Well, what I did not share with you guys, is that I lost my wife August 15th. Im so numb, I can barely feel the loss of my bud .
Im trying to muddle my way through the holidays and give my two boys a decent x mas, but Im dead inside . Ive cried, no not cried, fking wept daily for 6 months now. I did not know a human could hold so much sadness and still somehow function . I made it past our anniversary Sept 17th, and figure if I can get past the holidays and into spring , I should be o.k 10 feet tall and bulletproof. |

Damn Fred sorry to hear that. My mother in law went through a very tough time when her husband passed some years back. I think she truly believed she was a non-entity without him. Had no idea how to live her new independent life and wasn't trying to figure it out. It took some time and a bit of a push (if you get to the beach in Md one day hit me up and i'll tell you the story over a 6 pack) but she is now happy, busy and very important to a lot of people including her elderly neighbors, my kids, my dogs and my wife.
I think it just takes time. |
Feeling depressed after the death of a wife is normal. I can’t stress that enough. It is normal

She wouldn't want you to be sad. She'd want you to get on with your life. BTW, if you decided to take that drive into the river, please let me know - I'll be your co-pilot! SmileWavy |

The fact that we just lost a great member, makes the holiday much less.

Damn Fred. Such a loss is a gut punch. It's hard to balance your need against the needs of your boys but finding that balance may be the way through for the three of you. I hope you guys find a path to peace.

Perhaps, all of us who are going through a loss, can get some solace by getting it off our chest in this thread. Best wishes to all. |

Every year I say I hate Christmas.
Every year Vicki drives herself into a tizzy decorating and cleaning so the house is perfect. I drive myself mad planning and cooking the food. Every year we say to each other, "This is the last time." But then the day comes. And I am reminded of how much I love the people in our family. Tonight, they have all gone home, and it was all worth it. We had a great time, lots of love, lots of laughing, and a few tears. I wouldn't trade it for the world. And I'll do it again next year, even though I'll say I won't. |
Fred so sorry for your loss . Try to be strong for your boys , you need them as much as they need you . The Pelican family is here if you need us .
