It always does.<BR/><BR/>M.EL PADRONEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18100365676460468461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1167956753892419772007-01-04T19:25:00.000-05:002007-01-04T19:25:00.000-05:00Merlin: Actually I do feel like I know you better ...Merlin: Actually I do feel like I know you better than you know me. I've seen your delicious posts at Holly's. My husband died in August after an almost year long bout with cancer so I had that time to almost kind of prepare, but you don't - not really. For the most part I'm handling things alright, but I do have times when even the next five minutes seems impossible to get through. And thank you very much for stopping by and for the hug. We're kind of alike aren't we - the ones left behind to try and figure out how to deal with the pain.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1167919465296958072007-01-04T09:04:00.000-05:002007-01-04T09:04:00.000-05:00Kristie,You don't know me and I don't know you : I...Kristie,<BR/><BR/>You don't know me and I don't know you : I just found my way over here from Holly's blog.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, a big hug from the UK.<BR/><BR/>If it helps I know how you feel : I lost my wife just over 4 years ago.

Everyone deals with it in their own way, in their own time. There will be days were you feel pretty good, and days where you just want to curl up in the fetal position and weep.<BR/><BR/>Your loss is still fresh Kristie. It takes time to heal, and I think the support group is a very good idea....Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1167845704335462962007-01-03T12:35:00.000-05:002007-01-03T12:35:00.000-05:00Aww, babe.

But I'm here if you need anything. <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry your support group doesn't begin until the end of the month. <BR/><BR/>I don't have any experience with this kind of thing, but I would imagine that it's more than perfectly normal to go through the "crash and burn". Again, if you need anything, just let me know.<BR/><BR/>((((((KRISTIE)))))))Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410951433962652780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1167845453878123822007-01-03T12:30:00.000-05:002007-01-03T12:30:00.000-05:00I glad you found a support group where you can tal...I glad you found a support group where you can talk to people going through the same thing as you are.<BR/><BR/>{{{Hugs}}}<BR/><BR/>We are here for you.<BR/><BR/>You're doing just what you need to be doing.

I don't know.. if you wish the link I'll give it to you.... but they are dealing with the same thing. I don't know if it'll upset you more or help.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, your support group helps. It's unfortunate it's a month away before you can talk to them. The best I can offer is a cyber hug. <BR/><BR/>Hoping you are feeling better soon.<BR/><BR/>P.s. Got Fever Dreams tonight from the library... we'll see what I think of it....<BR/><BR/>SheriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
