I sit here ready to offer words of comfort and I don't have any. I want to tell you that it will be okay one day but I can't. If I were to type the story of why I don't and why I can't then it would only draw sympathy for me and I don't want that. What I can say is that I know it will be okay one day. When that day arrives for you I don't know. I do know that one day you will wake up and realize that you made it through the entire day yesterday without crying.

Gwyn, Very, very sorry to hear of your lose. Please accept a huge hug and daily prayers from me. I am not a wise woman, as I have not had to face the lose of my spouse; but my heart goes out to you and I will be thinking and praying for you.

Gwyn, So sorry. I don't know what you should do but I know what you shouldn't. I lost my dear husband in jan 08 and I sit and look out the window and have illness on top of illness, can't turn the tv off at night and seldom sleep longer than an hour. It has taken a huge toll on my health so listen to those who say go out. I try from time to time but just haven't been able to grab on to life again yet. Moved right away which was a mistake but a financial necessity so left all my friends and live on an isolated ranch. Please listen to these wise people and don't get into my fix.

Gwyn, have you taken any baby steps yet? any chance of going outside and breathing some fresh air? you NEED to do this for you. if you feel you can't, get help, call a friend, relative, or look in the phone book for SUPPORT--help lines. talk to somebody! it really does help....i am praying for you
