[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 93667, member: 1514"] Susan... I have to almost laugh when you talk about your husband and deer hunting! I am also a hunting widow. As I type this, mine is getting ready to go back out again. He goes out early saturday mornings and then comes in for a few hours and heads back out again. He also goes out at least one afternoon a week if he can. If he can make it on friday afternoon, well that is a plus in his book too. ARGH!!!! I feel your pain! Sometimes I think I could stand naked in front of the door with a bow on my head and unless I smelled like doe pee, he wouldnt notice during deer season! As far as the whole thing about a new Identity, well, my therapist and I have been talking about that lately. She thinks many people could use a workshop on finding a new identity even if they dont have kids like ours. People like stay at home moms whose kids have now grown up and gone to college or got married, widows/widowers, people who have had to change careers, people who have become ill, etc. There should be some sort of place we can go to learn how to overcome this change in our lives. It seems to happen to all of us but we are all so surprised and devastated. We are going to be working on figuring out how to figure out how to find me an identity. I seem to have lost mine somewhere along the way. [/QUOTE]
