Grief Support for Loss of Spouse

Surviving spouses face a 66% to 90% higher risk of death in the first three months after a partner passes away, a medical phenomenon known as the "widow hood effect".

Over the entire first year, grieving men face up to a 70% higher risk of death, while grieving women face a 27% higher risk.

Plants

I sold the staghorn fern and other plants this week.
They would not do well in Ohio and they are too large to try and move.
I really do like having plants but I had to let them go.

Once I get settled in a new place then I will see what plants might make sense there.

Cooking

Today is the first time that I have actually cooked a meal since you passed.

Kielbasa, green beans and potatoes sounded good on this cool day.

Car Plates

I made it to the Tax Accessors office today to turn in your car plates and handicap parking tags. Even this is sad to do.

Sunday 10/18

After working for 3 days with Rhonda on packing and cleaning.

Sunday was chilly enough that I decided to use the fireplace and relax for the evening.

We have 3-4 nights in the low 50s.

Wooden Doll & Watch

I found the wooden doll & book as well as the watch of Lucy that Shery was looking for.

I will take them to Ohio when I go in November.
