I think I may strap on a pistol and celebrate by shooting an inanimate object.
Strap on. Oh no! Is that like a snap on?
Actually Klein, while we may be enemies politically, we are friends in couponing and in family.
I lost Mom, Dad, a brother Ron, and a sister Linda, in four short years. It was like bam, one right after another.
Work and the pc, kept me alive. Helped me immensely through my grief.
I found what gave me the most comfort, was making a collage, or just finding pics to display, of our times together.
The only thing that ever makes it better is the time between it.
I have never lost a family member so young, but that being the worst, it is always bad.
I also let myself cry, sometimes I would wait all day, but then Id open them damn floodgates and let it out, you have to. Sometimes it would be while watching a commercial, and I wasnt absorbed and it just hits, Like a big freaking wave.
And if you have shoulda coulda woulda, gotta let that go to.
Find comfort in memories, sounds lame, but it works.
My Dad I fought night and day to not have a surgery that I knew would kill him, he had to listen to the docs coz they know best. He didnt make it.
I was so p'od mad, angry guilty as I drove home from the hospital 100 miles an hour. I only know I was going 100 because it took me 30 minutes to get home. 100 miles away. I got there as he went into cardiac arrest, a blood clot in his lung. I walked in as he was flirting with the nurses, before I could get to his room he was STAT. He knew I was there, but dammit he didnt listen to me. If you have guilt let it go, it will kill you too.
