WaltC Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Happy New Year to all who have lost a spouse, partner or significant other. And a special Thank You to all who have offered me support since my Jeannie died from cancer in April 2005 - 99 days after the initial diagnosis. I still miss her very much and always will, BUT I do have many many happy memories of Christmases and New Year's Eve past.Blessings to All - I hope your 2009 is a good year for you.:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlg Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I am so thankful for everyone here. I hope everyone had a decent New Year's Eve in whatever way you celebrated. I was with Tom's family and actually had a decent time. I came home, blew him a kiss and popped his ever not so favorite confetti. I had to get back at him somehow.

MikeC Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Welcome Leda,I am sorry for the loss of your husband, but you have found a good place to come and talk about it. I am thankful for this site, too - the folks here have helped me get through some very hard times.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary T Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hi Leda,I found this site a few weeks after my Lou died in January of 2008. I am close to the 1 year mark and it does not surprise me that you are not "back the way you used to be". I don't expect to EVER be the way I used to be before Lou's death. What I am hoping for is that eventually I will feel as though I have a new purpose in life and am able to accept my husbands untimely death in a more positive light. Right now this is not where I am at!I am glad you found us. I hope this site will be of some comfort to you. I can tell you now that you (without even knowing it at first) will contribute to our healing. We all get strength from each other. Sometimes it is from encouraging words but often it is simply getting affirmation of our own feelings and knowing that we are not crazy or alone in the way we grieve and/or choose to cope.

kayc Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Leda,Do you want to share your story, how your husband died, his first name...only if you want. I don't think we ever are the same after losing our spouse, we get what is referred to as a "new normal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
