I've avoided this forum for awhile... because it makes me sad...
But this is the place to share such sadness. It is good that we have places like this.
It is 3am and I just woke up in my recliner, I had been watching recordings on the DVD. I fell asleep I guess some hours ago. I dreamed, i guess, I was in a warm and happy place, I heard family and friends chatting and my wife chuckling about something... such a wonderful happy sound...and I called out her name as I was waking...
But even as I was waking and calling out her name.... I knew she would not reply... I knew she was gone.
I woke again to an empty house.
And so I come here to share this sadness, because I know you will understand.
And for some reason I feel like it does me some good to share this.
Knowing that some of you are experiencing similar things.
It is somehow good to know that I'm not alone in this.
You are not alone.
This is a thread where those o f us who lost someone can open up. It has been so helpful when I just want to talk about my son. And you can talk about your beloved wife & all of us listen & understand.
I have tried to avoid it this past year.
This is an awesome place to lay your worries, concerns, or vents. People in here seem to be tender to what is going on in your life. They offer support, and will listen.

I appreciate everyones support, I just wanted to clarify that its not this forum that makes me sad... its thinking about my loss. I need to move on but it has been harder than I expected. I appreciate all of the kind, caring and supportive people who posted here or contacted me about this thread.
I don't think any of us thought differently. My son has only been gone 17 day and the pain is still new. I'm glad this forum is here but I'm sure I will move on in time also.
I have to add that tonight I went to the mini-Mart and the guy next door to that, who owns an auto repair shop, was in & I asked what he'd charge to look at my car because the low tire light comes on.
I explained that I had to go to the city, 200 miles away, to pick up my son's ashes.
Well, it's a small town & he's not going to charge me for checking it out & will be able to fix it if it's just a sensor.
It was so hard though, to explain why the car had to be in good running order. It's still hard to say he's gone.
