Hi everyone. I am only here for a few minutes. Wanted to thank everyone for their kind words, prayers, positive energy, posted here and in the many emails I have received. My folks are here now as is my other brother and sister. Tammy's folks are devastated to say the least and we are helping as we can when not sitting vigil with Buddy. They also have a very strong support system so that is of great comfort to them and by extension to us. The funeral for Tammy is Monday. Buddy is probably not going to make it but we don't know what prayer and medical science can do. I will be out here for some time as I have plenty of vacation and my employer is incredible. Dad is retired military and does part time work when he feels like it, mom does floral arrangements so work is not an issue for her either. Unless Buddy passes before the funeral the sibs will be heading back to their families and jobs on Tuesday and be at the ready for whatever comes next.

Sure puts all my issues in a dfferent perspective.

All prayers of all faiths are welcome! Or whatever it is that works for you. I just know we all need them right now.

I feel like I am walking in mud.

Thank you friends,
grace

bitterlystung,

A word of advice from someone who has been there.

Don't forget to take care of yourself. It is a necessary part
of taking care of him. This is especially true for the individual who
holds his medical power of attorney! They must have a clear head
for good judgment.

Taking care of you is not selfish, it is a part of caring for him.

Outlier

Hi everyone. Wow.. got lots of nice responses here and in my email. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I got a lot of emails and can't respond to them all right now, but just wanted to say thank you and let you know how things are. Buddy passed on not long after my last post, actually. We were all with him as he was "unplugged." He was cremated and placed in the casket with Tammy, and we all got little urns (I didn't know they even had such things) so we all have a bit of him with us. It is amazing the he survived the accident at all. Tammy was immediate. They had a run in with an 18 wheeler and it was likely Buddy's fault, but not because he is a bad driver, from accounts we think he was trying to avoid an animal. Yeah, it's the first thing you learn in driving school, but the kid loved animals. The ONLY thing we are grateful about is that both went together, the other didn't have to face life without their partner. Tammy's family is amazing and their support system was there for us, too. They still are. Our parents are still out west, they are staying in their house, taking care of all the legal things. They are even thinking of buying the house. I don't know if I could do that, but I'm not a parent, either. I guess everyone deals with things differently. My mom and dad are very stoic, strong people, have seen a lot in their lifetimes, so that probably is part of their fabric. I've been back a few weeks and working. Doing my volunteer work with the animals. Those people were wonderful, too. Gosh, I had only volunteered a couple of times and they sent flowers and helped my helper with my dogs! This is the first time I have felt like doing anything outside of focusing on work and volunteering so I guess that is a good sign.

As for my bitterness, well let's say that losing Buddy and Tammy so tragically, so fast, sure has put a different light on my life. I have been doing a lot thinking and soul searching. It just isn't worth holding onto that pain. It's still there. Some. It still stings. Some. But I am looking at it differently than I did before. And guess what? They sent flowers, too, and a very nice Mass card. Life goes on.

I better get back to work. I will check in occassionally and probably get a new name to identify myself and let you know who I am when I do! Thank you all again for your wonderful words, thoughts and prayers. This is indeed a nice place to be.

I haven't been online in months. I couldn't believe the amount of supportive email I had. Thank you. Here is an update I put on my journal. I'll be changing my online name hear soon. I'm not so bitter anymore.

I haven't been here in a long time. It was a long summer. My mom and dad bought Buddy and Tammy's house and moved West. My other brother and his wife bought my parents house. Lots of moving and packing and paperwork and living life in between. I'm still volunteering at the shelter and have met some great people. I'm coming out of my shell and I think soon may even venture back into the lifestyle.

Take the time you need to get past this. As outlier said, make sure that you take care of yourself.
