Thank you for your nice email....I know it takes time. Tomorrow will be 7 weeks for me. Do you have the feeling that time is flying, but then look and say "it's only been XX weeks?" At times I feel like it's been 7 years...I guess I'm tired.
I know I'm young, I just hate hearing people tell me I will find someone else. I know they think I will, and maybe someday that will happen, but it feels very insensitive at such a horrible time. I don't think there's any ill-will that comes with a comment like that, they think they're saying the right thing. It just turns out to be the wrong thing.
How are you doing?
I wish I could say I'm ok. Every where I turn there's Malcolm. I think the last message you sent you asked about Taylor, the man who stole a gun from me. You see. Malcolm was a man who loved to hunt, deer, wild hogs, aligators etc. You had several guns and one was left here when he left which was unlike him. He always carried one with him whereever he went. The gun he left was one we hunted with all the time (rifle). Unsure why he left cause he never did. Malcolm was just not himself the whole weekend. something was goin on with him and I can't seem to figure it out. It's going to haunt me my whole life just as the plane crash does. I can't get the image of him all burnt up out of my head. I try but it judt doesn't go away. Olivia, Monday was 3 weeks for us and it just doesn't seem to get any better. I still wake with this horrible knot in my stomach. And I spend the day crying off and on. I am seeking a job but am so afraid that I Am goin to sabatoge myself. Malcolm and I went every where together. There is no palce to hide except church. I am trying and I think I am moving foreward but it doesn't make me feel any better. I miss him so so much. My whole entire life, 24/7, was about taking care of Malcolm. I was truely happy and so in love with him. How do you let go of that?
How is everything going on your end? This is your second go around and I know it doesn't get any easier. I hope you get better with everything and things get easier.

Im glad I have Stephanie. She has been a great help throughout the year but she has a life too and I dont want her worrying about mom all the time. Thank you for all your kind words, you truly are a very strong person and hopefully someday i will get at that point too.
Right now I just need to fix a mistake that is becoming impossible. I was convinced that if I did not get certain items of Malcolms out of the house the family will come and raid the house of all these items. I let him take them and now he is lying about what he has and refuses to return it to me. He wants to get all these people involved who do not need to be involved hence they don't want to be. All this silly stuff but sentinmental to me is gone for good and the family cant get back what they desire. I feel so stupid.
I live in Viera, Florida (central, east). The ranch Malcolm worked on was here next to the house. You sound very positive and have great advice, I just hope you can hear your words of advise.
I am here for you and if ever you need you can always get ahold of me. God is with us throughout all of this and will guide us to where we need to be.
Take care of yourself

Olivia, can you tell tell me something? I am not trying to be rude just inquisitive. If they can hear us and see us then when I tell Malcolm about mistakes I made that would hurt him so badly what keeps him from being sad and hurting himself? I believe they feel no pain and are in peace and complete happiness. Are their emotions just limited to happiness and peace? You see, I have never felt or seen Malcolm. I dream of him. Our dreams are always intimate but his face is never visable. I've only had 2 dreams but no signs, nothing. Today I have been busy between going to court to get a copy of his will (fighting for our home) in hopes there is some chance for me. Went to group grief counceling and met some woman who helped and gave me my light back. There is a little hope now. My daughter and I went looking at apartments ( depressed me cause I live in a nice new 4 bedroom home and we are downgrading to a small 2 bedroom place) We then went to the library and I got books, even though I hate reading about Mediums, heaven etc. I just got home but I found that all day long I spent thinking of Malcolm and all the resturaunts we went to, every road we traveled on and such. I wait to hear the sound of his ranger (4-wheel drive golf court)that we played on a lot at the ranch, driving down the road. It's non stop. Does it ever slow down? Will other things finally enter my thoughts other then Malcolm? How in the world have you done this twice in 2 yrs?Congradulations on making it back to the bed no matter how brief it was. It's a big step. Do you still live in Florida?
Please take care and keep taking your steps foreward. I still hold strong to God and believe he will take care of me. As for another man, I hate that my thoughts go there, I sometimes wonder if
I will ever be loved again or will I love again. Right now my little man, Sami, is my love. He's our dog that Malcolm so loved. He is really sad today and I wish I could make him happy.
Take care
Eating? Still can't really eat. I've lost 20lbs. Trying applesauce, yougart, cheese and soup. Not a lot but I'm trying to like food again. I sleep ok. I think I can get 5 hrs straight some night. I place Malcolms picture on my computers wallpaper so his picture stays on all night. Giving me some comfort, I think. My church is a huge support as for my father and stepmother and my daughters presence takes away the loneliness.
I have God on my side no matter how badly the family treats me and I have to believe and have faith he will protect me. I have to humble myself to apologize for lying to them about items I kept from them that Malcolm had and they wanted. I behaved badly and have faith God will just watch out for me. I cry everyday still, not as often though. I have grief councelors from my church and from hospice . I have at least one thing a day to do. Sometimes it's just a few hrs but it's a start. I can't get ride of any of Malcolm clothes and I no I can be ok by not getting ride of them. The cad and the pictures I believe never was meant to hurt you and I know your girl see it that way. Hopefully she can try to see it their way. Keep going. Have you tried a support group? I have my first one on Tues. I'll let you know how it goes. Take care of yourself and put one foot in front of the other. Baby steps are ok. I'm glad your around. Where is home for you? Talk soon
