Thank you for the lovely wreath

[StephanieM]

Thank you for the lovely wreath. I am placing this in my dining room, it smells lovely. Thank you to all for the cards as well. I do appreciate them. All of the well wishes mean a great deal to me. I do not have enough words for your kindness. Your prayers have been appreciated, and are needed.

Re: Thank you for the lovely wreath

You know I honestly find it very difficult to do much right now. I tried to go to work for awhile today, and 15 minutes into it I was in tears. We had worked at the same place, he is in my mailbox, my instant messages, and on my caller ID. I really don't know how the next few days are going to pass by. I hate feeling this badly, I hate writting about it. I simply hope that somehow these next few days will pass.

Oh Steph, I so wish one of us lived close enough to just come sit with you. I know this may sound so wishy washy, but just take the day one hour at a time. You will get through this because you are Stephanie and you are needed and loved.

Time will help you heal. You never get over it but you do learn to live with it. We just think about all the good times we had with Rick and not his sick time. I will keep you in my prayers and God Bless you.

This a very difficult time. We all feel for you so keep that in mind so it can help you get thru the day. Keep your messages coming cause we look forward to hearing from you and many of us understand these painful days.

Steph, don't rush into going back to work. Take a few more days. No one expects you to be a super hero and be back without any emotional ties. Maybe see if one of your co-workers or a friend can go and remove him from all those places. It's one thing that may make it easier on you. I know when my dad died my mom had to take baby steps of healing and of getting rid of reminders like that. Some needed to be done immediately and others took time. Do what you have to do and keep in touch. The more you talk about the more comfort you get. Spend the next couple of days remembering the good about him. It takes time and it is one of the hardest things to go through. You have a whole room of support that so many others do not have. Lean on us now for support through the tough times. We all love and care about you. (( HUGS))

I hope you are doing well. Just 1 day after your Micheal died, my friend died in a motorcycle accident as well. Her husband survived thank God, as the kids will need him. The tire of the bike blew out on the interstate in Iowa.

My prayers are with you. I also donated money to our church in his memory. I know he was jewish, but I know that any prayers are great!

Adding more prayers for you & now for Jewels friend as well. Have had family here for a week, so I'm behind on anything else.

Take some time for yourself now. Laugh and cry and grieve, and know he will always be with you because he is in your heart and soul.

Re: Thank you for the lovely wreath

I know these will just be empty words, but something that helps me when I am feeling a loss of a loved one, and I cant recall who the original poet was but its someone famous. "It is better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all." I tell myself that the immense pain and sadness I feel is worth it to have shared their love for any amount of time. It helps me a tiny bit. I hope you find peace and comfort in memories of your love.
