Helene Wimmert left a comment for Rivkah Afflitto"hi, yes it is hard not driving. I do have my license, but I just don't drive. When we lived on SI we lived near the train, so when I worked I walked to the train station. Living out here it is a little harder, but my sons take me shopping…"

Helene Wimmert left a comment for Rivkah Afflitto"Hi Rivkah, I lived in Huguenot right around the corner from Tottenville High School. Too bad I moved away from there so we could have met. Most of my friends from SI don't talk to me anymore, I don't know if it is because I moved to NJ or…"

- Hi Helene...My name is Roberta (Rivkah) from Staten Island. Where did you live on SI? My husband passed away suddenly in October, I am still in shock, but am trying to get by day by day, keeping busy. I am a newly retired teacher. I have 2 grown sons & 2 daughters in law. I love movies & dining out, reading, taking walks, good conversation. Write back, if you would like to communicate.

- I live in Annadale. My sons are both teachers at Tottenville HS & went there as well...It's true, there are certain people I stopped hearing from; my bereavement counselor says women feel uncomfortable around widows. I keep busy as everyone says to do with lectures, classes, tutoring, reading etc, but I miss my husband so deeply, the conversations, the little jokes, sharing walks, movies, little trips together, etc. etc....nothing feels the same & you're right, time doesn't help...my older son had a degree in communications, tried to get jobs then went back to school for education...it would be nice if you lived in Huegonot, somehow I have some single friends who don't like to do much. i don't get it. Anyway, I'm here if you need to "talk". Do you ever get back to Staten Island?

- How do you manage w/o driving, if you don't mind me asking. I drive on SI, Brooklyn & as far as Woodbridge, NJ. In fact my older son lives in Springfield, NJ & I need to try to drive there myself...My older son teaches film production, my younger one phys. ed & health ed.. They are both Mr. Afflitto : ) My younger one is also a dean...Congratulations on the graduation, Luiginos is 5 minutes from my house!! You must feel sad having a party w/o your husband. I find it hard to experience any joyful moments w/o mine, even though I have lots to be thankful for...where did you grow up, Helene? I grew up in Brooklyn, coney island area, Lincoln High School. Stay well, Roberta

- It's good that you live near shopping. It sounds like you have good sons, like me Thank G-d for that! They have never missed a day calling me. Pesach will be difficult w/o my husband in his usual chair. Also his birthday is coming up in May, I, too cry sometimes when it would be unexpected, the loss & emptiness is still excruciating. I keep very busy, but I don't really enjoy anything...What are you doing for the holiday? The kids will be here the second night...Stay well, have a good weekend (as much as you can)...Roberta

- Going through events, even nice ones is so difficult now.Sorry Passover was bad for you, my kids were here, but obviously someone was sorely missed...try to put on a "good face" for your son, he deserves to enjoy his special day...we are preparing for the arrival of my 1st grandchild in Aug. & G-d forgive me, I feel like I'm going through the motions of being happy, can't feel it deep down, if my husband was here, we'd be ecstatic, dancing & singing & enjoying the idea of a new baby!...I also have my mom in law (92) who is not bad for her age but difficult to deal with, not considerate...do you have dealings with your husband's family?...Please try to enjoy the party as best you can for your kids' sake. Let me know how it goes...Roberta
