Checking in, saying hello.

Husband gone/reposed over two weeks now as some know.

It's unimaginably overwhelming. Everything coming at me at once and other unexpected and not good things happened.

I have tremendous support, but pain, cold empty feeling is growing.

Admittedly fear for 'my' physical health. Need to keep going for dogga daughter. She's affected and it hurts me so.

Heaven knows where this will take me. Been a strong 'kiddo' all my life, but this...this..
'Almost' more than I can bear.


Please do not be overly burdened for me, dear DU family.

Love you all....

You will find the strength to get through this. Please try to take care of yourself. And I hope we here at DU are keeping you entertained for a wee bit.

Doing my level best to get some uninterrupted sleep. Sleep deprivation magnifies even small incidentals 1000%.

My DU sisters and brothers in humanity: I shared my communal relationship here with a close friend and she was thrilled to have found out I am intertwined with DU community.

Everyone's concern for my well-being touches the depth of my heart. And sustains me.

Who knew. DU, where 'strangers', "people we haven't met yet" as is said, show such healing pathos, would be a source of refreshing, strength and sustenance.

For this I am truly grateful.

survived my father's passing without a house full of foster kittens who needed to be fed, etc. Also, it was good to be part of life starting when an important part of mine was gone. Volunteer work is as helpful for the giver as the receiver.

Meanwhile, You have this raw shock and sorrow to deal with and go through.
We are here and ready to listen and offer comfort.
Do not be afraid.
Do not fear.
May God bless and hold you in the palm of his hand.

Was left with, you know, a veritable mountain of legal, financial stuff to deal with. Plus other badly timed things requiring immediate attention.

It's enough the reality of what happened, then all this on me. I'm accomplishing much, but it seems endless.

'Raw shock'. That's a spot-on synonym.

I apologize to my fur daughter when I look into her brown eyes, "I'm sorry my sweet girl, this went all wrong."

I receive all spoken and unspoken caring into my spirit.

Love......
