Its ok. It is late Saturday night. I do not want him. I do not want to hear his voice. But, I miss him. It is not logical. I know when I sleep, I will feel better. I just hate these sudden waves of sorrow.

It sucks. Do you have a sleep med you can take? A movie you can watch that always distracts you? Or maybe you wanna be sad? I know sometimes I need to wallow. I hate it, but I need it. I shake it off soon after, but sometimes I need it. If so, do you have enough kleenexes around?
All of my advice is based on experience and reading. I am not a medical doctor, and have never even played one on TV.

For me its the weekend mornings. At least weekdays I am getting ready to go to work. But weekends if I have no plans its a reminder of how empty my life is without a SO to share LIFE.

I just thought things would go back the way they were because I thought that there was still a wonderful person with a heart that still loved me.
---why we stay with them, thanks sososad51


My love for her is eternal...see you in heaven.
Well, maybe not...that was then and this is now. Not enough of me...so all my love to my son, self, and future "her".

I've moved on physically and mentally....but my heart does'nt want to come along for the ride.
...thanks DrDiva

I have always been able to fix things....I can't "fix" this.
....Thanks, Southerskies

Stop living in hope....move on.

This disease changes our loved ones into becoming the monsters we never knew existed.

I have learned to mourn the Death of a Living person....for the one I loved 'died' years ago.
thanks, Crushedheart

We Will Never Forget...that they are the crazy ones not us!

Weekends are tough here too. There are things that I notice that I wish he was here to share. The apple crop. The humid wind blowing across the tree line. Bringing me coffee in bed. Sharing time on the porch. I have been trying to make plans on weekends, they are tough. It helps to have something to do.

Its ok because I do manage to fall asleep. Although I wake up about 5 times a night sometimes. And I dream about us fighting or making love or something. It passes, of course. It is a challenge, because although I know for sure without a doubt, that there is no way we can be together .. I still stare at the phone and have to fight off the urge to just hear his voice. Because when he was calm (never in the end), I loved him so much. We had everything in common. We were in love and in some ways, joined at the hip. I miss him. But, no way no way can we be together. It is the weekends, especially Sunday morning. And dinner time every weeknight .. I feel hollow, then angry, then just stupid sad. I go out and take walks or find a friend or do stuff .. keep busy. I cannot even remember the last time we made love. But I can remember his smell and the way he breathes in his sleep and his quirky smile and lots of little things. It takes time. I am not going back .. No way.

Glad you made it through the other side. I usually wake up for about 2 hours each night while my mind works on some things. And in the morning I feel pretty sluggish. Just happy I am not back where I was last nov 2 when this all began!

Hmm...the weekends were often pretty raunchy for me. When I lived with my dad, there was hardly any life, no activity. I had a veil of depression, as he slept most of the time. I work the weekends, now, so it's a little different, but I still get the blues when I don't have the kids in the morning.
