Need to talk, and not sure where to post this.
My hands are shaking badly. My favorite uncle died earlier today, and I’m a complete wreck. He’s the first family member I’ve ever lost, and I’m really struggling with this.
My Dad’s favorite brother. His sister also had a stroke a couple of weeks ago, so he’s way worse than I am.
I’m currently fighting off a migraine, and can’t stop crying. Trying to calm down by chasing Windstones on Ebay–the Emerald Kinglet, and maybe the Brown Griffin if the reserve isn’t too high. Windstones usually cheer me up.
Eating dark chocolate and drinking Gatorade–probably not helping the headache… Husband is at work until 8 tonight.
So hard to breathe. There’s a gaping hole inside. OMG it HURTS SO BAD!
Crying all over my cat, and he’s glaring at me–made me stop crying for the moment. The look on his face!
Can’t imagine how my cousins are feeling…
Want to go hug my horses, but not going to drive like this. Will have to calm down first.
No funeral is planned; just a memorial. Want to go to my Dad’s, but not sure about that yet. Will have to talk with my brothers…
Need any prayers you care to send our way.
Thanks for listening…
How horrible, can your husband come home to be with you? Maybe there is someone you can call? *hugs* to you
Thanks everybody. You’re all awesome–as usual!
Unfortunately, my husband can’t come home because he’s in there by himself on Thursdays. I’ll be bawling all over him as soon as he walks in the door in about 3 hours–I’m praying he doesn’t get stuck late tonight.
I agree with Tintaglia, cry all you need. I know it won’t help your migraine but holding it in will be much worse.
Big hugs! And yes, cry all you want. The head and sinuses may not thank you for it, but your psyche will.
Take care.
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

I host the feedback lists, which are maintained by drag0nfeathers.
http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmSo sorry to hear of your loss. Just a little longer and your husband will be home to hold you. Hang in there. Perhaps once he is home, you can go to your Dad’s and grieve with him together. That may help you and your Dad more than you think.
Anyway, it is always hard to lose someone, especially when it is sudden like this. Cry all you need to, and I suggest taking your migrane meds, and perhaps a decongestant to help with the aftermath.
Everything will be okay, not soon, but in time. I offer you hugs and a shoulder to cry on. Much sympathy and caring headed your way.

I’m so sorry about your loss. Sometimes all you can do is cry. But drink lots of water – you’ll feel worse if you don’t.
Dark chocolate and windstones are a good combination. But it really just takes time – sometimes lots of it. And don’t be surprised if you start feeling better and then have a really bad day. That’s normal, especially around the holidays or his birthday or some other day that has meaning. But sometimes you just wake up missing him and it feels like he just died. But things will get better. It sounds as if you have some wonderful memories of him. And it’s ok to laugh – people sometimes feel guilty if they laugh or have a good time.
Thanks again, everyone! *Gratefully accepting hugs and prayers*
I’m starting to calm down, and am actually getting hungry, so I’m hoping that’s a good thing, and maybe it’ll help the headache.
I’ll have to get this picture thing figured out soon, so I can share some memories with all of you.
He was a huge part of my life while I was young, and we spent literally years together fishing, hunting, and riding horses. He was a real cowboy, and taught me a lot about everything. It’s hard to believe he’s gone, but I’m glad he was in my life, and will try to help those closer than I was to celebrate that life.
Think I need to try to eat.
More tomorrow.
Wish there was more I could do for you 😥 I’m so sorry for your loss. You can always use my shoulder to cry on if you need to. I can’t add any more to the advice that’s already been given but I can offer a soft place to fall if you need it. Sending prayers and good thoughts to you and your family.
