  1. (((Nova))), it's so nice to see you again. I certainly remember you and your journey with Harry. I saw your post late last night and I didn't know what to say then and I don't know what to say now. It has been 4 1/2 years since I lost Mike and it has been a horrible struggle for me. I think it varies a lot from person to person. For me, I lost Mike at a time when my own health was not good, our home was in need of repair, when I had no money and no help... and I hate to say that 4 1/2 years later I am struggling with all the same issues and things seem to have gone from bad to worse for me. From what I have observed, the widows that had a job, better health, money and a social life fair much better. It's hard to get on with your life if you have no way to get there. I still cry a lot and can't talk about Mike without breaking down. For me, Mike was my soulmate, my best friend.. my everything.. I was so blessed with the perfect marriage. I feel really blessed to have known what that was like because not everyone has that. So, you can see why I hesitated to answer you , but then again maybe we should just consider ourselves blessed to have known a love like we had. I don't think we should beat ourselves up or even compare ourselves to others because I think each person has so many different variables in their lives which influence how well they are able to pick up and move on. I don't think we ever forget them, but I think if we can find a way to find comfort in our lives without them . I'm just rambling here, but my point is that I don't think anyone can answer you because every one of us has unique circumstances which help influence how we will live alone.

    Sending you big hugs of understanding and lots of positive wishes for brighter days ahead. Your Harry was a blessed guy to have had you buy his side. Take care and stay in touch.

    Hugs,

    Sue

    PS: Many of us are on Facebook . You might want to keep in touch with us there and play games too.. ;)

  2. Susan, the obituary is so beautifully written and helps us to know more about your mom. My heartfelt sympathies go out to you and all of her family and friends. I know she will be missed and remembered very fondly by many. May God be with you and yours as you go through the sometimes very difficult days ahead.

    Hugs,

    Sue

  3. (((Michelle)))), I posted on facebook , but I want you to know that you have been in my thoughts today. Those of us who have lost family and friends understand. It's not easy and anniversaries come with a mixed bag of emotions . God Bless.

    Hugs,

    Sue

  4. Judy, many people have had almost miraculous results from Tarceva . I'm praying you will be one of them. You did well with Alimta and some people have had severe reactions to it. Everyone seems to react so differently to different drugs. Enjoy your time until you actually start and try to have positive thoughts. Lots of cyber hugs headed your way and prayers going up.

    Hugs,

    Sue

  5. (((Susan))), I just want you to know that your mom and your family is in my prayers as you go through this very difficult time. Hope your mom will be comfortable in her own home. I'm sure having you with her has been a real comfort. I hope hospice will be helpful to all of you. Keep us updated when you can .

    Hugs,

    Sue

  6. (((Judy))),

    I can see that I don't get to this board near enough. My dear friend, I am so so sorry to be reading about the progression. You have been and are such an inspiration to so many . You have given so very much of yourself to this community and now it's time for you to take some of that support for yourself. You are dearly loved here and we want to do whatever we can for you as you face this new challenge with a new weapon from the arsenal. God be with you , Judy. I know I will be stepping up my prayers for you. Hope Tarceva is the silver bullet for you. Please keep us updated.

    Love,

    Sue

  7. Wow, Denise,

    That really is something that the two guys met and had so much in common. Sounds like a new friendship in the works. Sometimes, I just have to believe that there is a lot more than coincidence involved over things that happen in our lives. Thanks for sharing.

    Hugs,

    Sue

  8. Eric,

    I just want to be added to "team Eric"... we might call ourselves.. all out here sending positive vibes and prayers for much success in your treatment. You can do this , one day at a time and we will be out here cheering you on. Your fantastic attitude will take you far.

    Wishing you the very best,

    Sue

  9. (((Ronnie))),

    Sending a big cyber hug to you. So sorry to read about your health issues. Having to deal with them alone, without Pat must be very tough . I know everything is harder for me, since I have to do it alone. I'm just so sorry for all the pain and grief you are going through, all at once. Just keep posting and know that there are many of us out here, even though we don't always post every day, who TOTALLY understand. Sometimes, it just helps to write things out and share them with people who can relate to your feelings. Take care of yourself and keep in touch.

    Hugs,

    Sue

  10. Ronnie,

    My heart goes out to you as you grieve the loss of your pet . It's never easy and it's especially hard when you are already grieving the loss of someone you love. Just know that we understand here and I know, first hand, how much it means to be able to express your feelings among people who understand and care.

    Hugs,

    Sue

  11. Kasey,

    Six years is just music to my ears. Such a beautiful lady you are, inside and out. I'm so thrilled to be helping you celebrate this awesome anniversary and I look forward to helping you celebrate many many more. You are truly an inspiration and a friend to us all. Thank you for sharing and caring, always.

    Love,

    Sue

  12. It's good to hear that your mom is doing so well now. She sure is a fighter and I know it hasn't been easy for her. I am so sorry your family is facing the same fears again. I will keep your Dad in my prayers , as well as the rest of your family . Your parents are blessed to have you looking out for them. Please keep us updated.

    Hugs,

    Sue

  13. Ginny,

    I posted on this day on facebook, but I wanted to post here. I had only been a member a couple of months when you lost your "Duke". What I do remember is that your love for him was quite evident then and remains evident to this day. Earl would be so very proud of you. You truly inspire me , my lcsc and facebook friend.

    BIG Hugs,

    Sue

  14. Hi Judy,

    Was just reading your post and it brought to mind many flashbacks of doctor appointments for myself, my kids, my hubby , family etc.. that the anxiety level zoomed after the mention of a certain concern and the doctor's reaction to it. Your doctor would be negligent not to followup and I respect him for doing so, but try to think positive until you have reason to do otherwise. Nausea is just something that can happen due to so many things.. For example, I'm not a cancer patient , but I found certain medications for acid reflux make me continuously nauseous.. Have you started any new meds by chance? Just thinking and of course hoping and praying for a simple problem with an easy solution. Let us know how all turns out.

    Hugs,

    Sue

  15. (((Lily))),

    Somehow, hugs just don't seem like enough with all that is going on in your life. I have told you this on facebook, but will tell you again how very sorry I am about the loss of your Misty. Take care and know that you will be in my prayers.

    Hugs,

    Sue

  16. ((((Randy)))),

    And two months later, I lost Mike. Sometimes, it just seems like it was yesterday. I do understand Randy and I keep you in my prayers , always.

    BIG Hugs,

    Sue

  17. Hi Sue,

    Another Sue here and I want you to know that you both will be in my prayers. Good news on all the shrinkage. Hope there will be improvement in kidneys and effusion very soon. Know that we are out here praying for you and Kurt. Keep us updated, please.

    Hugs,

    Sue
