loss of my hon and son
audrey - Schenectady, NYNov 16, 2012 - 08:57 AM
My husband took early retirement at 62. At 65 he was diagnoised with lymphoma and died at 67.
My 52 yr old son died two yrs ago from a brain tumor.
My 53 yr old dtr has been diagnoised with mental illness
My husband was my "KNIGHT IN SHINNING ARMOR"
I was orphoned at 8yrs old and was in several foster homes. At age 20 I met him and three yrs later we were married.
We had a wonderful, happy marriage and 5 children. I miss him a lot.
Each day when I get up I start my day with an hr of quiet time to get me thru each day.
I have 4 wonderful dtrs and three great son in-laws who have been my strength.
I'm fortunate to live near a bike trail and this is my place of worship.
I walk, bike and cross-country ski for mental and physical stremgth.
I also volunteer at a local hospice(since my husband died). Doing this has been very rewarding.
I truly hope there is something beyond us so that I will see my husband and son again.
