Too much chocolate for me. I have plans for this entire week.

I agree, mamag15! If I am eating a chocolate cupcake (which I don't remember the last time I ate one! ), I want vanilla frosting on it! Busy week will make time go faster and keep us from worrrying about anything! Take care, my friend.

Can we count being lazy as a nice plan? I am getting so so so so lazy! Take care, pixipixil!

Thanks nborchardt. Being lazy, especially if it includes a nap? Perfect!

Pixi, Iwish they were happy plans. I am burying my husband and his dad this Saturday, the 26th. My son's 11th angelversary was the 20th of this month.The only good thing is that this will finally help me heal and I can move ahead a little
more. I have already met a guy who wants to start dating me. We did exchange phone numbers. Now I am wondering if I did the right thing. He seems like a nice guy. But I am not sure if I am completely ready to let my husband go. I really need some advice.

Try going to things that are group things if the date will go along with that. Then you can get to know eachother without pressure or hurt feelings if you discover you aren't ready. If he is right for you he'll give you space and still stick around until you are ready.
I guess if you try hard enough you can find an up side to anything. I'm sorry you have such an unhappy month. September is so beautiful. What a shame it will always be filled with sad memories for you. Well here's another sort of good thing. With your doing everything around the same time you won't be hit with sadness at three different times. I will pray you find peace and closure.

I am so sorry you are having all this at once, mamag. I will say extra prayers for you right now. And if you decide to meet this gentleman, follow pixipixil's advice and if he doesn't want to do that, meet in a public place. I met my current husband on an online dating service for seniors, Seniors Meeting Seniors. Make it a public place, you will feel safer. And let someone know where you will be. Good luck!

Mamag, you are getting some very good advice - meet in a public place, perhaps for coffee. The group activity is also a good suggestion, perhaps a museum tour or art display (it's always a hoot to visit those and make sotto voce comments about the artists! ) Take it slow. It just could be that God is sending a friend to you for comfort.
You have some sad duties to handle, but I know you will do them well. I understand - I lost my mother last Thursday. My brother and I will have to bury her ashes later, when it's safe to travel again. She was 96 and ready to go when God called her.

My sympathy, aknan. No matter how old our parents are when they die it is always hard to see them go.

Aknan, I am so sorry about your mother's passing. I will say prayers for you and her soul.

Thank you, nborchardt. It wasn't unexpected, but it was, thankfully, sudden. No lingering illness, but a massive Urinary Tract Infection hit hard and while the drugs seemed to be working, in a few hours she was comatose and never spoke again. She died in 4 days. I'm sure I'll cry at some point, but now, I'm only glad that she's at rest and in God's loving arms.

Oh, Honey!! I am so sorry to hear of your sweet mom's passing. I love your positive attitude. I might borrow some of that from you. I know my loved ones are out of pain and I am sure my hubby and son are together as my husband was saved and Jake was getting curious about religion. With his mental illnesses, he was out of control.My FIL was never a true believer. I just pray that he's also in a better place. Blessings and gentle hugs. Prayers for you and your family as well.
