I joined this site a few years ago but did not succeed. This time I have more important reasons for quitting and because of a sudden life change 18 mos. ago it is going to be harder to quit. 18 mos. ago the love of my life, my best friend, the person I admired most, my husband John, was killed in a motorcycle accident. It was a beautiful sunny August afternoon and some fool ran through a stop sign and killed my husband. John was in a coma for 3 weeks and in that time he never moved, flinched, opened his eyes, or responded to anything or anyone around him. For 3 weeks I watched him die. It was such a shock. In the 3 weeks he had a birthday and we had our 42 wedding anniversary. We have 3 sons and they lost their hero. They were there for me and continue to be but none of them are married, so it is hard to understand how devastating losing John has been for me. I am still grieving and the hurt will always be with me. The day he died a big part of me died also.
I am trying to move forward, but it is difficult especially the long nights. I feel like I have aged at least 30 years and I have gained about 30 pounds. I need to get healthy for myself, for my husband, and for my boys. I am going to need a lot of help. Anyone wanting to be a buddy or friend I would really appreciate. I will write more about myself in a few days, but if anyone wants to comment or send me a message that would be great.
