We just learn to walk around the holes in our hearts and not fall in all the time.”
What a beautiful and perfect statement.

It was 5 months yesterday since my husband passed away. I sit here day after day sometimes & don’t see or hear from anyone…not even my little family that’s still around. I sat here all day yesterday looking at pictures that I’d taken of him as his disease progressed. Then I took pictures almost every day that he was in the nursing home…32 days. All I can do is keep questioning what went wrong there…I’m pretty sure I know but the VA & hospice will never own up to the fact that they didn’t do their job. Oh, hospice may be fine but in our situation I know what their end solution is. Both of these caretakers failed! Yes, I know he’s in a better place & free from the struggles of dementia but I’ll never be able to trust them again!
I know exactly what all my widow friends have gone through…every one may be somewhat different but we all have to learn to carry on. Some have big families to call & check in on them, some don’t & I’m one of those. Old friends soon die out & the few remaining have their own problems so they don’t call as often. Sad days. My son finally called last night to tell me that he’d sold the very first new pickup that we’d owned since 1994. Oh, how I hated to see it go! But life will go on for now…UNTIL THEN….

It was 17 months yesterday and I am still just broken inside. God is good and I am grateful for my Faith in Jesus!
