In the midst of profound sadness I came to a big (for me) realization. I need to make it better. There isn’t going to be any magic. Hugs to you. I know you're struggling. I know you're hurting. But you're absolutely right. It's up to you to move forward. And these words I'm speaking to you, I'm hearing myself. I've been stuck in this weird, half-depressed limbo for nearly a month now. It's not a medicine failure and I've got to snap myself out of it. I care about you, my friend. Thank you for posting this. Because I needed to hear it too. I think this post is fabulous, OP. I am going to challenge myself to take a picture of my things I want to remember too or at least journal about them. Mine for Sunday is that I kind of had it in my mind that I wanted to make a BBQ taco. Jeremy isn't as adventurous an eater as I am. So I wasn't sure how he would react to it. He ate 5 tacos! And he specifically asked me if we could have these tacos again this week since he bought enough groceries for me to make them again. He always thanks me for cooking. He's kind and appreciative. But I know he doesn't always care for what I cook. Last night, he was thrilled with my hair-brained idea. |

Welcome to Day One of sharing 28 days of what stood out for you. Remember to share what you want to remember. So what stood out for you today? This isn’t in the happy tone of the other posts but it definitely stood out for me and I definitely want to remember…today was a very hard day. I was extremely emotional and cried a lot. In the midst of profound sadness I came to a big (for me) realization. I need to make it better. There isn’t going to be any magic. So I want to remember Sunday June 27. While you said this doesn’t have a happy tone, I felt positive for you after I read it. I’ll be here cheering you on as you turn this corner. And I look forward to reading this thread for the next 27 days to hear what you’ll take away from each day. HUGS! |

Yesterday, Sunday, we went back to the beach for the first time in well over a year and a half. It was hot, there were loads of people there, the sand was white, and the water was warm (we just waded). It was a lovely reminder that we actually do live in Florida. In the evening we watched a stand-up comedian and it was hysterical. Loved driving around all over the Tampa/St Pete region too. It was a good day.

KelleeMI feel like saying you have self-pity is being too hard on yourself. I recently posted about self-pity versus sadness. I'm so curious if other people think they're different. I've been doing a lot of reading about it, and I'm still not completely clear. For example----I still cry often about our doggie Sophie's death. I sometimes worry if I'm just in self-pity, or if it's just normal grieving. All that to say---you miss your DH so very much, and it's SO HARD to move on from our grief, and I hope you're not too hard on yourself! (( hugs ))

Day 1: Yesterday I made a tribute video for my aunt’s 90th birthday. She is such a wonderful person.

DH had an endoscopy done today and his doctor found no issues. Plus we learned of a research study his doctor wants to try which might be able to step back the fibrosis of his liver, which would be amazing. He was under general and he’s always freaking adorable for a while when he comes out of it  Plus he took the day off so we got to enjoy lounging around together on a weekday, which is practically unheard of. And right now he’s sitting next to me cracking up and giggling watching The Big Bang Theory. My favorite sound in the world! |
