  1. Oh Becky my dear, I am voting for your problem to be STRESS. I do think it has to do with moving back home, job, trying to get things moving on your new home. All of this mounts up and the brain is only so big.

    I have noticed since Buddy's passing that I am getting somewhat forgetful. Today I was sitting at the kitchen table writting out some cks for a few bills when I heard some trucks in the neighborhood. I thought to myself, that sure is a unusual sound. One would have thought I would have gotten up to see but right then I forgot I heard the noise and went back to paying the bills. About 10 minutes later I walked out to the garage and opened it to see the garbage truck down the street. I thought to myself, what is it doing here today, then the lightbulb went off. It was Friday and Friday is garbage day. Things like this are happening more and more. I don't have Stress I don't think, I have loneliness for Buddy and I can't get him off my mind to keep the brain working properly. I wish you could move to an apartment then I think you would be able to get that young brain back on track.

    Hang in dear, it will all work out....much love....

  2. Ginny,

    This sounds all so very fimiliar. I wish with all my heart I lived near by to help you and your family for this is a very hard time all of you are going through.

    I sometimes wish my Buddy were still hear even under those circumstances but then I remember Sunday services about three weeks ago when Father's talk said one must let go of the past and live today for the past is gone. This hit me like a ton of bricks but it did help me for I still cry a lot but I try and say to myself the past is gone, there is only today and that is not guarenteed for the full 24 hours today, it is just for this moment.

    Hold on to dear Earl tightly and talk of all the great times you shared with each other. Oh God, the tears are flowing right now. I feel for both of you. Much love my dear friend to you and Earl....

    P>S> How does one get so attached to people through this puter...I feel like we have been friends all our lives. Hold on to him tight.

  3. Welcome back! So glad you were able to get a new PC. Mine is okay for what little I use it.

    Your daughter will just have to learn the hard way what makes the world go round. I know you are heartbroken but we each have a brain of our own and sometimes we just don't use it right but that doesn't mean that we will crash. It may just be a bad bend in the road right now and with luck it will straighten itself out soon.

  4. I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband. I know the feeling only to well. If you would like to talk you can pm me and give me your phone number or I will give you mine. The next 4 to 8 weeks are extremely hard on the ones left. Just take your time, your mind will wonder and the tears will flow often when least expected but that will be normal. I still cry some but it is getting a tiny bit easier now.

  5. Renee, I sure hope and pray that your husband takes a turn for the good. I see you are down in Louisville, I am in Ft Wright which is outside of Covington. How are you holding up. It is so hard on the caregiver also with the stress levels. I will pray for you tonight too.

  6. I am so very sorry for your loss. The next few weeks will be very hard but knowing that she is pain free is a comfort. I know when my Buddy passed on, that is the only thing that gave me a little comfort knowing he wasn't suffering anymore....

  7. TeeTaa, Give your big beautiful brother a big hug from me when you see him.

    When Buddy entered hospice was the first time he was without pain. He had pain since 9/11/02 till hospice. He to seemed somewhat at ease when hospice started. I know he is at peace now at Rainbow Bridge.

  8. Oh, I am so happy Karen's parents live near by also. I wish yours did to. It is always nice to have family to rely on even if it is not necessary. I had thoughts of driving up and helping you all out with the little one but now I see it is not necessary. I pray that God grants you a very long time here on this earth. Just get over the new hit and get back to living as you have been doing. Much love.......

    PS Buddy, myself and our son and family when there about 4 years ago. It was the best trip I ever took and the most beautiful.....have a great time and leave the worries at home.....

  9. Cindi, I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. I know it is very hard right now with you having no brothers or sisters to talk to. It so helps with others around. Give yourself time as all of us have to do when we are left here on this earth alone and by alone, I mean, alone with our own individual grief. Time does heal the hurt but it never heals the missing of a loved one...

    Kris,

    After taking a minute to think about this I have decided this is a good thing. What a great event you and your dad shared all those years. It is something that a few more years down the line you will want to share with someone else because of the fond memories one gets from this.

    I hope you have a big toast to your father that day and he will be toasting you back.. I do believe that.....not in body but in spirit....

  10. Just saw your post. Not knowing much about your husband's work I will assume he is still working full time and doing the job he has always done and not being subsidized by his employer at all then I would wait to see about the disability from his employer's insurance company. Some are different from others. I will assume that somewhere along the line they will have him file for Social Security disability but would not jump the gun until they say to. He needs to see what they will pay and what their rules are regarding Social Security disability benefits. Nine out of ten the Social Security benefits will be offset $ for $.v Normally they will continue to pay until your Social Security starts then you will pay back as John did so keep that in mind....

    You can pm me anytime if you need more info....

  11. Peggy,

    I know that feeling. It is a good addiction but one must do what one must do. Right now I have the laundry going and the busier went off about 15 minutes ago so the clothes coming out of the dryer are going to be wrinkled again because of this addiction, have a couple bills I need to write cks for but hey, what is more important right now. The dog is by the door, I had better let him out or we all know what will happen. Have a good time off, it is good for the soul to rest the mind. I have to hurry, he is scratching at the door now.....lol...
