There is light,

I’m gonna post this here, hoping that it will help. MrsK passed 16 months ago.
My life had been , and still is LilBit.
This morning we did our usual , grocery( I buy food by the day, it gets Lil out and about) , buy cigs, get LilBit a coke.
Uhm the grocery clerk said hi to us and said” would you guys have dinner with me?”
I panicked, said “ uhm. Not today “ I’m such an idiot.
I went back and talked her , LilBit and I will be going on a date.
My point here, I never thought when she died. I could even think about another woman, I was so taking care of LilBit. LilBit is 35 I’m 62. My mind was “ no one needs my baggage “
Well I was wrong . We all grieve in our own way.
May take 1 sweek, or 1 year, or a second, but


There is light at the end , just do you! I did

To all here in this group
LilBit and I love you, you will get through this.

You just triggered me, I’m okmight wanna read “mental health” on DU or at least research the author of the post you replied to.


It’s l kinda what we do as Dems, to avoid these situations.

I spend a lot of time on DU looking at cat and dog and bird videos. It was an honest mistake. I never would consider reading someone's profile before I respond because I wouldn't treat anyone any differently. I'm pretty new to this site and it seems like everyone already knows each other. So while others may know your daughter by her nickname I didn't. One thought I have is that you call her by her real name to strangers to show her respect and dignity as the adult that she is. So, one last time, I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
