This has been such a difficult time for me, I don't know where to start. In my last post, I mentioned that I had been sick. Sadly, my roommate, who was somebody that I loved more than words can express, caught the cold from me. He had asthma and was having difficulty with his breathing before he caught the cold. I recovered quickly from the cold... he did not. On Tuesday, September 7th, I came home from my aunt's house to find my roommate slumped over in his desk chair. He had died from what appeared to be an asthma attack.
I am still having an incredibly difficult time dealing with his loss. We were together as a couple, then friends who were more like family for over 20 years. Needless to say, I have not been taking any of my vitamins or diatomaceous earth on a regular basis lately. It is everything I can do just to make myself function. I have not been back to work or school since this happened, and I do not know when I will get back to any sort of regular routine.
Once I have gotten myself back into some sort of functional state of mind, I will begin posting on this blog regularly again.
Oh my dear, I am so sorry for your loss, that must be terrible. I will keep you in my prayers. Please continue to post I'd like to know that you are doing OK. In the meantime please take care of yourself, and we both know that DE works so please resume it, the last thing you need now is to stay away from the things that are good for you. May God be with you.
ReplyDeleteI was reading your blog about your experiences taking DE, and I am so very sorry to read about your great loss. Linda B.
ReplyDeleteI'm terribly sorry for you loss! You've been through so much lately. I can't say that I understand what you're going through but I know someone who does. You will be in my prayers. I pray that you experience all the comfort and compassion that Jesus provides by his Holy Spirit. Seek him with your whole and He will reveal himself as everything you need to not only make it through, but to triumph as more than a conquerer!
ReplyDeleteI've lost 2 men to an early death and it was a tough road toward living a halfway normal life. My ex died in October and I cried myself to sleep every night for 4 months. I lost another man in 1998 to a heart attack at 41. He died in his sleep beside me.
ReplyDeleteKeep writing. It will help. I write about my cat Furby the Feral Feline. Without my stories I'd be nuts.
Hi, you don`t know me but I have read your blog many times and just wanted to express my sympathies with your loss! This is a comment field that shouldn`t be empty!:(
ReplyDeleteAnd also to tell you this (even though you don`t know me I hope you don`t mind me telling you these words, just fealt so bad for you)
What a traumatic experience you have been through, sweetie! You were the one found him and that is going to take some time to learn to live with. I am so sorry you had to go through that! I know you have been through things along the way as I have read in your blog, and have seen that even though you don`t feel like it yourself, you are strong! You turned things around and carried on. That is strenght right there! Remember to take care of yourself in the middle of all this, sweetie, even if it is tough every single day. I know it is! I am sure your friend loved you very dearly since you said you were like family. It is important that you get through this too.
I wish the very best for you, and hope you have someone you can talk too so you can deal with this traumatic incident that wasn`t your fault at all. I normally don`t comment on blogs, but I have been through a winters night myself and knows sometime it takes a lot to get through just one day, not to mention just an hour or some minutes. But you will make it as long as you don`t give up. And your blog tells me you are stronger than you give yourself credit for;)
Hang in there:))
Mon:)
I am so sorry for your loss! I just started using DE this morning and found your blog. I have read it from start to finish and am so grateful for your input. When I read about your roommate having asthma and the dusting of the animals and house I remembered what I had read on this other site. I will post the site so you can read the precautions if you'd like.
ReplyDeleteI pray that God will give you the strength that you need to pick up the pieces and carry on. You can do it! Your readers need you!

I am so sorry to hear about your loss - have been following your DE experiences with great interest. I wish you all the best and send you something that brings me comfort when I think of those I love who have gone before me:
ReplyDeleteLove never disappears for death is a non-event.
I have merely retired to the room next door.
You and I are the same; what we were for each other, we still are.
Speak to me as you always have, do not use a different tone, do not be sad.
Continue to laugh at what made us laugh.
Smile and think of me.
Life means what it has always meant.
The link is not severed.
Why should I be out of your soul if I am out of your sight?
I will wait for you, I am not here, but just on the other side of this path.
You see, all is well.
- St. Augustine
I am so sorry... I just came across this blog from google while searching about DE. I wanted to thank you for your posts and saw this. I am so sorry for your loss.
