    <description>&lt;P&gt;Dear Silkeej, thank you for sharing what happened to your dear hubby. What a terrible shock. I think we all feel like our worlds are upside down. It's the everyday things I miss the most as you do. The smiles, hugs, joking, now just memories. We cherish them, but wish we still had them. I miss holding hands with my hubby when we walked anywhere. Not long before he went Home, a photographer came to our family gathering and took pictures. One is of our hands holding each other. I have that framed and look at it often. So glad you have grown kids who are in your life and are helping you. We have 3. My son is 61, DD#1 is 59 and DD#2 is 55. We also have a DDIL and a SIL and 3 grankids in their 30s. They all live close enough so we can get together for all special days.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If visiting the cemetery helps and comforts you, do it. I don't go because it would make things harder for me. We do what works for us. There are people who sit up all night with lights on or the TV. Some who sleep in their hubby's recliner. For me, sleeping has never been a problem, except I stay up til early morning and then sleep late.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We all understand about the feelings of being overwhelmed and sad. Living on auto-pilot, in a fog. It's okay and it's normal. I know it's impossible to see now, but things will get better. Nothing will ever be the same, but you will find a new "normal" and you will find joy again. You are not a stranger here, you are part of the family and you are loved. Our Fran will post soon, I'm sure, and she will send you HUGS. Nobody gives them quite like she does.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Come anytime, just to let us know how you are, or vent in this safe place.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;snappy &lt;img id="heart" class="emoticon emoticon-heart" src="https://community.qvc.com/i/smilies/16x16_heart.png" alt="Heart" title="Heart" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I am sick for the first time since my husband passed away and have a prescription to take which scares me without him here since I have some odd reactions to drugs. It's always baby steps and sometimes one forward and two back...&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Blondegirl - That would be scary, do you have anyone to stay with you at least until you know how medicine will affect you?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;blondgirl, if you are new to the Widow's thread, may I say that I'm grateful you found your way here, especially today. It is scary to face serious things alone. If you have questions about your new medication, perhaps either your doctor or the pharmacist could help you. I don't blame you for being fearful. My hubby went Home nearly 5 years ago. Things are getting easier for me. Making a new reality, but it's not the same and never will be. I live with my DD and that's a blessing. Please come back and let us know how you are doing. You will find much love here, even if we have to wade through this new system.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;snappy&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi 10grands, it wasn't easy to find you, but here we are. I don't like this system. Don't begin to understand it, but it is what it is as they say. Hang in there and we will figure out a way to stay together. This thread is too important to be lost. Love, snappy&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;possummink, we found our way here. Wasn't easy for me, but I'll keep trying. This thread has so much to offer all of us that we must stay together. The picture of the house with all that ivy on it looked to me like it had Mickey Mouse ears!! Hope your day is going well. DD#1 and her hubby are on their way to the desert for a few days so stopped by to see the house now that it has been painted. Take care...love, snappy&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;goldens, so good to see you. I don't find this user friendly at all, and also want the old posts back. I'm used to scrolling through them and making notes with pen on paper so I remember important things like a date when someone will be seeing a doctor or travelling or a significant date that is hard like an anniversary. I guess we have to play it their way if we are to stay together, and we must do that. So many are helped here or offer help to others. Blessings on you this day, dear friend.&amp;nbsp; snappy&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Bobbisue, yes, we are getting the message. I left you one on the other thread. Praise the Lord for His grace. So relieved for you. A load off your mind and heart. May peace and comfort fill that space now.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; snappy&lt;/P&gt;</description>
