Checking in, saying hello.

[sprinkleeninow]

Husband gone/reposed over two weeks now as some know.

It's unimaginably overwhelming. Everything coming at me at once and other unexpected and not good things happened.

I have tremendous support, but pain, cold empty feeling is growing.

Admittedly fear for 'my' physical health. Need to keep going for dogga daughter. She's affected and it hurts me so.

Heaven knows where this will take me. Been a strong 'kiddo' all my life, but this...this..
'Almost' more than I can bear.


Please do not be overly burdened for me, dear DU family.

Love you all....

1. i can't imagine what you're going through.

You will find the strength to get through this. Please try to take care of yourself. And I hope we here at DU are keeping you entertained for a wee bit.

2. My heart breaks for you. I know that all the peripheral things

make it hard to just grieve. Please know we are all here for you. My dear sprinkleeninow you are among people who care.

3. Very sorry

4. With evening/early night comes weariness.

Doing my level best to get some uninterrupted sleep. Sleep deprivation magnifies even small incidentals 1000%.

My DU sisters and brothers in humanity: I shared my communal relationship here with a close friend and she was thrilled to have found out I am intertwined with DU community.

Everyone's concern for my well-being touches the depth of my heart. And sustains me.

Who knew. DU, where 'strangers', "people we haven't met yet" as is said, show such healing pathos, would be a source of refreshing, strength and sustenance.

For this I am truly grateful.

5. So sorry for what you're going through. Do you volunteer? I don't see how I'd have

survived my father's passing without a house full of foster kittens who needed to be fed, etc. Also, it was good to be part of life starting when an important part of mine was gone. Volunteer work is as helpful for the giver as the receiver.

6. The love and concern you have given to others will be returned to you.

Meanwhile, You have this raw shock and sorrow to deal with and go through.
We are here and ready to listen and offer comfort.
Do not be afraid.
Do not fear.
May God bless and hold you in the palm of his hand.

7. The depth of my heart is touched.

Was left with, you know, a veritable mountain of legal, financial stuff to deal with. Plus other badly timed things requiring immediate attention.

It's enough the reality of what happened, then all this on me. I'm accomplishing much, but it seems endless.

'Raw shock'. That's a spot-on synonym.

I apologize to my fur daughter when I look into her brown eyes, "I'm sorry my sweet girl, this went all wrong."

I receive all spoken and unspoken caring into my spirit.

Love......
