Flew The Coop
Добавлен 16 июл 2013
Why would a retired woman start a RUclips Channel? For me it's because I wanted something new to learn and this sounded fun. I also want to make some new friends, seems as you get older so do your friends. Some have moved away, some have passed away, and many have lost that laughter they once had. I named the channel "Flew The Coop" because I want to get away from a boring retirement and do something fun! I'm sure my first videos will be sloppy and maybe they will never improve. But I'm gonna give it a go anyhow.
I have found that if I tell others I'm doing something, it's easier to actually do it. So here are some things that I will be doing: de-junking my house, working in my yard, preserving food, some prepping, maybe some crafts, dancing, laughing, having fun, relaxing, camping in my van, while pushing my husband to do it all with me, and most important going where the Lord leads me!! So if you want to Fly The Coop with me, do what they all say "Like and Subscribe".

Cemetery, Medicare, Horse Bells, Fireworks, and Tears (I’m all over the place)
I’m all over the place today. Grief after 3 weeks and 3 day since my husband passed. His grave is as dreary as my broken heart. But around me are horses, bells, singing, kids laughing, ice skating’ and later fireworks!

Two weeks since my husband of 48 1/2 years passed away. I normally cook a turkey for Thanksgiving, but this year I got a frozen dinner. I chose to be alone this year, since it’s been at least 50 years of spending every Thanksgiving with my man. I’m so lost and don’t really know what I’m supposed to do now. So I decided to make a video and so happy you joined me on this new journey. #campervancu...

The answer is actually not a formula, it’s what ever you need. There are many videos on Retirement Planning, so these are not going into that type of detail. If you are planning on one day being able to retire, there will be some tips for you and even some for those who have already retired.

How can a dead mouse smell that bad?
I pray that he is with God now and forever waiting on you to join him with the Lord. God bless you and your broken heart. I know it is painful but your love for your husband is wonderful. May you be enveloped by God’s Holy comfort and presence.
Things will work out over time. God bless you ♥️✝️♥️
Hear from pretirement days and more. 🙏may god keep you threw this hard time ❤
Trisha ❤️ My sincere condolences on your loss, beautiful woman. 🙏 I have been a widow for almost 8 years. I know exactly what you are going through. The Lord spoke to me three days after my husband died. I had just taken a shower and just sobbed like I have never cried before and the pain was soooo deep. I had never, ever felt so much pain inside my heart as I did when he died. Its almost unbearable. As I walked down the hall with a towel wrapped around me, I felt the area around my heart get warm and I heard a soft voice in my heart and in my ear and He said, "I know you are going through the storm, and it will get worse. I need you to bear with me, I need you to hold on. I am going to move my mighty hand and show certain people, that I am God". At first Trisha I thought I was losing my mind. That the pain and the grief were too much for my brain and body to handle and maybe I was going insane. I didnt understand what it meant until years later. He was right, the storm DID get worse. There were some days that I almost felt like I wouldn't survive. I just kept turning to Jesus. He was the only one that truly understood what I was feeling. But He began to bring me others that ALSO understood. Women and men. All people that have experienced the pain that I was feeling. All widowed. I started a group that He told me to start. An event group to get them out of their houses and back out into the community with people that knew what they were going through. I did it for almost 3 years. To see the smiles and the joy from what I was doing was a blessing straight from God. Your grief is just as precious and like gold as was/is your love for your husband. It is totally "your own" and so special and beautiful and unique. People do not realize the beauty inside of the grief because they dont understand it or have not experienced it. I am already loving you as a my "sister" in the Lord and will continue to follow you as your own journey takes it path. If you havent already, please look up Griefshare. It is a biblically based support group for the loss of any loved one. Griefshare, along with Jesus saved me from myself and the sorrow that lasted for so many years. Its an amazing program and I learned so much about the "why's" and the what now's and the "who am I's" from griefshare and the Lord above. In His perfect timing you will begin to heal. It cant be rushed, it cant just "go away" like some will try to tell us. Look on facebook and see if there are any "local" widows/widowers groups that meet up monthly. A lot of churches are beginning to do them as well. I love you, and you already know He loves you. And I will be praying for you daily. 🙏❤️ Thank you Jesus for what I know you are going to do for your precious daughter, Trisha. PS. I learned one thing very quickly of the journey. If all you could do is "brush your teeth" for that one particular day?? That there is HOPE and its going to be alright. God still has a good plan for you. He will give you your "purpose" as you pray. Look up the song by Ryan Ellis (contemporary Christian artist) Gonna be alright. And Heart of the Father. Music was Pinnacle in my own healing. God bless honey. ❤️
You can't see it right now, but it'll slowly get better. You never forget him, of course, but the Lord heals your broken heart. ❤
Your videos should be -Real Talk with Trisha
I am so sorry for your loss. I am also grieving the loss of my love- although he is still living. He was diagnosed almost 2 1/2 years ago with Lewy Body Dementia. I m also trying to find who I am and where my future is going. I am starting therapy this week Have you thought about keeping a journal of your feelings,your goals and inspirations? I don’t know if my body will cooperate but I’d like to take a line dancing course I’m in northwest metro Atlanta Ga- where are you located? I never learned how to sew
I'm so sorry for your loss & I understand. I felt like this, too, but just take one day at a time. Just go with how you feel each day. Take it easy & get lots of rest when you can. Eat a little to keep up your strength. It's going to be okay; it'll just take a little time. You come on your channel anytime you want to talk. 🙏❤
I was married for 29 yrs & have been widowed for 23 yrs now. ❤
Stay clear of Medicare advantage plans. They suck. People now refer to them as Medicre disadvantage plans. Just get Medicare part A and B and then add a supplemental policy from a company like Blue Cross Blue shield They will have plans which include some dental and eyes. You may pay more for your premium but as we age our medical bills can be astronomical, and you will need to have the most excellent coverage, so if you can afford to pay a little more, do so. Your plate is full right now. Make lists and stay focused on crossing things off daily. Pat yourself on the back for each thing you accomplish on your own. You are stronger than you know. Cry all you want but then get on with it. Visit a salon and have your hair , nails and make up done. You will feel 100 percent better. One day at a time is the only way to do it. PS. I would resign from the HOA duties.
I don’t know you, your video popped up on my feed. I’m sorry for your loss. I will subscribe. May God the great physician bring you comfort, love, peace and healing.
I’m so sorry for your loss and I can say I know what you’re going through because my husband of 40 and a half years passed away, this happen in August. I call on Jesus every day. Also I watch something that makes me laugh on tv.
Bless you ❤
❤🙏❤️ Your precious- Our Sincerest Condolences 💐🌹🏵🌻🌼🏵🌹💐
You don't have to apologize it's okay to cry you can cry as much as you want you're grieving right now and my heart and prayers are with you I wish I was there to give you a hug fiorella from Toronto 🇨🇦

Hi from Scotland. I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband. The pain is unbareable but it will ease with time. You never forget but it gets a little less painful. My loss is a little different but it's grief and loss. My ex husband left me age 31 with a little 8 year old, I felt the same. Lost, who was I, what was my purpose. I can tell you it takes time to get the answers. Self healing and love is important, allow yourself to grieve, cry, feel angry. It's ok. Think of things that bring you joy. I moved house and job, went to night school and retrained. Joined recreational classes to meet like minded people. And created a new life. What about helping out at a local charity or hospital. What do you love to do? Gardening, knitting, reading, exercise. The world is your oyster. Your husband would want you to be happy, fulfilled. Book a holiday and get away and explore. It is going to be ok. You will find your place and you are supported here. I am routing for you. You are loved ❤
Bless your heart.❤
May God be with you…..I lost my sweet wonderful husband a year and a half ago. I miss him each and every day still. We were ONE in every way, as long as he was with me I was certain it would all be okay. Now my life is totally changed. I too was alone on Thanksgiving. He was the love of my life for 41 years and treated me special every day. Now, like you I wonder w” what is my purpose” in life. Please know you are not alone! One day at a time, one foot in front of the other. Prayers for you. The pain will always be there but it will lessen.
Not just you hun we are here with you
My mind goes all over the place too hun be compassionate to yourself!
Awww bless you am also taking myself and daughter to a place where my husband had said would take me but God called him before he did. Your husband is so proud of you
I have with time learnt to do things for myself, My husband used to do everything for me i felt so lost without him but God has been so God am still learning through my husband's inspiration.
From one widow to another iam so sorry for your loss and do empathise with you dear. I may not have a clue what losing your best friend may look like for you but i know exactly how it felt and still feels for me. I was widowed in a foreign country with my close blood family over 4000miles away! It can be such a lonely place to be in and such a lonely journey. I can relate and empathise with you. I can't tell you that it's gona be ok because everyday is different. Take each day as it comes and be kind to yourself, you dont owe anyone any explanation for anything or any actions or how you utilise your 'safe' space. My husband (rip) went to heaven a week before our daughter's 2nd Birthday. The month of September feels like a double edges sword for me at times but who am i to question God, blessed be His Name. He has been so faithful and grace sufficient Grieving has no time frame, its not about how you move on but how you move forward with all the memories and allowing yourself to feel how you feel unapologetically Sending you virtual hugs and please don't apologise for anything it's inspiring to hear you talk about your husband God bless you He is the husband to the widows and father to the orphans
Death is an enemy
Beautifully done!!!
I cans see the fire works
Youre a nice lady.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
You’re the same person, just minus him, I’m sorry for your loss ❤
I'm so sorry. I know what it's like to lose someone. Both my mom and Dad. I love Camping.
It’s been six weeks since my husband died and I’m not sure if I can do this by myself. Dealing with all the stress and paperwork. It’s overwhelming to me. Keep doing the videos because they are really helpful to so many others and it helps you to get your thoughts out.
I lost my husband of 55 years six weeks ago. He suffered for the past year with heart failure and kidney failure. He is now at peace. I know what you are going through. He was my best friend and I am lost without him.
I lost my husband of 61years married he passed 18th December last year. He was the love of my life so I relate to how you feel. I still have my moments of sadness and feel lonely 😢but I love the Lord and he gives me peace and strength. God bless you 🙏 ❤️ 🙌 ♥️
I love you so much, Trisha. You re an inspiration, believe it or not!
You are a light and you keep shinning, I never been married and I will never know that pain grief ,But I did loose my Brother on Christmas day 2016 and My Nephew his son i 2022 he had just turned 26 ,So I do know we must remember the great times they were here ,And never stop talking about God as you are so right he is our lives and our Hope ,The world wants us tobe ashamed and many will try to put out our light and we must shine , I hope you get to a point where you can talk to your Husband and laugh with him as he smiles on you and saids how proud he is watching you grow and share he wants to hear your laughter and he too teases about ,Girl do your hair ( Joking of course ) He would remind you of how beautiful you are . Please continue sharing and just being the Love and Light that you are .
Im 75 and have had a few ups and downs in my life including loosing my wife and i can say without doubt that stress is the thing that came closest to killing me not something i would have believed when i was younger.❤
I'm very sorry for your loss. Give it forty days. Talk to him. Tell him good things. Let your family bless you. Go and commune with them. They need to heal with you. Talk to yourself and God for the constant healing vibrations you've always had before. God bless.
So very moved by your video. It almost seems like you are talking to me. May God Bless you with comfort and strength. Remember one day you will be together again in heaven with your husband in eternity. I am not sure how religious you are, but getting involved in your local parish/church community will probably make things better slowly. Take one day at a time. May the Lord be with you everyday.
My condolences 😢
After loosing 2 children I eventually found a Griefshare group at a local church that was so helpful in going through the journey of grief. You can find a group by going onto their website and putting in your zip code and it will show where the closest groups are to you. Remember to focus on who you are in Jesus! Jesus will bring comfort and help guide you through this! He loves you!!!
You went outside and showed us the fireworks, and most people in your situation would have said to heck with the fireworks, so just know you are gonna make it, I promise you, you will get through this.
I know it's not the same as talking to your dear husband, but you do have someone to talk to, you have the Lord first, and you have all of us who are listening. Take care of yourself, sincerely, Donella
I’m 63. I never married or had children. I was an only child and I took care of my patents and grandmother for 17 years until their deaths. Count your blessings. You’ve had a great marriage and wonderful children. Be glad for your blessings and embrace your new life. ❤
❤️
You are such a sweet lady! So very sorry for your tragic loss 😢 Prayers for your healing 🙏🏻❤️
My heart hurts for you. I know how you feel as I am alone…no parents, no brother. I never found “Mr. Right”. Please know there are others who sympathize with you!
