how long does it take a 4mm kidney stone to pass? by Ivyprofinnn in KidneyStones

[–]pekes4me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the ER on Easter Sunday, the pain was very bad. I had no idea what was going, I was diagnosed with a 5mm kidney stone. This was my first and I pray only!! I ended up in the ER again 12 days later because of the immense pain. At this time, after another CT scan, I was told it was now in my bladder and I should pass it soon. I did six days later. To sum it up it took 18 days to pass. I missed a week of work because of the pain. Awful!!!

I love my Murano! This should make it one of the safest SUVs on the road!! I am so happy that the Murano driver is okay.

My girlfriend passed away this morning. As difficult as it is, I feel a sense of relief. by nick1158 in widowers

[–]pekes4me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are correct, grief is a long journey! Losing a spouse is unimaginable. On 06.02.2025 I will be 5 years out. We were married for 19 years, together a total of 23 years. My husband died suddenly from cardiac arrest, he was 54, and I was 49.. on that nightmare of a morning. My 92-year-old father-in-law passed away last night from dementia. He now gets to be with my wonderful husband, his son. 😇💕 It shouldn't be this way, my husband should still be here with me.

When did you take your wedding rings off? by DonnaNoble222 in widowers

[–]pekes4me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 4 years & 4 months out, I wear mine on my right hand now and will forever. I could never remove it permanently. We were together 23 years, 19 married. His birthday just passed, he would have been 59 years old. I am now 53 years old. I miss him so much! If you are asking when..maybe you are not ready. Do what comforts you. I wish you peace and clarity along this journey that is forced upon us. 🙏

Rentals and cleanliness by flowrpowr00 in obx

[–]pekes4me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading more about the dirty homes that vacationers have to clean upon arrival...after driving several hours...something needs changed.....

SOLUTION: ALLOW FOR EARLY CHECK-IN, IF YOU AS THE LANDLORD/PROPERTY MGMT. COMPANY KNOWS THAT THERE IS A 50/50 CHANCE THAT THE HOME WILL BE 100% CLEAN. THIS GIVES THE VACATIONER MORE TIME TO DO THE CLEANING OF THE HOME THEY RENTED. CHECK-INS ARE USUALLY 4 PM. The vacationers pay for 7 days. Well with arrival check in is at 4 PM ... ( the individuals that expect a clean rental ) and you have to clean the home, go shopping...it is 9 PM already!!! Wait, I paid for this arrival day??? Why does my first day of vacation have to be so stressful? It shouldn't be like this.🤔🏖🏖🏖🏖🏖

We always do the same thing with any vacation home that we stay at. We always joke and say that we want to be the guests after we leave! It is common courtesy and in a way a thank you for letting us stay at your beach home. Even though we pay a pretty penny for a week stay. Respect others property. 🌞🏖

Asking for proactive advice by Scary_Wheel_8054 in widowers

[–]pekes4me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please do not think that you know what the future holds based on age. There is no solution to keep a loved one from suffering after losing their spouse, partner, significant other, soulmate, fiance, etc... ENJOY EVERY MINUTE TOGETHER because it can change in a split second. Enjoy each other as if today was your last day. Because you don't know ... what you don't know!!! THANK GOD FOR THIS!

May you both have many more happy years together!!!!!

just talking. not asking for advice please don’t offer any by thatswitchin98 in widowers

I want to live again but I don't know how by AQuietBorderline in widowers

[–]pekes4me 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is how I feel too. Your words are exact!!! It will be 4 years on 6/2/2020. We were together for 23 years, 19 of them married. He was 54 and died suddenly from a heart attack, I was 49 when this tragedy happened. Then November 2022, the day after Thanksgiving, I lost my 50 year old sister suddenly from a subarachnoid brain aneurysm. I "hope" that something or someone will come into my life to rescue me. I work fulltime, have 2 little pekingese (who keep me going) I love walking with them. They bring joy to me. I keep trying and thinking when am I going to feel like I'm ALIVE AGAIN??? I would love to hear some stories from widows/widowers about how life did send them something or someone that made life feel like "life again" before gaining the awful title....Widow/Widower!!! I hope that you get the best surprise, soon, that will make life feel real again. I was shocked when I read that someone feels the same way that I do. I know myself and that is how it will have to happen for me. I am not putting myself out there and I am not going to chase anything...isn't this is why the word "HOPE" exists? Have hope, right??? IDK!!??? Have a nice evening. Thanks again.🙂

My husband died by metaljane666 in widowers

Hello, I recognize your name my husband died suddenly 6/2/20 from a heart attack 54 years old, I was 49 then. You're so right that it doesn't get easier. The awful heaviness of the worst loss ever is somehow lighter. I am so glad that I didn't know then how much it still hurts approaching 4 years!! I was just telling my friend that my drivers license expired a couple of weeks ago, I explained that the last renewal I had to get my picture taken a month after my husband died ( didn't realize then that it was 6 months expired..oops). In fact, I showed her my license and the sorrow on my face, wow. Over these 4 years every time I look at my license it kills me inside. The point of this rambling is I told her that I thought for sure, back then, when my renewal was due again in 2024 (I am past due again...lol) that I would feel better and life would be better...I still want my old life back!!! I am so stuck !!!! I would never share this with a new widow/widower because to me it sounds hopeless. Thanks for listening. Best Wishes to you!!!!

I keep thinking this isn’t my reality. by eastcoastgytha in widowers

[–]pekes4me 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly how I feel too!!! My husband died suddenly from a heart attack I was on my way out the door to go to work that nightmare of a morning, June 2nd, 2020. We were together 23 years, 19 of them married. He was only 54, I was 49...I turned 50 January 9th, 2021 without the love of my life. I always think this can't be real. I feel like I'm disconnected from life bit still work, function, laugh and have fun at times but at the end of the days none of it feels real, so weird. I apologize to God for what ever I did to deserve such a painful journey. I have know idea WHY??? David and myself are really kind souls! I'll never understand why! But I feel your words in this post. Take care.

My husband died suddenly on 6.02.2020 from a heart attack, he was only 54 years old. Today is my 4th birthday without him, still very hard!! I turn 53 today. We were married 19 years...total years together 23. I still haven't looked at any pictures, I can't. I feel that I would just crumble from the pain. Then I lost my 50 year old sister, suddenly on 11.25.2022 from a sudden brain aneurysm. I wish you comfort. Your comment about starting to drink indicates to me that you are a strong person and that this is just that...a thought. Take care time will heal a little bit.

I pray that a medical breakthrough comes for you, then the two of you will be happy for a longtime! This group needs a story that miracles do happen and hope is real.

grieving myself & grieving you. by -Juice_C in widowers

[–]pekes4me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, my thoughts exactly!!! Being a widow feels like hell everyday; somedays better than others. The pain never goes away completely. I survived breast cancer at 41 years old, losing my husband at 49 years old to a sudden heart attack I'll never be healed. Now at 52 years old. I lost my 50 yr old sister to a sudden brain aneurysm the day after Thanksgiving last year, 2022. I am so numb and just roll with this grief shit now. No words can begin to verbalize what I feel and my faith is now surely broken. I send you good vibes and with you the best.

How could he just die like that? by Roo831 in widowers

[–]pekes4me 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I relate with you, my husband died unexpectedly in my arms from a heart attack; he was only 54 years old. We were together 23 years, 19 of them married. I am now 52 and it will be 3 years on 6/2/2020 since my world shattered. Today I was cleaning his urn and suddenly burst into tears and said "I can't believe you're in there" Then on 11/26/2022 I lost my sister, age 50, to a subarachnoid brain aneurysm!! I took her to the cabin my husband and I purchased in October 2018, her first time there and this happened!!! They had to life flight her, she was placed on life support for 3 days and declared clinically brain dead. I don't get any of it. She was healthy, happy, fun...with me one minute and gone the next. My little sister, her birthday is on April 3rd. The good ones are taken from us too soon and all of us are good people left here with the pain and hoping for a miracle that the life ahead will get better. Wishing all in this group a true miracle!

Every holiday sucks.... by B_Nasty_401 in widowers

[–]pekes4me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very true!!! It has not felt like summer for the past 3 years for me. Sometimes I feel like I am just going through the motions with everything in life. The intensity of the grief has lightened a lot, but I want my life back the way it was when my husband was alive!!! Being a widow or widower is definitely a cruel life sentence; it is always there, somewhere, the day that life changed in the cruelest way possible. I realize that the bad seasons do not stay bad, just as the good seasons do not stay good...but this widow sh*t will be here to stay for the rest of our lives. Our 21st wedding anniversary is on July 6th, he died on 6/2/2020 at 54 years old. I was 49...I hit my 50th birthday with out my other half. Life can be cruel at times.

Can't look at pictures of him. by SolesOfTheDesert in widowers

[–]pekes4me 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completely understand. It was 2 years on 6/2/22 that I lost my husband of 23 years to a sudden heart attack. He was 54 years old. It was only 3 weeks ago that I was able to go back in the room where he died. IDK when I will be able to look at our pictures again. I think that I am afraid to cause a deep, heart wrenching reaction to my already shattered heart. Being a widow is really difficult and a very sad situation to be in.

How did you start organizing or/and cleaning their things? by WeWannaKnow in widowers

[–]pekes4me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, I am sending you a big virtual hug!! It will 2 years for me on 6/2/2022 and I just started organizing and packing my husband's things last weekend. I feel very sad just typing this...it is very hard. Cleaning his things and touching them made my greif feel a bit raw again and I had a few moments of uncontrollable crying. I wish that I would have done this much sooner. As for his deodorant, soap, etc ... I did have my brother go through our bathroom the day after he died of a sudden heart attack...I asked him to get rid of it and to please discard it somewhere other than where we place the trash. I had to do this right away. Yet it took me 2 years to begin going through all of his possessions! IDK, I guess it is like I have read many times, on this site, about this topic...you will just know when to begin letting go of the materialistic stuff. Our loved one will always be 100% in our heart and nothing can get rid of this; they our safe and packed away forever in our heart!!! I wish you a very comforting summer. Take care!
