I've lost 5 lbs this week. Not that I want to gain it back, but it really shows me how little I have been eating. Although I am eating choc-chip cookies that the neighbor dropped by last night. I suppose it's a step, and his chickens are free-range, so the egg in the cookies is good.

Make sure you take good care of yourself. I know it's hard, but your daughter needs you more than ever. When she eats, you eat as well okay? Chocolate chip cookies are yummy, but add some nutritious food in there too

When I lost someone dear to me, I made myself keep eating, drinking, sleeping and exercising. It was really hard. All I really wanted to do was lie in bed and be sad. I didn't want to cause any grief to the rest of my family, though. They needed me.

I've read the whole thread, and I'm sending many good thoughts and e-hugs to you and your daughter.

It sounds like there was a whole lot of love between you and your DH, and I'm sure with him being so suddenly gone there is going to be a long adjustment period. Just hang in there, time really is the best healer and eventually the pain will not be so crushing. I agree with everyone who says to continue living by a schedule, eat well, try to get sleep when you can... Those things are difficult in times like these, but they're important to keep you going. I'm hoping the best for you, and just remember your BYC friends are always here to listen and offer support when we can.

Thank you again,

Trying to redecorate the house. The house was always a shrine to his dead parents, and while I am keeping up a few pictures of his parents and of course the handmade rustic furniture made by his father, I am getting my own rugs and curtains. It's odd what you can do when the house isn't dominated by planes with 3-4' wing spans.
