Your post about the "fun group" made me giggle, CA. I read about one near here the other day when surfing about grief groups. I bet you'd have a blast in a group like that. Add smilin' to the mix....instant fun! I'm very glad to hear your better spirits.
Thanks Tami...Are you thinking about joining a "fun group" or a "grief group?"..I'm thinking about all of it but I'm not quite ready to "take action" yet...Maybe I will soon. I really want to have more fun in life and get out of my ruts! Can't "hibernate" forever!

Not really, CA. I just look around occasionally. I'm still okay with my solitary lifestyle.
MSR...I'm glad Crick came to visit you in your dream and you had other "signs" at Christmas.. I believe that our loved ones are still with us. I've sure had "signs" myself.

Hi Tami...I decided to challenge myself. I called the number for the "fun-group" listed in the paper. The lady who answered was great! We "clicked" and ended up talking for quite awhile...She said her husband left her after 34 years of marriage and she was a "mess" and devasted for a long time...Her friend pushed her to join the "fun-club." And she said it sure helped her heal and "find herself" again...So I'm going to give the "fun-club" a try next month. What the hey?...And I'm going to try a grief support group meeting this coming Wednesday...If I'm not happy, I don't have to go back to any of the groups...But I'll give them a "try." Feel like I need something "more" in my life right now.

That's good, CA. I hope the grief group is helpful and the fun group is fun!

Thanks...Hopefully, I'll have some fun in the grief group too. (At times anyway.)...I don't want to do non-stop sadness or seriousness with no breaks in between!.. Balance is good! Don't you think? Thanks for the support!
When mother died I was a teenager. Went into the basement and had a good cry. Pops died I was grown so it was tough but now to me death is just the opposite of birth. It's part of life which made me come to grips with my mortality.
When my friends dad died all I did was talk with him once and just sat with him and watched some TV. Nothing had to be said. But we knew each other for years. At death there's really no one way to handle it. You pretty much have to wing it. It just doesn't seem real.

Thanks, CA.
Each person has to decide for him or herself of what happens after death. I can't deny experiences I've had.
I hope you've done ok during this time and appreciated your note

Tami,
Not everyone is comfortable being alone. Different factors matter for all of us. Good for you.
