January 27th, 2006 and still grieving.....

Almost four years ago my husband died of brain cancer. It was sudden and although we were to have him for 8 more months, it was only 3 weeks. It was hard. Three days after the funeral, my boss came to my house and let me go from my job. Shortly after that I had to sell my home. Finally I lost the church I attended for many years. I found myself losing so much all at once. My whole way of life changed. I had to return to full time work cause there was only enough insurance to bury my husband.

My "adopted" son abandoned us cause he didn't want the responsibility of taking care of us; I haven't seen or heard from him in 3 years. I could go on and on , but we all have a story to tell, don't we?

I am stressed and tired; sometimes anger takes over, but I am trying to work it all out. It has been almost 4 years and I still deal with depression, isolation, and sadness. Just glad to discover this website.
