On a whim,I decided to try and find an old love online.It didn't take very long
for me to find him...I found his obituary,he had passed away two years ago.
Sometimes looking back into your past is not always the best thing to do.
You know that you are getting old when you start finding your old friends
in the obituaries.
I would really appreciate any fun posts,cards or whatever.I am a little down
in the dumps right now.

Sorry to hear about your discovery. That happened to me TWICE. Google name>find obituary. Not fun.

I'm sorry to hear these. It is very hard to cope with such things.

Time eventually heals all wounds.

Much Love,
Peace

Sorry to hear about that. I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

If this doesn't bring a smile to your face, nothing will:

Thanks everybody,I am going to bed now.I don't think I will
try and look up anymore past loves again.

This thread is dangerous, it's full of cats. I gotta move on to a safer place.

This may not work for you but something that overpowers pain with me is "Ode To Joy" by Beethoven . If you want a light version of it that's quite cheerful go to U Tube and look for Ode To Joy Croatia . Look for a rocky island and time at 4m 31s , it's a promo but it's very good .

Awww, so sorry to hear such sad news. Here's wishing you strength and peace.

Same thing happened with me. All my ex- boyfriends from highschool on, except one, all passed away. My greatest highschool love had married and had 3 children. I found out he passed when I found his childs' obit, and it said, "preceeded in death by his father, Sr."

It gave me pause to think what I would have gone through if life had gone differently for me. I would have been the one to possibly lose a spouse, and then a child.

That, in itself, made me greatful that things had turned out the way they had. I still have my family, and particularly, my spouse.

In all cases, though, I left them or we broke up due to major differences in lifestyle choices. It looks like I made the wiser decisions, so I was able to find a semblance of comfort in that.

One remaining ex boyfriend has been in and out of jails and prisons ever since. I was 17, and that was a long time ago. He looks much older than 50 due to his lifestyle choices. I am quite simply amazed he wasn't one of the first, to be honest.

I say to take the time to reflect where you were in life, and where you are now. Those relationships didn't work for a reason. Sometimes, you can see the hand of fate at work.
