Romantic film and tears

Buggsroo

When my husband and I first got together, he wore round black framed glasses. A friend of mine told me I was Sylvester and my husband was Tweety Bird. It was a running joke because of my hubby’s sense of humour. 

Tonight I was watching “Evening” in which a woman recounts her past love. I made it through the movie, almost. Then I couldn’t stop crying, buckets of tears, saying goodbye to Tweety Bird and our 28 year wonderful life together. 

It’s been an emotional time, my mother keeps getting angry at me in the hospital, it has happened twice now. She is in terrible pain, uncomfortable and resentful she has to depend on us and has lost her independence. I seem to be a target. My brother was with me and he noticed it as well. I am almost afraid to visit, I don’t want anymore argy bargy.

I came home to turds and a smelly man. So just broke down after he went to bed. Romantic films are fatal. I guess I never expected life without Tweety Bird and I guess I am facing life without him. I guess I am starting to process all these feelings and ugly cry like crazy. Thank god for this forum, I admit it, I really miss Tweety Bird and his marvellous sense of humour.

Buggsroo I’m so sorry you are going through this. It’s hard especially when we really start to see and feel what we are loosing. Sorry you are having a double whammy, your mom and your husband. Sending you hugs and more tissues! I’ve stocked up on them myself!  Those dang movies do every time!

Buggs, it's easy to understand from your post that you are hurting badly. I'm sorry. You are grieving. It's so hard when you think of all the things that meant so much between the two of you, when it wouldn't matter to others. Having those memories means pain, but one day you'll look back on them with fondness. I wish there were something I could do to help.

With great pain I understand. My trigger is a starched shirt. 

I don't think the sadness ever ends but I have found that the wrenching pain comes father and farther apart.

Like Ed, wish I could help.

Dearest Buggs; I am so very sorry for the deep grief and heartache that you are enduring; the losses are so steep.  Though we cannot be there in person with you, think of us as standing at your shoulder in spirit with fellowship and caring. 

With a soft hug being sent your way,

J.

Buggs so sorry you've  been getting it all on fronts. Then something triggers the water fountains to open, it doesn't care where we are,alone in a meeting, just walking out of a store. It finds us and leaves us wondering. I second the motions if I could be there to help I would.

Thank you all. The tears were cathartic however, might give romantic films a miss for a bit. One of my favourite films is Fifth Element with Bruce Willis and every wacky alien in the world. I have watched that over and over, the humour, the costumes by Gaultier and now sadly poor Bruce Willis has dementia and aphasia. 

I am back dealing with poo, one turd was fresh and still warm. Lucky me. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and support. A good cry does help to release the pent up emotions.
