I think that losing a spouse gives a new meaning to all our relationship's with God. Whether we like to admit it or not, we are coming to him for a whole different reason than we did before, and I would like to see the person in which it does not become the center of their relationship. And...

And I found praying to be the best thing to do... What better help to ask for than God's help. And with Him, you know you're going to get it, in one shape or another.

You might just be mildly surprised. The Lord has a funny way of dealing with things like this..and at the strangest times. Don't hurry, is the main thing. Mistakes are made in haste. Loneliness is a terrible thing, the rest of us can attest to that...but do not mistake loneliness for love.

The reminders will become fewer and farther apart...but don't expect them to end anytime soon... It will be fifteen months tomorrow...and they still keep coming... I still have not been able to clean out her craft room. I walk in, take a look around, cry a little, and leave...and it's still...

Unfortunately none of us will ever have the real answers for something like this. We can beat ourselves up over and over again looking for the answers but only God and the ones who take their own lives will ever know what or why. All we can do is ask God to help us go on and make some kind of...

This is the beginning of something new... Congratulations rjoymac. The Lord will be there when we need Him...if we just call on Him.

That is neat and it is a good way to include those we have lost, into our new lives.. I kept my ring and it's in the drawer by the bed ( I have not figured out what to do with it yet) but I gave Patsy's ring to our daughter, who wears a lot of rings. She asked for it when we went through her...

It's funny how many little things remind us of the ones we have lost. This morning, just like every morning, I made my 3-berry smoothie, but when I went to get a straw out of the cupboard, I purposely chose a purple one, simply because that was Patsy's favorite color. I even had a different...

Jean, I Googled it and I can make from here to this place of peace that you speak of, in 2.92 days, if I can average 70 mph. Distance from here is 2,458 miles. :-)

Just being able to be at a place that was special to both of you without falling to pieces, is a sign that God is working in you and the healing process is well on it's way. There is a park on the way to my church and Patsy and I went there several times just before she died and ate lunch. She...

Have you changed....or did they change? I have found that those friends, even though they are near and dear to me, find it hard to determine what subjects are okay and which ones are not okay...and really, even I don't know that. It changes from day to day. I guess what I am trying to say is...

Ann, My wife passed away on June 4,2006...and I guess we will never quit crying..at some of the most inoportune times. She had a lung transplant in November of 2004, which came just in time and gave us another 19 month with her....which was not nearly long enough...but the Lord has His plans...

Thank you... A good laugh helps in these times of sadness....

You don't happen to have a widow in your group who owns her own bike and wears leathers do you? LOL

I have to take myself seriously... I can't find anyone else who'll do it.... LOL

When the ladies at church offered to start praying for me, part of me wanted them to...and the other part was wanting them to just leave it up me and God to handle. I realize they mean well and they are only doing it because they care about me and want me to be happy. I guess I have put the...

Jean, I think you need to be commended on your ability to hang around for something like that. I think I would have had to excuse myself to an area where I could lose control if I needed to. That's what happened at the 50th party in Montana. The thought of "Don't you people realize that I'm...

The ladies at my church have been asking me when they can start praying for someone new to come into my life and I've been telling them I am doing okay alone, for now. Each Sunday they ask me and I finally came up with the prerequisites.... I left them speechless when I told them, okay it's...

I was at a 50th wedding anniversary party for one of Patsy's uncles this weekend and someone whom I had not seen in a lot of years came up to say hi. He told me he had seen Patsy and I asked him when...to which he told me just a few minutes ago... You can imagine my reaction to that but I just...

rjoymac, we can say all we want to, but what you said pretty much sums it up right there. That's about the best answer of them all.
