Good Morning--- FINALLY--I am on here---altho I feel like I have been run over by a tractor--- SLOWLY---- very slowly---- I am returning to life--I think-- Life will never ever be the same--I know that--- Eventually I will return to Elliot Lake-- I do know that--may have to live out my lease , here, while searching for an apartment in Elliot Lake --- No more houses---which eventually have to be sold--
We will have a service, in Elliot Lake for Fred, in July, but, I shall keep everyone posted when and where----I shall not call it "A celebration of life" --but , probably something like, a " Memorial" of DR Young's accomplishments"--or something like that-- He is cremated as his wishes were to have his ashes in Dunlop Lake--
All of you have been absolutely wonderful-- I will stay here in Lakefield until the apartment where I now reside, till , the lease is up, (It was a years lease)- and then for sure I will return to where I was (-in Elliot Lake--)
I am sorry it has taken so long get back to you all--but, losing Fred, my husband, is the worst thing that has ever happened.----
This morning, I was at Shoppers Pharmacy in Peterborough getting a pneumonia vaccine--Fred had Pneumonia in both lungs---- Please go and get your vaccine-- so "YOU" can be strong--in case you get a flu bug--
I shall chat with yo all, to-morrow--Lynda
Again Lynda I'm so so sorry for your loss. Know that I've kept you and your family in my prayers. I pray for strength and peace for you. Don't rush into too many decisions. Give yourself time to breathe again Lynda. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynda! So good to see you here! I wasn’t expecting to but it is very nice! I am not sure what to say but I have been thinking about you and the family so much! I am sending you peace, comfort, hugs, sunshine and lots of ice cream from Ohio!:)

ReplyDeleteLynda, you owe us nothing, in terms of "sorry". I know things have taken a drastic change with Fred's loss, and your readers are the ones who are sorry... for your loss, and the adjustment you're having to go through. I do hope you take the time to breathe, day by day, and work out the life "from here onward" without rushing it.
ReplyDeleteHugs & prayers, my friend.
Lynda, happy to see you here, but there's no need to apologize for not blogging. You were missed, of course, but you've gone through a life altering experience, so all of us have understood why you were absent. Seeing all the comments to you after losing Fred, shows how much you are loved and treasured. Just take one day at a time. You have a treasure trove of memories of your life with Fred and raising your five children, and the memories can't be taken away from you. God Bless you Lynda and your family.

Lynda, no apology needed, but happy to see your posr. All of us love you and share in your grief. You've shared Himself with us and we are terribly saddened by his passing.
ReplyDeleteTake care of you. Much love and big hugs.

My most sincere condolences for your loss. 🙏🏻
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you Lynda. Take it slow and be kind to yourself.
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping you in prayer; please take good care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteLynda, I do know you must be grieving Fred, and I also know how hard it was getting on you to care for him, I've been down that road, with a much older husband. Lots of adjustments, both good and bad. Sold the house, sold all his belongings, had a total knee replacement, learned how to do all the chores that he used to do, such as taxes, and such. You will have a huge adjustment coming, take all the time that you need. Again, my condolences. Marti
ReplyDelete((HUGS)) my dear. I wish you all the best, whatever decision you make – staying there for awhile or back to Elliot Lake eventually. There’s time.
ReplyDeleteOh m gosh, I really didn’t expect to see a blog from you til sometime next week. Glad you wrote, though.
Glad you got your pneumonia vaccine. Very necessary.
HUGS, blessings, prayers, peace, love -- so very sorry for this devastating loss.

Hi Lynda; We're happy to see you back but no apologies needed. We didn't expect you back for a bit. You've had the biggest loss you could have. Take some time for yourself to adjust to the changes you have. We are all still here for you when you are ready to talk to us. Take care. Spend some time with Matt and his wife. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteWow! I am glad I checked again, but you've probably already read comments.
ReplyDeleteYou may grow to love Lakefield. You now have choices.
I suppose the kids (except for Mat) are gone to their homes now, and you are alone with Sushi and Lopez. Lopez has no worries now.
You will be fine, sis. You can now live your life for YOU.
A great friend here (I may have mentioned Donna) had to have her wee Yorkie euthanized today. Very old. You know how that feels...and more so.
I hope you see this Lynda. I am still holding you in my thoughts and prayers. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
Lynda, Please do not feel sorry for not blogging. Your life has been up-ended and will never be the same....you need to take time for yourself to do whatever and whenever you want for a while. You are still in shock because of everything that happened so quickly. Grief is hard. But grieving is natural so don't fight. Losing your life partner is awful....as I went through it 6 years ago and I still miss my husband just as much today....I just don't cry as much. But I still have those pity me moments. I hate being a widow. And there is so much to take care of paperwork wise. Just take one day at a time and keep going forward, because we can't go back and live in the past. One foot in front of the other, one day at a time. You can do this and you will be very sad.....losing the one you loved and lived with so many years is overwhelming. I wish I could hug you and comfort you as I know what you are going through. I did a grief counseling online a year after George died, because I lost my mom the that next year during Covid and I was heartbroken again...and struggling.....so I am hoping that maybe you can find a church or a group for you to join so that you have some support? Love you Lynda! I am praying for you!

ReplyDeleteLynda - e-HUG. No words are enough Know we are thinking of you. 💔
Sending hugs….you are in my thoughts. ❤️ Eissa7. (Karen)
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry! I have been through this and it is so hard and sad. Things got better for me slowly and I tried not to make any decisions for the first year. I am thinking of you, you really are a wonderful person! Liz
ReplyDeleteAs a widow, I have some idea of what you are going through. Grief is different for everyone, and it takes a long time to come to terms with the loss of your spouse. I would not make any quick decisions about a move, and when you do, make sure you do a pros and cons list. Take care of yourself, remain strong, cry when you feel like it. These early days are just plain hard and exhausting. Sending hugs.
