Thank you. Having my last session of therapy. The groin area is still not feeling that good, but it is manageable. Right now I am having trouble getting my head around what I will do for the rest of my life. When my chores are done, it is too quiet and I still cry for him. I expect that will go on for some time. I am just trying to get through each day at a time.

Good morning, @thisismarilynb Good to read your PT is helping! I have a few health issues that I also rejoice that they are staying in the "manageable" category and have given up on thinking I can live discomfort-free at my age.

My wife's birthday is coming up in two days. I have cried more this week than I usually do, but have come to embrace my tears as a sign of my undying love for my wife.

As far as the quiet goes, I do keep music on all day long! I'm not a big TV fellow, but I really love having music on. I find it a comfortable companion during my days, especially when a special song comes on and I am transported to my memories from long ago! I call it my "free travel"! This reminds me that my wife's and my song was the silly Captain and Tenille song, "Muskrat Love"! Weird, eh?

I agree with you that those of us who have lost a loved one face a new and different future. It's why I keep my "To Do" list going every day. I always want to know there is something for me to latch onto each morning. Some are tiny, like writing a note to an old friend, some are bigger, and most are mundane like cleaning projects, but they do help keep me going!

I hope the sun is shining on you today,
Strength, Courage, & Peace
