for several weeks now ... and I don't see it happening in the very near future.
On June 12th, I lost my husband of 26+ years. It was sudden and very hard on our kids and grandkids as well as myself.
I will return to quilting - it's been my source of sanity for several years now and I can't see not seeking it out again once my heart can handle it. I'm at peace with his passing because I know he's no longer in constant pain, but finding that I'm a little lost as to how to function without him. I was the one who made sure he ate the 'good' foods, took his meds, got him to the dr appts, accompanied him to gospel concerts which gave him such pleasure. Now, I don't need to worry about diabetic testing, limiting junk foods and that he had clothes that fit ( he lost over 100 lbs in the year or so before his passing... 27 lbs of it in the last month) and that he took the dog for walks ( which was good for both him and the dog), so what do I do besides walk the dog? Time will tell...

Though the circumstances are very different, this is how I felt after quitting my full-time job. There are so many possibilities, it can be overwhelming. And I know the emptiness in your house makes it so much more present. I'm glad you have Buddy and the cats - they will keep you on a schedule (though it may not be the one you'd like some days!) - but I look forward to our bit of competitiveness with quilt projects. And eventually, when you and the world are up to it, quilty adventures, too. In the meantime, I'll keep checking on you, thinking of you and reminding you to ask if you need anything!
ReplyDeleteCarol, I'm so sorry to hear about your husband's passing. Take good care of yourself, and just do whatever you need to do. We'll all be thinking about you.
