  1. I am so very sorry that you received such a hurtful message. 

    When people you know do this to you it sure slams you into the hard ground.  It takes your breath away and breaks your heart a little more each time.  I wish I had the solution to dealing with these situations in a way that educates the person but does not leave me with more sorrow in my life.

    Some say that these people don't mean to hurt us and that we should be more understanding.  The words from a friend hurt more than those of an enemy.  The betrayal is horrific feeling.  I am glad you can come here to share with those of us who are supportive and have some real understanding.  I find myself searching for only those people who can understand; trying to find a safe place to be myself.  I have not been very successful and each time I must suffer the thoughtlessness of others my grief deepensdeepens.

    I'm sending you a prayer and a hug and I will continue to wish for more kindness to enter your world.

  2. I sure can relate to what you are saying Gwen.  There is no way I can adequately describe the feelings of being left to fend for myself and swim the storms of grief.  Each day poses the same troubles, day after day just trying to keep your head above water.  And when the huge waves hit I often hope the end will be soon.  I keep going because I must.  This wasn't in our plans but every day brings an opportunity to to find something to hold on to. 

    I hope you will find something to hold on to Gwen.

  3. Today I finally was able to deal with a bank with regards to an RRSP that was in my husband's name.  Two years of being treated like a subhuman by a bank manager.  There was no Will but I was the legal wife and beneficiary yet all I got was the runaround.  All the terrors I suffered for about $1,000.00  

    I have been stalled with doing so many things because of this.  An emotional stall where I feared trying to get on with the 'business' of learning to 'deal' with life.  I haven't taken my husband's name off the bank accounts we shared, I have not filed taxes for 2015.  I have not changed the name on some of the bills to my name.  He did all the banking because handling money makes me nuts.  

    The me that I was before Gord died had backup.  I don't have that now and my confidence has been shattered.  

    How do you survive this life after...  I don't have an answer.  I am struggling along doing what I can to get through each day.  I'm not any worse off than anyone else but this forum is the only place I can come to find reassurance that I'm doing ok.

    Maybe today's success is the beginning of taking charge of my life.  

    Goodnight to my love in heaven.  I sure miss everything about being with you.  It has been 10 years since we bought this place and I'm busting my all to keep it and honour you while doing it.  ❤️

  4. This picture is just the other day here on the west coast of Canada.  I don't like my picture taken but I felt so good at the time.  This is Scout, my temporary horse - I am keeping him until his owner can afford to care for him. 🐎

    We may still get some flurries of snow but the chances of a big snowfall or constant freezing temperatures is low.  

    I knew a week ago that spring had arrived as I saw two new born lambs, pussy willows and I heard the frogs croaking.  I hope everyone will enjoy some bit of spring soon.
