    Good morning, Lou.
    And I'm hoping that you have been enjoying some time with your friends, as well as your walks in nature. And know that you are in my thoughts. And I'm still taking my days one day at a time.
    Take care always,
    Debra

    Good morning Helena,
    And I'm hoping you have been having some peaceful days. For me, I'm still taking my days one day at a time, and trying to stay busy, and it has been helpful to me to do activities with my kids. Know that you are in my thoughts, and take care always,

    Good morning, Rita
    And I just wanted to say that you are in my thoughts, and I'm hoping that you have been able to have some peaceful days. I'm going to be getting out today with my daughters, and I try to stay busy, and that has been helpful, along with my grief counseling. And I'm so grateful that I found GIC, as I feel comfortable in expressing my thoughts and feelings, and the people here are so supportive, very kind, and so empathetic.
    Take care always,
    Debra

    Thank you so much, Alex. And I'm so glad that you got out for a car ride yesterday with your son. I have found it is helpful to get out of the house, and it is a way to pass some hours. And I'm thinking my daughters and I will enjoy our time out more today as it is a cooler day.

    Thanks, Debra, for reaching out to me &
    other GW on this Sunday. No friends
    here today. I feel "lonely in a crowd" in my
    local cafe, listening to a singer/ guitarist.
    Glad I have my phone so I can "talk" to
    my friends, like you, & not feel so quite
    alone. As I just told George, being
    lonely on a Sunday, seeing loving
    couples around me, SUCKS BIG TIME!!!
    as our good friend, Deb, says. Hope you're
    having a good one. Lou

    Dear Debra, I' m glad that you are having some activities with the girls and you are trying to stay busy. It's so important for us to get something to do. Last week I got a very painful time feeling sorry for myself, but thanks for our friends TGW I got lots of support, they are the most emphatic friends that we have, they know your grieving, my grieving, their grieving, now I do feel much better!!
    Sending you all my love and peace. Helena

    Helena, I understand. I'm feeling very
    lonely, sad, and a little angry, bc I miss
    Linda so much today. As I told George,
    Sundays alone can SUCK BIG TIME!!!
    as our good friend, Deb says. I'm trying
    not to feel so sorry for myself & am
    reaching out to TGW. so I don't feel so
    alone. Lou

    Oh
    Lou, I know how sad are the weekends for us without Linda and Geoff. Today since Geoff died,for the first time I cook Sunday dinner, I never was a good cook but Geoff was guiding me, before his illness he used to cook for both of us, now is only me! and I'm sure Geoff and Linda want us to somehow be happier and remember the good moments we had when they were physically with us. Sometimes the weather doesn't help in our grieving, You are our WARRIOR FRIEND and don't feel sorry for yourself you have us TGW, you know you can reach to us any time even in our very sad and lonely days! Sending love and peace and also big hug! Helena

    Lou! Itz OK That We are Not Ok! Sunday is a hard one for me. I keep trying. It is hard Love and connections and comments between friends onLine are really not enough but it is EVERYTHING. But they are there like the Bridge that connects our old selves to whatever the F we have become. I have no clue who or what I am but I still connect with love to whatever community I can find. It is not easy. Take care. Everything lately reminds me of Valerie. I miss her so!

    I went out for a walk by myself. I get back and go on GIC and write crap in my journal trying to make some sense out of something!

    George, I had been on a high, with good
    friends & music, in my local cafe, but it
    came crashing down today: friends busy
    & singer / guitarist wasn't as good as
    previous musicians here. Lou

    Thanks, George. Precarious is a good
    word to describe ourselves today. Some
    Sundays, when it's warmer & I can walk
    more & see my friends, are better than
    today was. I'm looking forward to
    tomorrow, bc I'm taking a bus to a
    nearby small city, for a change of scenery.

    Hi, Lou
    And you're so welcome. And I know exactly how you feel, as every day I go through a period of feeling lonely. And thankfully we have our phones so we can "talk" to our friends, and I feeling that does help us to not feel quite so alone. And I totally agree that seeing loving couples SUCKS BIG TIME!!! And I spent a good part of the day out with my daughters, and it was so good to get out of the house. And so all in all, today was actually a better day because we were able to pass the time and the weather was cooler, which was awesome. And hopefully you will have a peaceful evening. Take care,
    Debra
