Hi, everyone. It's been 3 months since I last posted here. My last post was on the day of my wedding back on May 10. I don't know how many people will remember me, but I remember most of you. At first, I was only on hiatus from the board because of wedding stuff, then honeymoon stuff, then we moved the third week of May, and everything was very hectic. I just didn't have much time to connect. And then, in June, when everything started to normalize, my DH passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. That was June 16 when I was ~25 weeks pregnant.
So I'm now 33 weeks along, back to living in my parents' converted attic bedroom with our cats, trying to figure out how to be a single mom, I guess. I think I'm ready to socialize with others again, even though everything still sucks and is really hard. I just want to be able to focus on something other than my new circumstances and connect with other pregnant women and moms again. I hate to be a downer. I promise not to post about being widowed or bring it up all the time. I just want some normalcy again.
Thanks for reading. I'm glad to be back. I missed everyone I was starting to get to know this past spring, and it makes me happy to read the posts here again.

This is a great place for distraction, support and commiserating! Glad you're back!
Please feel free to ease back in! Post about whatever you'd like. If you want to post about being a widow, please do that. If you don't, we won't talk about it. If you change your mind day to day, change your mind.
We're here in whatever capacity you need.

Sorry to hear about your husband. I agree with PP in saying that if you need to vent go ahead.

My close friend lost her husband (my husbands best friend) 7 months ago but they had no children and I'm sure that adds a very different element to the situation.
Anyway, please feel free to post whatever you want to, my friend found it very cathartic to start a blog about dealing with being a widow at a young age.
