Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!

Hi Everyone...

Just to let you know I'm putting one foot in front of the other and going forward....despite the fact that my feet are like lead....but I'm moving in the right direction. I'm taking it slowly, yet getting through the dreaded paper work that goes with all this, whatever "this" is.

I've never felt this way before. Lost. But the light is just ahead and I know I'll find my way, just don't know when I'll get there. You're well wishes are like life boats to me.....Hugss to all of you!

Peace

Sometimes it is a one step forward, two steps back march, but know that eventually progress will be made.

Thoughts remain with you and your family.

Odat- just live in the moment and take it slow. Don't be afraid to "talk" to your husband...God will make sure he hears.

CS said...

I have been off-line mostly, and haven't been able to check blogs until today. But you have been steaduily in my thoughts. My heart really goes out to you, and I wish you healing and peace.

Honestly you are still amazing me. I can't believe you can even think about posting to inform us of anything. So give yourself some credit hun, you're doing fantastic!

Odat, it's so beautiful of you to say that our well wishes are like life boats. Think of a giant chain of loving hands linked around you, holding you afloat, and that will be all the many, many people whose hearts you have touched.

Your bright spirit and sense of fun have helped so many of us through rough spots, and you will indeed find your way.

Sending love, hugs and prayers to you every day.

One foot in front of the other...no matter how slow you go is the way to do it.
Live for the now, and remember that he is never far away, he is always in your heart and soul.
And we are all here for you.

Jeff B said...

Hoping that all the salutations of peace you've sent out to each of us are now somehow finding their way back to you.

Peace Odat.

Sandee said...

Hugs back to you. I can't imagine honey, I just can't. Good thoughts, vibes and prayers coming your way. :)

It's a time for us to do the hugging- not you. We can't fill the void that has been left, but we will do our best. Loving people like you deserve what support can be given by this- the written word.. I would hug you if I was there-I know you would do the same for all..
Be Well,
The Buf

The Boy said...

The damned bureaucracy of death. The thing you least need delivered just when you don't need it. I remember it far too well...

Breath, and walk on. We're all there helping hold you up.

I still take them one day at a time, and hang on for dear life. You have taught me a lot, and you still are.

Hi Odat,
I wish I had comforting words, anything really, just know that you are in my thoughts and I hope the fog lifts very soon for you. I wish nothing but happiness for you.

Julie said...

I'll be your life boat...I'm amazed at my compassion for you and I don't even know you.

I hope to learn about you though.

Constance said...

Dearest Odat,
It is so new and so recent. There is no hurry and no expectation...

Whatever you do will be all right in whatever way you do it. There is no rule book...

Death sucks.

Sending you love and cyber-hugs and empathy...

Loving Annie

Michael C said...

I'm thinking about...daily.

Amazing Gracie said...

I read through the journal I kept after my first husband passed and I have forgotten how up and down I was, the intensity of all of it...
it seemed overwhelming at times. But I know you'll be okay - everyone needs to work through all of this in their own time.
Sending hugs and prayers your way.
~~~Blessings~~~
