Hi,
I found your blog via Across the Pond. I hope this blogging thing helps you feel better.
I felt so sad reading your blog.
I can't imagine what it must be like for you. Words cannot express how you must feel.
So sorry,
Rosemary
Please visit my blog sometime.

Jen - I posted about you today so perhaps you will hear from some new friends.
Hope you're doing better and that your new apartment is beginning to take shape. If you need any decorating help these new blog friends are the ones who will inspire and assist.
Had to laugh when Paula called me a "creative homebody" in her blog - but I do have a great time and love feathering my nest!!
Stay in touch.
Hugs - Mary.

Thanks for the comments Rosemary .. writing helps me to handle things better .. it's a release for me. I started the blog because my sister wanted to blog and didn't know how, so I got one going so I could help her .. and now I'm a regular blogger!
I'm sorry my writing is so sad .. but eventually I'll recover.

Hello. I discovered your blog today via Across the Pond, too. I just wanted to let you know that I'm glad you're blogging. I've found that writing about one's life and thoughts can be somewhat therapeutic at times. I know it's not easy to lose a loved one. I lost my mother 13 years ago when I was only 25 years old. My dad passed away 6 years ago this August. I've often found comfort in this little saying: "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." I hope you find comfort in that as well. :)

I think it's great that you're living with your sister now. It's nice that you can keep her company and vice versa.

I hope your shingles go away soon. When you're feeling better, be sure to visit my blog.

Take care and God bless,
Lindy :)

Hello, I found your blog through Mary at Across the Pond.

I'm so sorry for your loss. We lost our precious baby grandson, last November. He wasn't very old, but he made a huge impact on our lives. What Lindy said is so true. Elijah does live in our hearts forever. He's one reason why I began blogging in March. Even though I still feel sad, the blogging has helped very much.

I can understand your Shingles. I've had them twice. The first time was the worst. My youngest daughter and her husband lost everything in a fire, but were so lucky to come out of it uninjured. This was shortly after their wedding in 1996. Not long after that, my Shingles came. I thought it was the worst pain I had ever had and the rash was very uncomfortable. I don't have scars. The second time was shortly after getting some scary health news. The week before I was to have surgery, here were the Shingles again. That time not as bad as the first. They attached on my left side both times. I still feel a twinge of pain now and then, all these years later. They will get better for you and should you have them again, I'm sure they won't be so severe. Both times, mine were stress related.

Didn't mean to rattle on, but did want to give you my Shingle experience, so you will know it will be better one day.

Please come by and visit, soon.

Pat

Hi Pat .. thanks for your note ... I had a shingles vaccination .. insurance paid most of it ... I feel a lot better now because if
I do get it again, it wont be nearly as bad ... that's what they say! I'm hoping not to get it again ... I don't anticipate marrying again so wont be exposed to another loss although nothing could be as bad as losing my dear, dear Rich.
Thanks again ..
