    I am so very sorry Judy. My husband Dave was in such a bad way with his breathing too. It is so hard to watch and not be able to relieve their panic and pain.

    I won't go into what happened with my husband because I have written of it before and it is so hard to think over all those awful details, however, suffice to say,I know your pain and my heart goes out to you. Will be thinking of you.

    Dear Peggy,

    I am so glad you found help for yourself and are beginning to get things together again. Thank you for your unselfish and wize post which I think is going to be of help to myself and many of us who are grieving.

    I haven't been posting of late either. I didn't want to come to the board with my problems as I felt that some people expected "long-time grievers" to go on to "so called" "grief and grieving boards". I didn't feel comfortable doing that either. Katie, Thank Goodness set my mind at rest about that with her post.

    It has been almost two years now since I lost my Dave, and I have done everything I can, bar going for counciling, to get out of this "pit." So many times in the last few months I have congratulated myself for "doing well", but then suddenly I have fallen back in again. My soul mate is always missing no matter who I am with and the "aloneness" is becoming too much to bear. If I could, I would rather be with him than here on this earth. Don't worry I wouldn't do anything, I feel ungrateful and sinful for even thinking such thoughts, however I can't help it. I am sure I am not the only one to think that way either.

    I have joined clubs and groups, kept myself busy going out with friends and doing volunteer work etc. I even started a friendship with a widower whom I had been helping through his grief. He however went off and found himself a girl-friend twenty years younger than himself!

    I did not seek grief counciling as I always thought that grief councilors would only re-iterate what I know already, those so called, "stages of grief". I also dread sitting around divulging my private feelings to a bunch of people, (especially in this small town where everyone knows everyone.) After reading your post Peggy, I realize that I will have to seek help and will endeavour pluck up the courage to do so in the next few weeks.

    Once again Peggy, Thank you so very much for sharing. As always, my heart goes out to you and all our "cyber friends" who have lost loved ones.

    Love,

    Paddy

    Great to hear the good news about your Dad's scan Cindy. I am with your Dad, I don't like drinking water either and always I'm always getting into trouble with my doctors aabout it. I drink a lot of tea which is also a diuretic, (sp?) and they don't approve of that! Paddy

    Before I moved in to my condo in MI I had it tested for radon and found the levels were quite high. The lady who lived here before me had no idea that this was the case.I have had this corrected and also installed two radon alarms. They are not expensive and well worthwhile for peace of mind.
