I am 55 years old, been a horse trainer most of my working life, married to a cutting horse trainer for 20 years. I lost my husband 2 years ago to a heart attack. He was fit and lean, but a heavy smoker and a workaholic. Had a heart attack one day, I rushed him to the hospital, they stabilized him, sent him home the next morning, I found him dead on the bathroom floor that night. Major shock of my life, I took losing him very hard, I still have not accepted it.
I continued to train horses for the past couple years, but also studied for my real estate license, bad time for that. But the horses go home in the winter so wanted something else for income. Still hoping for that!
I had always been into exercise and worked out every morning, after my husband died I lost all motivation to do much of anything. I lost my mother a few months later and that added to the feeling of loss. Also went through a flood and was evacuated 5 months after my husband died. I remember thinking, how much more can I take, as I watched the flood waters raging under my house, taking horse fences and equipment with it. Ended up with adrenal exhaustion, from all the stress and shock. That alone caused a 30 pound weight gain, all I wanted to do was sleep and barely had the energy to get out and feed the horses by 11 in the morning, that took too much energy, I would come back in for a break and fall asleep again. I have never felt so "dead' in my life, I truly felt like I just had not stopped breathing yet, but I might as well have.
Thanks to a great naturopath, I am on the right meds and I am recovering from adrenal exhaustion, it has taken over a year to get to this point, to where I actually have the energy to walk out to the barn.
I am a grandmother, and I love to have the kids over, I have two Chihuahuas and two German Shepherds, I know THEY are really looking forward to taking those long hikes out on the desert again, that used to be a morning ritual, just took our first one last week since 2005. Still riding horses, for other people, and still hoping that real estate picks up~
