The morning my husband died (been 5 years now) I was numb and so emotionally tired. After they came and took the body, the hospice nurse told me to go do something for myself. I had no idea what to do because all my life I’ve been focused on taking care of others, not myself (retired nurse and mother of autistic son). She suggest doing something crazy like painting my toenails red. (I’d never had a professional pedicure in my life.) 

So, I walked into a nail salon that afternoon and asked them to paint my toenails red. Sitting next to me in a chair was another women getting her toes done. She complimented me on the shade of red and asked if it was my favorite color. I told her no, but that’s what the hospice nurse had suggested I do and that I had just lost my husband of 40 years. 

The warm water and the foot rub did help relax me and helped clear my mind for a moment. When I went to pay for the pedicure, it had already been paid for by the woman sitting next to me in the chair. To this day, I keep my toe nails painted red. Every time I look down at my feet I remember that day. 

One day at a time my friend. Sometimes one minute at a time! You will find yourself again. It just takes time to heal emotionally.

Oh Lynne, I am so sorry.  I haven't logged on for a while - still adjusting to placing DH, so it came as a shock to read this.  You have my condolences.  I know that there really are no words to comfort you - but please know that I am thinking of you. Peace be with you.

Lynne - 

I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss and I pray you are comforted by the knowledge that you were his rock and did everything within your power to support and advocate for him. I lost my dad to advanced Alzheimers and when he died, I was filled with mixed emotions - wouldn't wish another day of his misery, yet there is still that empty chair.  Now my DH has Dementia and our journey down that road is unescapable.  It's a hellish disease and I know how relieved you must be that your DH has been set free - Still, there is the loss, the grief and sorrow I know you are feeling, and you will be in my prayers.  God bless you and may He heal your broken heart.
