DON & JOYCE
Spider SolitaireAbout Me
I LOST THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IN OCT 2006. HE WAS MY ROCK. THERE IS NO LONGER A ME AS PART OF ME IS GONE WITH DON. I HAVE MOVED BACK TO CALIFORNIA FROM 6 MONTHS IN VIRGINIA AND HAPPY TO BE HOME. NOW, IF I CAN JUST FIND A JOB SO I CAN GET OUT ON MY OWN AGAIN LIFE WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER.
NEW CHAPTER IN MY LIFE:::::: WE FOUND EACH OTHER, BOTH HAVE LOST OUR SPOUSES, HE IS 3 YEARS OLDER THEN ME, WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON. WE CAN CRY ABOUT OUR LOSSES, WE HAVE SHARED ABOUT OUR LOSSES, WE SUPPORT EACH OTHER, BUT MOST IMPORTANT WE ARE ENJOYING EACH OTHER AND ENJOYING LIFE! WHO KNOWS WHAT TOMORROW WILL BRING FOR THE TWO OF US, BUT TODAY WE ARE HAPPY. HAPPY IS VERY GOOD, FOR A CHANGE. WILL KEEP YA ALL UPDATED BUT FOR TODAY LIFE IS GOOD AND HOW NICE THAT FEELS AGAIN.

Joyce, I remember reading some of your posts on the old aarp site. and I am glad you seem to be happier these days. My own husband died 9 months ago. We were married for 60 years!! He was 90 when he died, and I had prayed to God to guide our situation. And God sure did guide every minute of his last months of life. I now lead a Caretakers Support group, as I had been the caretaker of my husband and knew what to teach these women, and I now talk about death with them, as I know that time is coming soon for them. I have moments I call "waves of grief", but overall, I feel I am handling his death real well. One of the "posters" talked about "talking" with his lost spouse. I do the same thing! I used to be a psychiatric nurse, and I think it is a healthy way to handle some of my grief. I feel closer to my husband when I do this. But, as the poster said, one should only do this when alone!! Otherwise, you might get committed to the psych ward. LOL For those who grieve, try talking to your loved one and you will be amazed how you feel, after doing this. When I start feeling too sad, I tell myself to "Stop it!" and I get busy doing something, not letting myself wallow in self pity, as this is not good for me. I have found that reaching out to others, who need help, is another good way to handle your own grief

Well, ladies, I finally found my way here. I like the old forum much better. Just thought I would let you know I found you. I have been busy with a friend whose husband was just diagnosed with terminal cancer. They are in the early days and many more days of sorrow to come.
