33smiles,
This way of helping me through my time of grief has helped me begin to heal. I am experiencing physical reactions to my grief. Since January, my b/p has gone up, I've had a cancker sore and thrush mouth. I am truely convinced of the mind and body connection but, I had no idea how my mouth would react! Lol I also have Fibromyalgia to add to the mix. I am a regular caller to our local 911. All of the parimedics in my city are friends and life savers for my husband. Along with the type 11 insulin dependent diabetes he's on kidney dialysis. His blood sugars have ranged from 23 to 1,900, yep that's right! IN the last month I've made 3 calls and had a visit from the local police. They came to the door to tell me that my husband had been found semi-consious on the sidewalk about 1/2 from our home. In the last 3 years he's totaled 2 cars in 4 days. Ours and the rental due to low blood sugars. The second accident occured in a city several miles away from our home. He still doesn't know how he ended up there. So, it's hard not to anticipate somethings. even though he trying to keep being independent, it could kill him. But, I guess you could say if it happened that, he died doing what he loved to do.!?***;}
I am still missin' momma. And the tears still fall, like now but, I do know that how this prcess is for me is not unusual and 6 months is average for the first stages of grieving. I have a sister who has Multiple Myeloma, a blood cancer. She's recovering from stem cell transplant therapy. I know that this illness has no cure and is fatal, but her health will be managed with the best of care. She lives in another state so, I gets to me sometimes.
My husband and I are going to East Lansing, Michigan to see our daughter, son-in-law and our firs grandbaby, he's 2 1/2 years old. This is my husbands firs time out of town since 2008 when they got married. Our anniversaries are in the same week! I am looking forward to the trip for me and even more than him. Even with all that goes on I still get the chance to go to Michigan. The last trip in Decmember got cut short because I had to come back 2 weeks early because his blood surgar went up to 1,900 and intensive care.
I keep my daily affirmations and write in my journal. Thank for your post and know that we are here to help each other both near and far, seen and unseen.View Thread
