  1. That's exactly why I haven't gone to any groups - scared of what may happen.

    But I recently joined a support group over the internet similar to this one where everyone is in the same predicament. They even have a section for over 50 and moving on - which is where I belong. They have trained moderators in the chat forum who have made me feel so good!

    I learned of it from this forum actually and I'll share it for those who are interested:

    I am the type who wants to talk to people, but have found that over the internet is easier for me.

  2. I think there are several of us who read the grieving section because we are in that situation. Your post was encouraging to me who has been a surviving spouse for 9 months now. Thank you for posting under the grieving section.

  3. Berisa, has it really been 17 months already? For me it has been 9 months and it seems like only yesterday. I understand how you are feeling. The photo of of your Dad is wonderful. It is good to hear from you.

  4. Today I light a candle for my Tim who left me 9 months ago in December. I still visit him most every day at the cemetery and it still feels so right. To celebrate his birthday our four little grandaughters and their Mom and I went over and sang "Happy Birthday to Grampa" to him. I think it's our way of helping them to remember him. A new tradition for our family.

  5. Hi Ginny. I absolutely identify with your whole message. It will be 8 months for me tomorrow and the last week has been especially hard for me for some reason I haven't figured out yet. Thank God for family and close friends and the fact that I have a job to go to this fall. I feel like I am close behind in your footsteps. Thanks for reporting in.

  6. The folks who have answered you so far are so smart! They say all the words I want to say to you. Just having my house back to myself was another type of grieving for me - I love my family, but I found out I also needed time alone for a bit. It's been 7 months for me now and I get a little stronger each day. But I still have days when I can not believe he has passed on and the tears flow.

    My best to you and your hubbie and your little one.

  7. Hi Ginny. I too find the need to check in here and I'm always glad to see a post by you. Seeing good news is so great. I feel like we have a lot in common.

    Have a great week!

    Cyndy :D

  8. It's one day at a time for all of us who are going through this. So sorry to hear this. It's important to "keep the faith" and enjoy all the good times that occur; and I'm sure there will be many.

    My best to you and your family!
