Hi MD and everyone else. MD - I join the others in saying a huge thank you for this site. I lost my Arnold only 3 days ago and the pain has been so intense . . . but being able to talk with others and share stories has already helped. And I go home and share what I read with David, trying to help him heal each day as I know he will not take part in a support group of any sort. This particular posting area, the Cybershoulder Room - is a good idea. It gives us a chance to get to know each other a little more personally and perhaps talk about other things than our loss - because you know, that's important too. We all need to make sure we have other things in our life than just our grief.
I'm amazed at how many of you are from Columbus, OH and/or surrounding areas. My son is a Junior at the Columbus College of Art and Design out there. I've been there only once - to take him to the school for registration. I had planned on visiting this month but the vet and animal hospital bills from this past weekend kind of ate up what I would have spent on making the trip. I'm Nanci, and I live in Wisconsin. I am 51 and manage a small I.T. Department. Since I spend a good part of my day writing computer code, I also have access to the web so can sneak out here when I'm feeling a really bad bout of pain coming on. I love to garden and play tennis in the summer; in the winter I play racquetball several times a week. I have also gotten into scrapbooking this past year and, when I'm able to actually look at all the pictures of my Arnold I will scrapbook them into a memory book. I live with my significant other (aka David, or S.O.). We are both divorced and have 4 children between us. We plan to marry some day but right now finances are getting in the way. All of our children are off to college so Arnold was really our last little one at home. I look forward to getting to know you all, both in the loss forum and here. -------------------- Nanci
