Sudden death? of Japanese Maple
Comments (2)I too am going through the same exact scenario! On mine though, I have noticed the bark on the morning sun side (east?) is cracked and is peeling off, leaving part of the trunk exposed about two inches off the ground. Should I somehow wrap this or let it go? Could this be a reason too why the tree is "drying out"? The tree is about 6-7 foot tall with a 8 foot spread at its widest point. No idea as to the age of the tree. It happened after about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks of scorching heat here and little rain earlier in July. I would water it at night for about 45 minutes....See MoreSudden death of my 34 year old husband
Comments (6)I suddenly lost my husband 7 wks ago after 34 yrs of marriage. He just retired after 30 yrs at a job he hated and was finally doing something he loved. We had all kinds of dreams and we had just started to enjoy them, now I have to make new dreams for myself without him and I don't like it. I cry all of the time, and I have learned to stay away from people so I don't have to deal with their thoughtlessness. Unfortunately they mean well but because they haven't been through what we are going through they have no idea what will comfort us. Though nothing comforts us at this time. I'm not going to tell you that it will get better, I "hate" it when people tell me this because right now I can't think about tomorrow. Take one day at a time, don't think about tomorrow it will come soon enough and you can deal with it then. You just lost your husband, you need to take care of yourself and cry, cry, cry and then cry somemore. It may not seem as though it is helping but 5 weeks from now it will. You will have your good moments and your bad moments, and your bad moments will be more often then the good ones. This is normal for someone grieving a loved one. I have been reading books on grief written by professionals who have experienced a loss of a spouse and they have helped me to realize all of the emotions I am feeling and going through are normal...as normal can be. Please take care of yourself and hug your children whenever you need him because he is in them. Keep 'blogging' trust me it helps to put it into words. Hugs, Karen...See MoreYoung wife 40.

Comments (3)I'm so sorry for your loss. Sometimes I to think the kids are handling the death better than I am. One year before he passed, I graduated with my masters degree and have a really good job and career, I to feel that my husband didn't get a chance to enjoy the fruits of my labor, especially all that he sacrificed and had to put up with while I was in school. I have a 14 year old boy to which has had difficulty with dad's death, especially at his age. Dad and our son were just starting to bond on a adolescent level when he passed. My heart aches for him that he needs his dad right now. I know we are not given more than we can handle, so someone must think I'm a strong person, at times I don't feel so strong. My kids are my life and my focus, if it weren't for them I would be a mess....See Moresudden cat death
Comments (14)I'm so sorry. My daughters cat died just like this, they did an autopsy and it was Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, it's likely it was an abnormal rhythm, such as something similar to atrial fibrillation in humans. The vet told my daughter that the cat probably did not suffer, which was good! It always hurts so much to lose our pets, but at 15 years old, you gave him a great life...I have an old guy who will be 18 this year, so will be facing the same thing soon! :(...See Morekayjones
