Your thread is a godsend. It has been 4 months since I lost my soulmate. You don't have anything to apologize for, you rock!
My CD friends have been there for me these past few months.
And booze and 420 kind of, sort of softened the blow a little. . Or maybe it just softened my head. D'oh!!
I have a friend who mows my lawn. He is a godsend.
I'm sorry. At least you were able to find each other and spend some time together. I can't think of anything that beats that. The sun and moon rose and set in your eyes, and his.
LOL Tam, at least you have guts. Yes, my sister, son, and nephew love the hell out of me, but I don't live near them. Someone will call the police because there's a terrible smell emanating from my place. The cat will have eaten my eyes and other soft parts. Survival of the fittest and all that.
I'm not having any more tests for a while. I'm sick and tired of being sent for tests. I'm overdue for a mammogram. I'm overdue for a colonoscopy. I should have this, that, and the other done.
Not going to happen. If some doctor told me that I have cancer, I'll go on vacation and not come back.

That is a nice note, Gerania. Thank you. Yes, we were both bkessed to have foind each other. Life alone is hell, but it beats watching him suffer.
I don't ever think I could have friends or family live with me. I am too much of a hermit. I am about four hours away from my family.

Looks like I was typing with my thumbs.
I am a caregiver at heart, as was my Felix. He HAD to take care of someone in order to be happy and I was blessed to be that person.
I used to laugh at how much care he took in feeding his dogs. He would mix the wet canned dog food with dry dog food. I caught myself doing the same thing. His Felixness has invaded my Oscar Madison personality.
OK everyone, please continue this conversation here. I took the time to read the whole thread over several days and looked forward to every post. I cannot be a part of this forum as I have not grieved or mourned in a very long time (I am the "top of the food chain" in my small family) so I can only follow this particular thread. With all the references to Cyn I took the time to look for what y'all were talking about, and I discovered she has passed. My sympathies to all of you who were close to her.

I think you may misunderstand. The rules of the forum set standards for how people post here, but as long as there is understanding and compassion, "membership" is not exclusive. At some point, everyone will meet the criteria you seem to think is required. Those who have read as you have will be better prepared.
Gerania, perhaps you could arrange with a food delivery service so your cat doesn't have to eat leftovers?
More seriously, check with any local senior center to see what programs are available for in-home visits and wellness checks.
Thanks, Harry, I was going to post to Lodestar also that there is no requirement for posting in here. As long as you are respectful to others even if you don't or can't relate, no probs. Like I can not relate to Kathryn's thread about her brother but I posted I was sorry to hear of her grief.
Grief does not control me anymore, I control it. I like this forum, I like the people in it, or were in it. It feels like a little family that I don't want to part with, so I created this thread to yap. I have since found other "open" threads but so far I have stayed away from them because I tried one a few years ago and I was frozen out of it. At least here someone usually talks back to me.
Ok, where the heck is shades??? I am super worried now. She has not gone this long without posting. Harry, is there some way you can check on her??? I know she has projects but she at least surfaces after a few days. Ugh, this being older and having older friends is sometimes for the birds.
I just re-read my 1st post of this thread and I can now see why Lodestar got the impression you have to be widowed to post. I guess that's what I meant then but as time has passed, I don't think it's a requirement, just if that is your status and want to "blog" along, that is great. Do I make sense? Lol, I know I have many "duh" moments! To be truthful, I am not really sure what "blogging" is. Maybe what I am doing? Not much different than other threads, imo.
Anywho......gotta pop off to the Podiatrist for 3:30. My newer new sneaks are in. I hope these fit. I will stop at Super Wally-World and do a little walk around to see how they feel. Pick up some water while I'm at it.
Have a great afternoon, everyone!
