He annoyed the hell out of me sometimes but in that way that people you're super close to do. My husband seems to be getting better most of the time. It was rough because he was having to take care of logistics and then was in a funk for a few days. He's found ways to cope though like preserving all of the pictures of his dad online and taking an interest in things his dad liked to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-been-an-eventful-and-ultimately-rough-summer-and-i-need-to-vent-a-bit#post-265750 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 14:08:06 +0000 DillonLion 265750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry about your struggles and the loss of your FIL. I've been having a hard summer too, but nothing like this. Hang in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-been-an-eventful-and-ultimately-rough-summer-and-i-need-to-vent-a-bit#post-265748 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 14:07:12 +0000 jedeve 265748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I thought I was having a bad summer! It's amazing how people think newborns "fix" everything. "Oh it doesn't matter - you have a new little baby to rejoice in!" But life is still going on outside. I hope you have a peaceful and easy year from here on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-been-an-eventful-and-ultimately-rough-summer-and-i-need-to-vent-a-bit#post-265731 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 13:52:45 +0000 Clementine 265731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( Hang in there! Wishing you a very peaceful and restful summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-been-an-eventful-and-ultimately-rough-summer-and-i-need-to-vent-a-bit#post-265709 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 13:39:36 +0000 loveisstrange 265709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry. I got pregnant 2 weeks after my FIL died. He was such an interesting person and had so much to give. I get sad all the time knowing that she will never know him.</p> <p>I really hope things get better for you guys. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-been-an-eventful-and-ultimately-rough-summer-and-i-need-to-vent-a-bit#post-265706 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 13:37:50 +0000 regberadaisy 265706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh, I'm so sorry. It's always hard to lose someone especially someone so close in relation even if you were not close. Life's funny like that, the start of a new one sometimes is the end of another.</p> <p>How's your husband doing?</p> <p>HUGS to you &amp; your family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-been-an-eventful-and-ultimately-rough-summer-and-i-need-to-vent-a-bit#post-265704 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 13:37:03 +0000 mrsjyw 265704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh gosh... HUGGGGS, i'm sorry for the emotional roller coaster you've been on this summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-been-an-eventful-and-ultimately-rough-summer-and-i-need-to-vent-a-bit#post-265703 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 13:36:50 +0000 Rubies 265703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super duper hugs! What a rough few months. I hope things start looking up and that you feel better soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-been-an-eventful-and-ultimately-rough-summer-and-i-need-to-vent-a-bit#post-265700 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 13:35:14 +0000 BelugaBean 265700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our summer started with us moving when I was almost 38 weeks pregnant. We moved from Minnesota back down to around the Charlotte metro to be closer to family as well as for my husband to accept a better job. Then of course our little girl was born a couple of weeks later. </p> <p>Then the unthinkable happened. My FIL had been sick for a few months but nobody expected it when he passed away when our daughter was a few days shy of three weeks old. I didn't always get along with him but it's weird to think I'll never see him again since I've been with my husband for six and a half years. It also just kills me that he never met our daughter. He didn't know what he was sick with so he didn't want to come and land her in the hospital. It's hard though not to wish that we had gone to see him or made a bigger effort to invite him to see her. I also don't know what to do about smaller things like the birth announcement addressed to both of my husband's parents, written the day before he passed away.</p> <p>It's just been rough and I wanted to vent a little. I might add more if more comes to my mind. It's just been a lot to deal with this summer and I actually hope for an uneventful rest of the year (besides watching our LO reach different milestones). </p>
