Just threaten to go back to the church & get an exorcism on this house if the entity in the corner doesn’t stop annoying my dog. I don’t know if I’m playing 4D chess or drooling on a checker board.

I’m going to die alone & not be found for a week. My hubs died with me, our children & his sisters there because I called them. No one cares about me, I’m dying alone. I so wanted to end me years ago, but now I get to be a stain in n the hardwood.

My marriage wasn't great, but there's something to say about comfortable compatibility. It's the little conversations about what's happening in the world I miss the most. Doesn't help I'm stuck in a frozen tundra...well, damn close.

Got the new license plate & put in for the new title, turned in the old phone. Slowly erasing my hubs. God, this sucks. Get married, have children so you don’t die alone 33 years later & I’m all alone to clean up everything. Wish I went first.

This is excruciating. I'm trapped here, beautiful house, too large, in a freezing area. The weather was fine until he had his stroke on 11/20, snow started the day he died, 11/22. Everyone has gone on with their lives, I live trapped here with the ghosts. I don't think I'll make it to spring.

We moved back to NEPA in July to live out hubs remaining years near friends & family. Hubs Night Shyamalan passed end of Nov. Now I'm stuck here during one of the coldest periods NEPA has seen, wind sounds like it's gonna take off my roof. Weeeeee...

Eldest left to go back to her life after 6 weeks. I’m on my own for the first time in my life. Add to all the ghost of the past floating by & randomly giving me gut punches, it’s hard. So fecking hard.

It’s another stay-in-bed morning. But it’s a warm bed & my daughter brought me some Motrin for my leg. It’s a journey.

Today is really heavy. I feel like gravity add 600 lbs to my body, especially my shoulders. Grief doesn’t fuck around.

After 50+yrs of suppressing emotions, hurting my leg has become a path for the grief from my hubs passing to come out. This is becoming the longest holiday season I have had the displeasure to experience

Found out around $1700 in donations in my hubs memory have been collected by the 2 local charities. Also heard a few local food banks have received nice sums. I’m so grateful, my hubs was big on supporting local charities. My heart sings.

Time to go up to see my hubs at the funeral home. We’re doing closed-casket tomorrow, but the girls want to say goodbye. I already said goodbye, but a mom’s duty is never done. Dammit Jim, you really know how be the center of attention.

My husband died last Friday. His viewing is this Friday. We had weeks of great weather. The day he went we had the 1st snow storm. It’s been rainy & miserable since. The man had timing.
