groups

It appears with the recent changes to eons, we have lost our welcome message. I will work on reposting it. I also changed our group photo. I would like to thank Kathy, beaniekath, for allowing us to honor her Jack for the past month or so, with their photo and a tribute to him.

I would like to honor another with their photo and post their tribute. I would like to make it someone with a birthday, anniversary, or date of passing during the month of October. If this fits your spouse, please PM me with the information and post their picture, if not already there, in the group photos. I will be pleased to do my best to honor them as we have been doing in the past months.

Another think I would like to bring before the group. Due to work, family, and church activities, I feel I am not able to devote as much time to this wonderful group as would like. Therefore, I am looking for someone will to take over as manager. Of course, if no one wishes to volunteer I will remain as long as needed and try to muddle through. I do know it is the members of this group, and not my management, that make the group what it is, a place where we LOVE each other through. Again, PM me if you are willing to take the group. I just ask we keep things the way they are and not make wholesale changes.

Thank you one and all for making this group so wonderful.

Even though I don't post everyday, I am here at least 3-4 times a day checking in on everyone.
I have noticed alot of people that hasn't posted for awhile.
I hope eveyone is doing ok, so let's us know what is happening in your lives now.
Post us a note under this thread to let's know that at least you were checking in.
I hope peace, happiness, and the best for everyone as we move in to the fall of this year.

I'm glad you found this group, but I'm a little confused. On your profile it indicates that you were divorced this year...no mention of losing a spouse to death.
If you do qualify for this group, I'm sorry, and I'm glad you are here. As you feel like it, tell us a little about yourself.

This is the second anniversary that I have spent without my babe, we would have probably went out to dinner, Watched a little TV, gone to bed and made love all night since it comes on a Friday this year. He always bought me flowers, carnations, and we made a big deal of it. so far, nobody has said a word to me about it. Oh, well, what the hell do I expect, it's my shit day, not theirs, sorry, just had to play my pity song today. Thanks guys for you always being here just on the other side of my computer. CC

sometimes I read all these messages and wonder how we have all made it thru this past year. I wish we all lived closer together so we could meet a couple times a week for coffee or something because I know I really get tired of sitting here alone. In this small town the only social place is the local bar, and don't really want to get in that scene. Is anyone else on here from iowa? It might be fun to arrange a meeting somewhere with some kind of entertainment. Possibly we could make a yearly thing of it and post it well ahead of time. Group discounts are available on some things. grieving is a emotional thing we are all going thru the roller coaster ride has been awful, sometimes I feel like life will get better, and then something happens and brings it all back again. It will be 18 months the 13th since my house fire and husband dying in it. so many questions, and no answers. Not trying to bring anybody down , just venting. but I think getting together might be a fun thing for all of us. Any takers? Ruth

I'm so glad you found us, but am sorry you've qualified to be here. I hope that you find the compassion and understanding that I've found in this group. When you're ready, tell us a little bit about yourself. There will always be someone who can relate to your place in this journey.

This past week has been rough emotionally. The 5th was the 6-month anniversary of David's death, and I was tense and ugly the whole preceding week. Today, I got off my butt and did some outside work that I had ignored - and it felt really good! I still find myself tearing up when I look at catalogs searching for Christmas presents for the kids. I always see things that David would have really enjoyed. But, overall, I think I am on the up-swing again!!!
Hugs to all...marty

yesterday was the l yr anniversary. I planned a full and pleasant day and it definitely helped. I've been feeling OK today too. Now I have been through everything once.
I still dread the holidays.
