Leah Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 I have been reading this board for a few weeks, just had not gotten up the courage to register until now. Part of me doesn't want to face this, the other part knows I have to.My name is Leah and I am 46 years old. On May 25th Jerry and a friend went for a Motorcycle ride, a few hours later I got the phone call, there has been an accident. When I got to the hospital they told me that Jerry didn't make it.Jerry was 47. We had been married 17 years. I feel at a complete loss, he was my other half....I have two kids from a previous marriage who Jerry raised as his own. He was never able to have children, so mine became his and our 4 grandchildren were the light in his life. Most days I walk that thin line between feeling as though this is just a dream and I will wake up and he will be here and feeling as if I am in a nightmare and praying someone wakes me up. Does that make sense? I went back too work and am "functioning" I am trying to figure out how to pay bills etc on one income instead of two. Trying to make it through each lonely night.....just trying to remember to breathe.I bought the book I wasn't ready to say goodbye and found this board, which I am so thankful is here.Hugs to all.Leah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find the people on here are true and loving people!!!! They care, they love, they support. I am 10 months into this horrible journey, I lost my beloved Dan to cancer,he was 41 years old and I was 40. We have 3 children together. I know your pain and emptiness, I am here for you as many others. I walk beside you in this incredible hard journey one step at a time, one minute or day at a time, you have many people who care. I am praying for you.Love, Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
