@taxlady I'm sending much ALOHA to you and yours. Take care of yourself, I know that during difficult times in our lives we forget about ourselves.

Thank you for asking. Not great. I have fewer brains than usual. I'm starting to sleep a little better and longer. There's so many things to deal with. Mostly I come here to read and post to get my mind off of everything I have to do.

I have no interest in cooking. So far, I have ruined a steak, reheated some resto pasta leftovers, and poached an egg in the microwave and put it on toast. It really is a lot more fun to cook for more than just yourself. I wonder how other people motivate themselves. I guess it's a bit easier if you have an appetite.

Totally understand. Please know that you are normal. Grief comes in waves. Just hold on and know that Stirling wouldn't want to bring any pain. Hang on!

Oh Taxi, my heart breaks for you. There are no easy answers. It takes time, a lot of time, to find your way. Losing a partner to death is simply a life changing event. Take care of yourself however you can. And please keep coming back here to let us know how and what you are doing.

@taxlady one day at a time honey, one day at a time - that's all you can do, and we're all here to lift you up when ever you need us.
