People can’t possibly understand what its like to lose a partner, unless they’ve been in you’re exact situation and to be honest we cannot expect them to.
Grief makes us super sensitive to what people say , making an off-the-cuff remark feel like a slight and not the way it was intended.
Its good to talk with the right people, as not everyone can or want to handle someone elses feelings.
Sooner or later you learn not to expect too much from other people and learn to stand on your own two feet again. The anger dissipates and you suddenly remember that you can be your own person again.

Very true. I haven’t seen you post before so if you are happy to share your first name it would be great. But no obligation.
Kind regards,
Siobhan

Evening all. Thanks for your encouragement, I made it to my cousins and back in one piece.
Jane lovely to see you posting again. Hope things are going ok. My husband had that blood test in the wrist thing. I think it’s something to do with checking how much carbon dioxide you have I. Your blood. They had to have 5 goes doing it as they kept missing the vein. He didn’t say a word just let them get on with it. He was so very brave always.
Ron I have tied a rope to a tree and dropped it into the swamp. Not sure I’ve got the strength to pull you out myself but if you can pull on the rope we’ll get you out.
You are such a support to all (support as in help not truss 
)
It’s 22 weeks for me. Can’t believe it. Jo we’ve both come a long way since the earlier posts after a few weeks. We’re both still hanging on.
Sorry I’ve got an awful memory so it would be really helpful to me if people put their names at the end of their posts if possible. Well Ron I know who you are anyway.
Sending a big hug to all who need it.

Well done Lucy on getting to your cousins and back. I don’t like going to places by myself and I hate driving in the dark.

So glad you made it!
If you scroll back a bit I have done a list of most names if that helps. But I am like you that I can’t keep track of everyone’s names. I wrote them down but still have different people posting. Which is great but names aren’t there.
Wishing everyone a good sleep or enough as I know it’s tough.
Cheers

Welcome Hugh.
Ron I’m one month away from 6 months. Don’t know how I feel other than so lonely. I miss my darling so much.
Being here with others who know how it feels is so good.
We don’t have to pretend everything is ok.
Monday and Tuesday are my worst days of the week as I don’t have any plans. I always feel positive I. The evening then the morning comes and I can’t concentrate on anything. Can’t watch TV or read so I just do housework or cry. I keep thinking each Monday will be better but it’s not.
Siobhan thanks I’ll take a copy and remember if I can who’s who.

Just a thought,wouldn’t it be amazing if it was possible to all get together and take over a bar/restaurant for just one night could you imagine the chaos,Jane and I would end up in a jail cell,the rest would be scrabbling about for bail money,I can dream.xx

Has anyone else ever been asked to leave a restaurant apart from me and a couple of girl friends? We were making too much noise.
