Jean

My name is Jean, I'm 54 years old (if it's still 2015 anyway). I have 4 living children and one who passed away April 25, 2012.

I am now a widow - which is so very very strange. My husband of 32 years died quite suddenly in our house, in our basement and in my arms at 1:32 am Christmas morning (12/25) 2013. Because of everything that had happened that morning, I have now been diagnosed with PTSD.

I have been physically disabled and stay at home mom since 1999. I have Severe Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Degenerative Disc Disease (genetic, not arthritic), MS, Chronic Anxiety Syndrome, PTSD. Gee, that's so much fun!!
Yet, I'm healthy as a horse! LOL

I love to cross stitch, paint, do puzzles and wood working! My dad taught me how to do wood working, electrical and plumbing. Has come in handy around here, that's for sure! :)

I started this private journal to keep my thoughts and such from driving me totally crazy. I've been having an extremely hard time dealig with things, mostly money issues. I also did something really stupid last week (Friday 5/1/15) and now I'm really paying the price (well not paying, I have nothing).
No one in the family seems willing to be a rock for me to lean on. So, I turn to the laptop.
