Ahhh trailgranny. I'm so sorry. Big changes and difficulties losing that one you hang with!

I've been wondering about you lately. Our best. Yeah, lwiddis good advice. Make the changes you must but go slow on those that aren't necessary in this moment.

Cheryl,

Not quite sure what to say right now, but the wife and I sure feel your pain with the loss of your husband, Jim. I haven't been on this Forum for quite awhile but when I opened it up and saw your post about Jim, I couldn't believe it. It seems like only yesterday when we last saw you and Jim together at your house. You and the wife were preparing dinner while Jim and I were outside on the patio enjoying one of his drink specialties. He was a wonderful man and the wife and I are truly going to miss him. When we get down to your neck of the woods this summer we'll stop by to see you and take you out to dinner.

So so sorry for your loss......there are just no words to take away the pain & sorrow. Lwiddis, gave some excellent advice "the same advice My 81 year old Mother was given in December of last year, when my father passed after 60 years of marriage". If you would like, I can send you a copy of an article written by a widow, who went through the same trying experience. If you are interested, just drop me a note.
Take Care & God Bless, Bruce

My condolences to you. One thing that my Grandma always told me & has stuck w/ me through time is to never make major decisions in the time of distress. Either way, my heart hurts and I pray that you will find some peace and laughter soon.

My condolences, trailgranny.

I agree with whoever said to put off making major life decisions if and when you can, until some time goes by.

I hope you have tons of love and support in your life right now.
