Reading what you have written, I know you understand.
You have described what so many of us, myself included, have and are experiencing.
I am not quoting exactly word for word but someone on here wrote being on here made them feel ‘normal’, a part of something again.
I can totally understand and agree with that.
This unwanted and unwelcome world we now inhabit is one we share with each other.
I will be staying, sharing my thoughts, observations, love and hugs.
I hope I will also bring the occasional smile and giggle.
I also want to continue with the Sunday candles. I will make every effort to light them tomorrow but I hope you understand if circumstances take over and I cannot.
I am afraid I will be sharing sadness.
I have no idea when the inevitable will come to my darling boy, Tony but I hope you will allow me and forgive me for sharing it with you.
There are some significant dates coming later on in the year.

I can relate. I spent every evening last night working on replacing my kitchen blind. I finally finished it last night. Today I was thinking I can’t wait to tell Drew (my late husband) about it and he’ll be so proud. Then reality hit & I realised he’s not here anymore.
But I am glad for this group. A friend was trying to be nice and said I am doing things. Or something like that as I can’t remember exactly. I felt like saying yes that may be true but it still doesn’t matter because he’s not here to share them with. And I am still all alone in this house we made a home…
Around this time of night I would be indulging In some risque banter with Jane Ably assisted by Linda and some others, get well soon we miss your humour.
Yes Ron it’s a bit quiet without you and your double entendres (remember Dick Emery …….ooh you are awful…but I like you) .
Linda we are here to support you keeping quiet company with Tony. Sleep well.
Night night all. Thanks for being there on this journey xx
Good morning.
Anyone awake on this dark wet windy miserable morning.
Well my washing dried even without the air dryer. The sun on the conservatory helped yesterday. Dont see much chance today.
This weather really doesn’t help your mood.
Another Sunday. Why do they seem longer than other days?
Xx

Yes Im awake , just.
I must have gone off sraight after my last message about 8pm, I slept until 3.30 and then on and off until about 7.30.
I’m going have to re think the Co-Codamol, they do help the pain, but I need to be able to function
Good morning Nicky
I just read your post from last night.
The remark about living the rest of their lives with us resonated with me.
A couple of weeks ago I was talking with friends and I said the same as you."we were going to spend the rest of our lives together "
It was me who then said, “but he did spend the rest of his life with me”
It hurts so much doesn’t it. But at least they have been spared this pain
Good morning everyone.
I slept like a log for about 7 hours then dozed for 4.
I still feel tired but not the overwhelming tiredness of yesterday
I’m sure I’ve had co-codamol before and theyve not knocked me out like that.
Perhaps its because I’m older.
They did dull the pain but I need to be awake sometimes so I’m going to try to manage without them.
Has anyone else had that problem with them?
Ron, I hear you’re shrinkìng, do you need a smaller bobble wrap suit.
Its a pity Jane wasn’t wearing one.
I’m so glad she’s doing well.
Give her my love when you can
I will say a prayer for her and light a candle for you all in Church this morning.
Good morning all.
Another sad Sunday comes around 25 weeks today for me, I am dreading next week it will be six months,hope everyone slept well,it’s not raining but windy here, have a good a day as possible.

Hi Siobhan
I’m Lisa ….I don’t post all the time but I do come on this forum every day……
It’s early days for me in the loss of my husband……two months today……and my god it’s hard.
But this forum helps get me through…….the support on here and the lovely people are amazing….
Morning all. Good to hear Tony’s had a little to eat .
I’m another who counts the Sundays coming round.
It’s not actually raining here but very dull and gloomy.
I’ve got to visit my cousin today. I’m not looking forward to it as I don’t know the way (my husband always drove) and I’m a bit nervous but need to rely on the sat nav and hope for the best.
Hope everyone has as good a day as possible and catch up with you all later
Love Lucy x
@Lisaj2019 thanks for letting me know your real first name. This group is great. Glad you read the forum too and join in when you want.
Morning everyone I actually slept some last night. Maybe it’s the sheer exhaustion of not sleeping well for days. I stayed up til 1230am reading trying to make sure I only turned the light out when really tired. Still it doesn’t make me feel much better.
Am trying to get to church. If I do I will light a candle for all. Plus if you can keep positive thoughts for my friends grandson in the states. He’s only about 10 a d had surgery last night to remove his tonsils a d a tumour. They aren’t sure if it’s cancerous or not.
