how is everyone?

I am hanging in there, how about you? I think of you often even in the midst of this deep sorrow. I can't believe that it has been almost two months since I lost Bob. I've been through grief before with the death of my children, but this is so different. I hope you are all doing well. {{{HUGS}}}

Sue I think about you everyday. Whenever I get into my pity party mode I just think of how much you've been through & how strong you have been & still are.....a true survivor that I admire so much.

Two months huh? I'm guessing that barely scratches the surface of your pain.

Are you considering a support group now? Or is it still too soon? You are the only one that can answer that question I suppose.

I'm glad to know that you work,keeping your mind busy for awhile everyday should be helpful. And I know you have your family for support,plus the dogs to keep you company.

Any potential buyers for the house yet? Seems you will still have many of the practical issues to deal with for some time to come.Must be days when you just want to turn back the clock......but you can't so you have no choice but to go forward. I wish I could take away some of the pain,but I also know I can't do that. Just know that I do care & pray the future is much brighter for you.

HUGS,Buttons

Hi there friend~
Thank you for your kind words, but I'm not as strong as you give me credit for. I hope that someday I can say that I'm a survivor and believe it. I am going to a support group starting tomorrow. They only meet once a month, but I think it is the one I want to start with. I'm kind of nervous about it, but my sister is going with me so that should help.

Nothing on the house yet. :( The real estate agent is having an open house today so I'm praying that the right person will come along and that something will happen soon.

Yeah, still dealing with all the different paperwork and such right now. I have been really dealing a lot with hospital bills and such. Faxed them copies of the death certificate like they asked me to and the jerks still turned me over to a collection agency!!! RAH!!!! They are so irritating.

Well, enough about me, how are you? Do tell........

Love ya
Sue

Sue, I'm OK. Have you considered hiring an attorney to deal with the "details"? Why should you have your credit ruined!! Faxes can be ignored too easily,I suggest you sent copies of everything needed by certified mail. This must be frustrating! Keep in mind that the support group might have some good advice for dealing with the mound of paperwork,etc. ( I'm saying a prayer for you to get into a good group). Good idea to take your sister with you,this will be very emotional I'd think & perhaps she will recall important stuff that might go right over your head @ this time.

You might not feel like a survivor,but in my eyes you are. You're coping,you're handling alot of practical issues,on top of that you've moved & lost your lifetime love. And yet you still have empathy for other people. You could have crawled in a hole & let it all wash over you.....instead you are fighting for survival.

Best to you,Buttons
