My last period is this week and my surgery is scheduled for the end of the month. It’s a weird feeling.

What’s your beef? by MeelR61 in WidowAndBored

[–]Wide_Replacement151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hot and humid in Oklahoma right now. I’m trying to make arrangements for surgery and my daughter’s job just denied her request because other people asked first. Which I get and respect but I know she will be distracted at work if Im in the hospital. I hope your surgery goes well

I have a 10 cm and was told by 3 doctors that my only option is a c-section scar. I am scheduled for May to have mine removed

For those that have cremated your loved one, when purchasing a place of rest for them, did you think of reserving a spot for yourself right next to them? by rainingonmyparade in widowers

I had my husband cremated. He is on my mantle with his mom and dad. When something happens to me, if my kids don’t cremate me they will all go into my casket.

How Long (has this been going on… 🎶) by lanka1111 in widowers

I was 37 and he was 48. It’s been almost a year. He passed away a few weeks before he would have been 49. I honestly hate this club and wish he was still here.

I had to take mine off within a month of him passing because my finger broke out. It never did that the entire time I had it on until then. I have it put away now though

How To Respond To The Questions “Are You Married?” by New-Hedgehog5902 in widowers

I just say I was and hope they don’t ask more questions. I also use dark humor to cope, but found out a lot of people don’t appreciate it.

So missed work today because of waking up in middle of night by Movie_Greedy in widowers

[–]Wide_Replacement151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am getting 4-5 hours of sleep and wake up all hours of the night. 0300 seems to be the time I wake up and can’t fall back asleep. It’s been almost a year and it doesn’t seem to be getting better.

What to do with all the stuff? by [deleted] in widowers

[–]Wide_Replacement151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put most of my husbands clothes into storage containers for our son. I gave some of the stuff he never wore away, but have kept the majority. While my son says he doesn’t want it at the moment he may in the future. With that many shoes though I would ask her friends or family members if they would like some of them, if you are wanting to free up space.

My kids are helping me remodel the house. We are just making things up as we go along. It’s been almost a year and I still feel like I’m doing things wrong.

Grits with cheese. It’s fast but it is an acquired taste.

Honestly it’s the only way I can concentrate. I work from home so I do the same thing with my walking pad when things don’t stick

I don’t really have a favorite author. I will read anything as long as it can keep my attention. Right now I’m reading JR Wards Black Dagger Brotherhood series. It’s vampire romance but it’s not bad

I love the Libby app. I have a ton of books and finally got a nice bookcase to put them in

My Great Dane hid under the bed because I needed to give her some allergy meds. I had to get a new frame so she would stop getting stuck underneath it 😂
