Could I ask for good vibes more for my wife.

It has been wild year for my wife and I.

My grandmother (94 and in failing health ) passed away and that same week. My Step-mom's mother passed away (she was 90 I believe). My wife was trying to be a rock for me and as helpful as she could be to my family.


My grandmother left us money and we got our condo. (we own it outright --THanks Grandma)

My wife took a brave step moving away from her mother's home town (we are only an hour away from her mother--who didn't want us to go).

We lost one cat Brody after moving down and before moving to our home.
This cat was my wife's shadow. Constantly following my wife or laying next to her.

My mother thought she might have had a stroke and my wife stayed with her in Pittsburgh since my boss wouldn't let me off. She ended up having a minor injury but because she was on aspirin routine because of past strokes she basically had bleeding on the head. ( she had hit her head on the tub as she was rinsing her hair.)

My brother ended up having emergency surgery and again my wife was there to help my brother who eventually just didn't want anyone because he was so bad (He is making a full recovery... he is home and getting better.)

Then my mother's mom passed away.

Now this morning we had to rush another cat to the vet just to put him down.

I just want this year to end. I am afraid my wife is going to come to me one day and say she wants to move back because all this place has been is a bunch of sadness.

It'll get better, don't let it become associated with the new place.

Enjoy it, or try to, and good luck!

I'm sorry for your loss and sadness. It sounds like you are getting to an age, close to my age, when many losses seem to pile up, and the people who cared for us need care, and are passing on. I think it's natural to be sad at that time.

I've had stretches like that. Too many people close to me in bad shape or outright dying on me.

They pass, and then they come again. It's the periods where it seems never-ending that are the hardest, but they do. So will yours, even if it doesn't seem like it now. That's no comfort now, but you'll remember afterward.
