Hi Carol – the feelings of loneliness can be excruciating. Please know that you are not alone and that there is a large support group for both people living with spouses that are ill, and for those once those spouses pass on. Keep in touch and I hope the treatment goes well!

Comment on Part One: Widowed with No Children by Carol Benitez

I am living with my husband whose had multiple heart surgeries; he’s now 71, I’m 60. I decided long ago not to have children though he asked me. I didn’t want to share him with anyone else and that was fine then, now I’m afraid every day that I’ll be alone. We moved to Colorado unknowing that they had a treatment here that saved his life. I’v always been terrified of being alone and I cry every day with the realization of the possiblilty. I don’t know where to go for help. Thank you for your website I know I’m not alone there are others like me.

I guess having older friends who are in and out of hospitals I never had the “hospital issue” that so many have. I think TJ got great care in the hospital and I am comforted when people are in the same hospital. Plus, I know my way around….lol

I wondered how it was going for you when I saw on fb that he was in the hospital. I imagined it must’ve been tough b/c of how things were for Kevin. Excited for you in this new life you’re about to start!

Interesting – do you know why it came with sports?

I hold my breath quite a bit also. Even when I was younger and participating in sports I would hold my breath. I know I don’t do it as much as I used to but I really don’t know why.

Comment on Surviving Valentine’s Day Without a Valentine by Sandy Webb

I have heard of people doing this. Fortunately for me I am not and never have been a fan of Valentine’s day. I think it is ridiculous to express your love for someone just because a date on the calendar dictates that you do. TJ & I never celebrated it as he felt the same way.

Comment on Grief and Depression – Are they the same? by Randy

Randy — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:26:54 +0000

I have been very adamant about not taking any medication for any ailment. I do take an aspirin occasionally but I see many people turn to medication immediately before they try natural things such as eating well and exercising. Like many, I have faced bouts of depression; however, I have refrained from medication because I am afraid it will give me a certain high, then wear off if I stop using it.

When my partner died eight years ago, I went through the crying, the frustration, the depression like all the other readers, but I balanced my life through friends, family, and those things that are most important to our lives (e.g., listening to music). Yes, we can take medication but can we get by on our natural “highs”?
