i lost my husband on 5/27/12 to a brain tumor. he came home from work on 2/28 at 4:20 -- had something to eat. we were watching politics on tv and at 4:50 he had a seizure. 3 months later he was gone.

we were together almost 42 years.

i have some health problems and he was taking care of me. now i'm all alone -- no family or friends here.

i'm a mess. i cry -- i scream. i never knew that adults made noise when they cried. i thought only children did that.

since his diagnosis i've been getting panic attacks. doc put me on ativan. sometimes i feel like i'm going to jump out of my skin.
