blueeye Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I finally was able to walk back into the oncology clinic today. I work right across the street and talk to the nurses and sometimes Mom's doctor daily. But today I walked in there and right back to the treatment room. It was totally work related and I could have gotten out of it but I am proud I was able to do it without tears...until now. Just wanted to share with folks that might understand.

Larry's Wife Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Blueeye, I totally understand. One of Larry's nurses really liked his aftershave. Wanted to get some for her husband. So he gave her a spare bottle. Well, now I find myself with another spare bottle. And I haven't delivered it yet. I hope I will be able to someday soon.

shellit74 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 leslie, I can TOTALY relate... it has been practically 4months since my Dad passed... and except for the moments right after and a bit during the funeral, I havent had a "breakdown" BUT the one time that I felt the closest was when I went to visit the nurses after Dada passed. I would like to see them again, but it is just too hard. Hopefullu someday, I will be able too. Shelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieB Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 You made a big step thru your grief, and you survived it. One step at a time. The first is always the most difficult. (((hug))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminkw Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Good for you blueeye for taking advantage of an ordinary work situation that helps push your way through the pain. Judy in Key West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
