My photo
This is more of a photo scrapbook and a place to write (and vent) my thoughts and feelings and brag about my grandkids.. I am a 60 something wife, mom & grandma. I've been married to my best friend Walt since 1977. The most important thing in my life is family. We have been blessed with some great kids, our daughter Kayci, son Cody, our awesome grandson Jesse, our precious granddaughters Cassandra and Chelsea and our newest grandson John. We are currently raising our grandson Jesse and dealing with things such as Autism & ADHD. We have lived in northern Arizona for most of the last 35 years and love it here. We've had our ups & downs ~ but life is good... I'll add a little here - my sweetheart and best friend Walt passed away unexpectedly January 8, 2014. He will be missed by many.

Grief

I saw this the other day
What it's like to go through grief 
1. Crying for every reason, and no reason at all.
2. Missing your loved one more than words can express.
3. Feeling like no one in the entire world understands what you're going through.
4. Longing to talk to the person you miss.
5. Wishing you could go back to the way things used to be.
6. Wondering of you could have changed things.
and so much more...
 
I would like to add:
1. Needing to talk about them. I need to hear you say his name, and tell me special things about him. It helps me remember. I'm sorry if I go on and on about him sometimes, but it helps me to heal.
2. Don't tell me you know how I feel - you can't. You may have lost someone also, and I am so sorry, but everyone grieves differently.
3. Please don't compare the death of my husband with your divorce. I do feel bad for you, but his death was certainly not my choice.
4. Let me cry. It really does help.
5. Don't ignore me ~ I need my friends and family now more than ever.
6. Give me time, I will heal eventually.
