Has anyone seen WendyI lately....I cant recall seeing her posting for quite a while. Hope everything is ok with her.
She has been in touch with one of the forum members and she reported Webdy has been busy. Hope to see her back again soon.
I miss her and New York Sue.
I just sent her an email telling her she is sorely missed. She had some computer issues a few weeks back and has been busy but I hope she signs on soon!!!
Hey all.... Sorry to have worried anyone and not messaged those who have messaged me. I will resspond to everyone shortly but want you all to know how much your kind thoughts mean to me...this really is the kindest place online.
Things have been.... well ....stressful. I am off on stress leave from work right now...depression and anxiety kicked in really bad after my vacation was over. I know it does anyway for most people but mine is exacerbated by already not coping with either of those things very well.
Moving into my own place went well but soon the actual reality of what is now my life kicked in and it became so very real and I just was not able to cope again with the magnitude of my loss. I know that sounds melodramatic but Scott was the love of my life and to have him "mid-life out" and leave me has been incredibly difficult to come to terms with.
I have also been struggling with getting medications regulated and trying to do what I can to combat these emotions that are out of control. It's an uphill battle every day but I think I am on my way at last.
I have not been sewing at all so don't really have much to contribute and just have not been on the computer much at all except to escape into Netflix. I've been practicing a lot of escapism and it is time to stop doing that and get back to whatever my life is going to be now. I miss you all and promise to try and check in every day if I can. Truly wishing that everyone is doing well aond thinking of you often. Xoxoxox

Hey girl, you're not alone!! We're here for ya!!
A very large {{{{{{{{{{{HHHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGG GGGGGGG}}}}}}}}}}} to you Wendy. I wish that you were able to come to the retreat this year. We'd be sure that you had lots of laughs to cheer you up. I hope the doctors can get your meds regulated quickly and you are able to feel better soon.
Hang in there Wendy. Divorce can be like an amputation . A part of your life you knew was there, and counted, on is suddenly gone... and you are left with exposed nerves.
It takes as much time to grieve and go through to the other side as a death might. No disrespect to those who have lost a spouse to death, but it's true. The loss, the pain, the longing, are very much alike.
We miss you.. God Bless.
So good to hear from you! Sorry to hear about being down. I'm kind of going through something too. You missed a whole thread about what to watch on Netflix. Not to enable or anything. lol

Wendy, a little escapism is just fine. Divorce is a major life stressor. It's normal to find it difficult, and to need time to adjust.
Wendy hang in there,were all here for you when ever you need don't forget that.
Wendy, good to see you back. How's Liam holding up?
One day at a time Wendy, you will make it through. Sounds like you are doing your best to take care of you, and that's exactly what you need to do.
Hugs,
Terri
Wendy great to see you posting! Remember this is a drastic change in your life. Baby steps, one at a time. The healing will take time. Hope the Doc gets your meds straightened out. (((((HUGS))))
Hang in there Wendy...we're always here for you. (((HUGS)))
Wendy, it is great to have you back. You have been sorely missed.
Wendy it is so good to see you posting again. Just have to take one day at a time and do what you can. It is a difficult time so take what you need and lean on those you rely on but just know, at the end of this, you will come through stronger. When it is time, remember that sewing/quilting is very therapeutic.
Hugs

Hello Wendy and welcome back. So sorry you are dealimg with these tough issues right now. There's light at the end of the tunnel. The worst is behind you now. Things will get better so just hang in there!
If there is a grief group anywhere nearby you may want to join. One goes through the grief process for divorce as much as for death. Death can sometimes even be easier to deal with...it was usually without conscious choice where divorce was nothing but choice.
Exercise is great for depression. Make positive plans and never forget that you are a very special person...don't let one person change your perspective of yourself. Try not to sit at home and feel sorry for yourself....it destroys life rather than build it. Easier to say than to do....but it is a major part of the reconstruction of your life.
