[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 161448, member: 1963"] Baby blue; I didn't mean my previous post to sound harsh at all, and I realize it may have come off that way. Star raises some very good points in her reply to you. I would add that you don't "get over" being widowed; you get THROUGH IT...somehow. The first step is telling yourself you will get through it, changed? Of course! How could you not be changed by such a life-shattering experience? And, based on your writing style, I would guess you are very young. I'm going to be 48 in July and was widowed in July of '02 at the age of 42. THAT makes me a "young widow" and you are likely much younger than I am. Do put up your into post on the General Board; I think you will find much more in the way of responsiveness there as a LOT of people view and respond on that forum. Meanwhile, if you PM me with your city/town/village, and the state and county you live in; I'll be happy to pitch in and help Star look up more local resources. If you lose internet access, remember that you can usually get access by visiting your local library. There's no crime in seeking low income help; it's another way of taking care of yourself and your difficult child. I am bipolar and would be in a world of hurt without county mental health services; they provide me with sliding scale psychiatrist and therapist services, AND provide me with all but one medication for free. You should be eligible for even more help since you have a small child to care for. [/QUOTE]
