They just had a young man here with his guitar. It was fine until he sang “Fix You”. I had to cover my face and hope nobody noticed me crying. :sob:

I gave up trying to hide when I was crying. If it bothers anyone then tough it’s there problem. I have never really been bothered by what other people think. Not that many people ever see me anyway. I am really focusing on my physio exercises in the hope I can get out of the house and at least join the new bereavement group at our community centre. Whilst I am a shy person my job means I can speak to anyone. I once ended up in conversation with businessmen in a lift at Frankfurt airport going down to the business lounge. My colleagues who had taken the stairs leaving me with their hand luggage couldn’t believe it. Must have been a whole 3 minutes.

It’s strange isn’t it Ron, how the lows come out of nowhere….
Probably the milestone that’s coming up and a whole lot of other triggers……dark nights don’t help either I don’t think…
I’ve just had the 2 month milestone….it’s certainly not getting any easier….I miss him so, so badly….still cry at anything it seems……I’m putting my misery in a box today …or trying to……cos I need to get out of this swamp. Come on Ron……I’m sure Janes sparkly wellies can give us both another kick up the backside to get us out!
Today the sun is out……but I’m trying to keep busy….Sanding down bathroom walls today….oh the fun I have!
I can just picture my Mike watching down on me and wondering what the bloody heck I’m doing! And he would be telling me I’m doing it wrong! How I wish I could have him here telling me how to do it….
We don’t realise what we had till it’s gone…that’s for sure……:broken_heart:

2 months is no time at all. Its been 6 months for me but still feels more recent than that. I wasn’t even able to focus on speaking about it let alone join a group.
Hang in there - we are here for you.
Ron - hope you are rising out if the swamp.

:heart:

Back from the Dentist there were a few tears but both him and his nurse were very kind to me, all in all it wasn’t as bad as I had feared. I think Ray would be proud of me as he knew how terrified I am about the dentist

It was this week last year that we held my wife’s funeral, I thought I would be ok and then inadvertently booked to go to my first solo gig on the Monday, which was the day it was held…

Enjoyed the concert, in the main, but the past couple of days have been up to much knees in the swamp with concrete boots on, not sure how I getting out of this one…

Hi the same happened to me in July when I had my check up.
We used to both go together.
When I had to ask them to remove my Sam’s name from their books I almost collapsed.
I don’t know how I managed to get down their
Stairs as I couldn’t see for tears
Well done it is so hard.
Love Doreen x
