karenb Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Richt, right, you guys. I do that and it helps me when I'm anxious or nervous. I just have to say, pets sure help. My Sadie Mae know pages worth of commands but she gives me commands, too. When I say let's go look at the garden, or let's do doggy patrol, she goes to the closet so I'll get my coat, and then puts her nose on my outdoor boots to make sure I do everything I'm supposed to. I know she's taking such good care of me. Thanks.....I'll go now. Have a good evening, you guys....and I mean peaceful, too.Your friend, Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corinne Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 William,My norm is to keep everything in and then lookout, major explosion. I have learned over the years to hide a lot of what I am feeling. On the outside it does not look too bad but inside, what a mess. I have decided to try and stop being this way that is why I am trying to replace the bad thoughts with good ones and taking deep breaths. When you do this though you have to take slooooww deep breaths or you hyperventilate. My life is very hard right now and I am very overwhelmed with taking care of the girls and their needs and trying to find a job here. A lot of my joy comes from posting here and having a little fun with all of you.Hugs & prayers,CorinneKaren, Karen, Karen,You have to stop apologizing for interupting. You could never be an interuption, you are such a joy and source of strength! Hugs & prayers,Corinne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stallyn Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Karen, Animals are such resourceful critters, their ability to sense our well being is amazing, I have fish and added some hermit crabs, I place them in my palm and baby talk to them and they sit there and listen, we really underestimate our pets. Karen have a good nite good friend.Corinne, funny, I do the same, just go about pretending nothing is wrong and make a mess of myself, then a week later the bill comes in. I can't think of anything other than this wonderful group of people and grief counselors keeping the straightjacket from being gainfully employed. I will pray for you to find what that need is for you, you mean alot to me, and I have faith you are doing and will continue to be strong for your girls, heres a virtual hug...(((((()))))))Karen, Plz, always swing in anytime, you are a ray of sunshine!Hugs & Love,William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyn Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) William,Symptoms of hypoglycemia can vary but most of the time it will make u nervous, irritable, weak and tired. I am glad u called your doctor. Being on this forum helps me a lot too..Corinne,U made me laugh when u talked about deep breathing and hyperventilation. I can imagine you.Yes, when u inhale deeply through your nose,u should hold your breath for 4 seconds, then exhale slowly(by pursing your lips) counting for 4 seconds too. Just do it 5x. I am glad u are feeling better now. Edited October 30, 2007 by lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallyn Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 LynI was told long ago sometimes people become unaware of it until the last stages, forgot what the term is, but it scares the wits out of me, I have a appt wed and going to catch up on getting to specialists and playing it safe.Fuuny, I was thinking about that, imagine getting so flustered, and getting your nose sucked in like them cartoons LOLWilliam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyn Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 William,It is a funny thought.(like cartoons). i am glad we didnt lose our sense of humor. I agree that pets have their way of comforting us. When i am feeling so down, i cuddle my dog and play with my cat and they surely made me feel better. Diabetes is quite manageable, but if taken for granted, it can lead to many life-threatening illnesses. Just try to stick to a regular meal plan given by your dietitian, and engaged yourself in regular exercises too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teny Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Bob,Thank you I do like the way of your posting I know Im to poor with english to expres myself .Some answers I have love from my children mother and brother it not the same love I had from YIANY and not the same Igave him.

kayc Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Teny,No, it's not the same love, but it is positive and good all the same and it does give us something to live for. I am trying to learn to live for ME, apart from spouse, children, etc. I think only then do we become truly content and not needy, clingy, etc. I am trying to take lessons from my single friend...I figure he has to have learned something after 65 years of living single.William,What happened to you at your meeting was strange! What do you think about it?...and I like your humor...a week to find it? Karen,Yes, pets are wonderful, I don't know what I'd do without mine! They make the house more wonderful to come home to, and certainly more interesting! I think they have to be one of the greatest gifts God's given us. I have friends who don't like pets and I feel sorry for them, they're missing out! (What would I do without the added expense, responsibility, and fur around the house?!) I have a dog that is becoming incontinent and hard of hearing in her older age, yet even so, she is "family", so I continue to take care of her. Our pets have been there with us through thick and thin, they've lent us comfort and occasional smiles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallyn Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Teny, That is so true, th love we have for our loved one is something intense and irreplacable, it take stime and faith in yourself to find the peace, and seek the mysteries of life and beautiful things will follow. Your english is not a barrier for anyone, a few words is just as much in many, somehow we conncet to each other in ways that common language is not needed.Kay, Hi I thought it was very special that it happened, I didn't feel scared or frightened of it just blessed by the experience and feel there is more to come. I needed it so much and got my prayers answered, though most of you know I am mentally ill, but since my counselor saw it too gives it validation and assurance. Yes took a week, lost it and found it in a shoebox LOL, it is so tiny!Love,William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyJ Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 William that is so strange what happened at your visit ! I would have been so excited and would have taken it as a visit from my loved one ! That is so special and I am so jealous ! Hey what is it that you found in a box and is so tiny? Or maybe I shouldn't ask ? LOLLove,Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallyn Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Wendy,It was strange, and another thing I didn't even freak out, the little box, there was my sense of humor in it, it was tiny LOL I think soon you may get something unexpected, I have a weird feeling about it. Anyways how are you? a big Huuggggg ((((()))))William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyJ Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 William thanks for the big hug (crying) just thinking of getting a big hug from a friend is wonderful. I hope you are right I have been waiting for something big to happen like what happened to you , Steve and I were so close, I can't imagine why he would make me go this long without some sort of sign. Maybe he didn't love me as much as I thought? Maybe he doesn't miss me? You are so lucky, I wish that would happen to me !Love,Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenb Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Wendy, my friend....Here's another big hug, big bear hug! I don't feel Steve is doing anything to make you feel badly, and I'm sure you feel that, too. You know this wonderful husband misses you and loves you still. When you have something that beautiful, you remember the beauty of it all. You are such a lucky person to have cared so much. Please try and remember good things. Bless your heart, Wendy.Your friend, Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallyn Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Wendy, I feel so sad you feel that about Steve, of course he loves you, and remembers you, I don't know why it takes so long, I was very close to Myrna too but perhaps it takes the right second and moment and it happens, somehow the grief hinders it and he may be waiting for the right time, but surely signs happen around you, maybe it be in the silence of your home, or something on tv, theres so many variables. I feel that he lead you to this site, and people can be messengers without knowing it. It will happen, I trust in God's mercy and compassion for us, ask him and you will get a answer. Here, another hug and to Karen too Luv,William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenb Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 You guys....It's amazing to me the love I have in my heart for you, for trying as hard as you do, for caring so much, and for being the kind of people who reach out to others....thank God, for you guys.Your friend, Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyn Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 William, I will keep in mind that 'little box'..will have to remind myself to pull something there everytime i feel down. I need to open it right now too..Wendy, i am sending u a big hug. Your husband is always with you, giving u strength each day. Try to think of the happy memories you shared together. You are a beautiful person because you have loved and cared so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallyn Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Guys, I never knew how to love or reach out to anyone until I met Myrna, and this site has allowed me to grow and cherish each one of you, it is such a ray of hope. I can't imagine going through life without each of you, I learned so much.Lyn, thats a great idea, many awesome things are in the box, and it never empties but always fills with something new and old, I think of this, each time I take something from the box, something better replaces it. OOH I can feel such warmth here, Karen you are so right! With love,William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenb Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 You know it reminds me of how to put a trouble in an envelope and mail it off to God, he can deal with it better than us. Hey, aren't we all about love?Love you...Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyJ Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 All of you I thank you so much for all the hugs and love ! I am just very emotional tonight and I miss Steve so much, it hurts so bad ! I don't know what I would do without all of you, you all mean so much to me and I never want to lose this bond we have formed. I wonder since I took Steve's truck home tonight from work because they fixed the exhaust if that might have had something to do with it. Maybe I am not as strong as I thought to drive his truck for the winter? Won't get very far in the snow with a PT Convertable though huh William ? Well I took my meds after dinner and it is now 11:45 here in Jersey so I am sure Derek is lingering here someplace so before I get yelled at I am going to bed. I love you all and good night !Love,Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stallyn Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Karen, does it fit? LOL That is so cute Love it!!! I get a post it to buy more envelopes and stamps Wendy, not matter how rough it may seem, you are right our bond gives us something the world cannot, no doubt seeing the truck set you off, its hard to not think about it, I still look at the videos and pictures and maybe it gives us some answers. Give yourself credit, you took the biggest step with driving the truck home, I don't think the PT cruiser would do too well, Glad you took your meds, lets make a deal, lets remind each other before Derek really gives it to us, Good nite and love ya all too!William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
