I didn't realize you two were sisters!

I think of her often. Please give her my love and let her know I'd still love to do lunch whenever she's up to it!

Thank you Lynn and Clee for the update, it's so good to hear from you.

I'm so glad that you've made the decision to move, it really sounded like a great idea when you first mentioned it. I know that when you mentioned it you were worried about leaving 'the boy', but it sounds like he'll do just fine! Big (((Hugs))) to you and your family.

Wench - love the spiderlings LOL!!

Seriously? Women think that widows are after their husbands? How awful!! The only thing I would think a widow would want out of my husband is furnace filter changing and spider squishin'. What idiots!

Lynn, I was so happy to see your update. Clee, thanks for posting it.

I have been wondering how you've been Lynn. I didn't know you weren't posting right now and missed that piece. I hope you are well. Is there anything I can do please let me know.

I didn't realize you were sisters. Thanks for passing on Lynn's update. I was just thinking about her recently. Will be glad when things are settled and she can come back to 2Peas!

Thanks for the update Clee and Lynn. I'm so glad you guys have each other! And it absolutely warms my heart that you will be moving to be closer to your MIL. That is so rare and special. I pray everything comes together and the repairing/selling of the house and move will be easy.

So nice to hear an update ScrappinSpidey. I can't imagine what you have been through and you sound like an amazing family. I hope it brings you more peace to live near your MIL. Best of luck and come back when you are ready.

I was wondering about her a few days so- I didn't realise she had left he pod

So glad to read that she is surviving despite all that life's throwing at her. And I agree with other posters, she is lucky to have such a great sister!

Thank you for the update. I'm so glad there are some good days peppered in with the bad.

Why can't she post here or on Facebook? I must have missed that part.

I just heard about your loss and though the words are small please know that I am so sorry for your loss. Dealing with grief is so difficult and emotionally draining. Be gentle with yourself and try to find a little joy each day. For me that was the hardest part. I felt guilty if I forgot for a moment about my loss. But eventually the good days were more than the bad day. Hugs to you dear.

hugs spidey, and sending good peaceful vibes to you and your family. I'm glad your DD is getting it back together, and that you're making longer term decisions about where to live etc.

hang in there, and know that you are so very, very loved.

I am another pea who wonders frequently how you are all doing Lynn and good to hear things are moving - even if too slowly sometimes) in better directions for you all.


It has been hard to know "what is right" or "what is wrong" to do and I fear being the person who causes her major pain out of ignorance. BUT the alternative is NOT being there for her and I can't do that.


Hugs for you Clee ... trust your instincts you are obviously getting it right.

Best wishes to you all

Cathy

Thanks so much for updating us, Clee! Spidey and her kids and inlaws were so on my heart and in my prayers over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Those "firsts" without Daddy and Hubby around... I have no words!

Spidey, just know there are many of us who are missing you and keeping your family in our hearts. I'm thankful that you were able to finally get the counseling thing worked out and that you have plans to look forward to.

We just need to find you a great drywall expert!

I don't understand why she can't post any longer. This wasn't a criminal case.

It's grief! Overwhelming, terrible, horrible grief.

When you are trying to cope with such an indescribable loss, lots of things won't make sense to those on the outside - you'd think keeping food to eat in the house wouldn't be an ordeal either - but it is. I'm certain that some days even trying to get through the next hour is an unimaginable ordeal. Sobbing so hard you feel like you can't breath....

The day will come again when she does have the emotional energy to post and join in on the Pea mayhem. For now, she needs to just get through the day/week/month.....

Well, that is true, definitely, there was a little more to it. There was a dispute with the insurance company about the accident claim, and her attorney told her to shut down her social media accounts, due to a possible pending lawsuit.

Lynn like so many others, I have thought of you often and am so glad to see this update. I hope you and your mil will be of great comfort and strength to one another.

With that said, why did none of us know you guys are sisters?!

Thank you. The way it was said, I knew there was more to it than grief, although I can only imagine how terrible the grief is.

Big (((hugs))) to her. The part about losing friendships because women are concerned she's after their husband makes me sad. I pray that she and her kids continue to heal and find their way through all of this.
