginning of this grief, I was encouraged to get plenty of rest and take care of my body with healthy food, water, and movement. I also started a daily journal for my beloved wife and wrote out the thoughts and feelings I was experiencing. Grief is love that cannot be expressed as clearly as when our beloved is with us. I read everything I could here in this forum that Marty and many others provide here. There is a wealth of wisdom and compassionate support. Also, try and connect with a local grief group in your area if that resource is available. Shalom(Peace)

I have learned to live in today. I don't know what the future holds but I know who holds my future. I strive to remember the great memories my wife and I shared each day. I memorized Phil 4:6-8 and strive to apply it each day. Shalom(Peace)

Weaksoul: There is always Hope and a Future! I came to this Forum over eight years ago to search for answers and relief from the pain and loss of my beloved wife, Rose Anne. The pain and grief was so intense and seemed like it would never lessen. This beautiful group listened to my woes, supported and cared for me in a special way since they know and experience this type of loss. I was in "Shock and Awe" for quite a while. We learn to move forward each day. Over time this intensity will lessen. Many of us feel like we will not measure up to the task yet we learn somehow. Share, write, journal, etc... I wrote private letters to my wife and prayed for God's comfort and guidance on this journey. You are not alone. God will never leave you or forsake you. My prayers are simple. "Lord help me". Just as you help your children when they ask for help. My prayers and intercession are with you brother. Shalom(Peace)

Today is my Birthday. This is the ninth one since Rose Anne died. Time marches on. My friend invited me out for dinner last evening and my sister tomorrow. I am thankful I am still able to work and keep up my home. I count my blessings each day. Keep on keeping on. Shalom (Peace be with you)
