Well my Sunday has been different! The pond - a large natural one - is completely overgrown with weed. John used to remove it with a throwing-rake, so I thought Iād have a go. Fell over three times, ended up covered in stinking black mud, and got the rake stuck in weed in the middle of the pond. But it was a distraction!

I went to Church then out with our sons. 11 weeks today for me. Had a good day then home to tears, how can we cope with this loss for years to come?
Iām not with family or friends every weekend. Some I spend on my own but going to Church Sunday morning helps. By the time Iāve had coffee and a chat with others there then gone to Waitrose for my shopping itās almost half the day gone.

Been an awkward one today, well more than others, you see it is another 4th of a month, always hit hard, but this one was worse for some reason, I just donāt know why , fortunately my daughter called to see if I wanted to do something as she just knows when I struggle, donāt know how, but anyway, she and the grandkids took me out for something to eat at Cromer, went to amusements, and had icecreams, the kind of day I and Sue used to live having, at the end it turned out āokā until they went home of course , then alone again. It just hurts more when alone as you all are aware

In 2 or 3 weeks Ive hired a motorhome for a week, and will be off to the Derbyshire Peak district for a week exploring the beautiful dales. One day, a group of friends are joining me to experience half a day potholing/caving. We are all old codgers.
I just remembered I hadnt got around to booking somewhere to stay overnight, so Im just doing that today, and Im getting excited just looking!
Im planning to learn a new song today on my flute, which Ive just started to learn.
And the Sun is shining, I bought a new car yesterday.
I do still have sad days, but I had them before she died, but Im determined this Sunday isnt going to be one of them.

I understand.
My husband would bring me a mug or three of tea each morning and we would sit in bed together.
He died suddenly and unexpectedly in March.
It is 23 weeks today.
I too wish my husband would walk into our bedroom and this nightmare was over.
Sending you a very big hug.
Love,
Rose xx

I was really miserable last weekend, and every weekend before.
On days when I see someone or do something useful I feel less sad.
So, I invited people.
Yesterday my nephew and his partner came. He had made the usual offer of anything they could do for help. So I asked him if he would fit a new grabrail for my daughter. He did that, mended my filing cabinet which wouldnāt open and fixed my garden gate.
Today a widowed friend is coming for lunch.
I thought it was time to take people up on the offers they made at the start of this nightmare.
I have done a lot of sitting around feeling sorry for myself. Itās not really possible to take my daughter out as I canāt lift her wheelchair and we live at the top of a very steep hill, so taking her out for a walk is impossible. The only alternative is to invite people to visit. I am more than happy to feed them. I feel happier, my daughter has company instead of just her sad mum. And my friends get a meal. Everyoneās a winner.
Sometimes those offers of help at the beginning are genuine. I have found that I only had to ask.
