I keep hoping I experience something…a sign ….anything……
I asked him before he passed away, that if there was something else after death would he send me a sign to let me know that he was ok…….I’ve had nothing yet sadly. Mike didn’t believe in anything after death though…he said when I’m gone, I’m gone …but I continue to hope there is something. I need to believe we will be reunited one day with our loved one……

Jane - Pleased to hear your on the mend and will hopefully go home tomorrow.
Tony-Glad to hear your still eating, give your mum a cuddle.
Sorry to all who have struggles this week. I think I used up a year full of tears recently. I am going to collect R’s ashes tomorrow. I don’t know how I will feel. Love and hugs to you all

Jane thats wonderful news, but don’t forget you must still take it easy
Maria, I was really worried when I went to pick Rogers ashes up.
But it was honestly not as bad as I thought.
Sure there were tears at first but once I got him home I was fine.
Good luck. I’ll be thinking of you
Love and hugs

Good evening everyone had my asthma review a stronger inhaler and more tablets. I ended up in tears after seeing one of the district nurses who looked after Ray and her asking how I am coping then the Asthma Nurse asking the same. She said to keep talking about everything and crying is perfectly normal, people have a problem with it that is their problem not mine. Jane I am so pleased this could be your last night on that awful ward, I will keep everything crossed for you.

My husband used to say the same thing!!
Maria - hopefully the people will be kind since they are used to doing these things. It will be ok. I was nervous too but they were lovely. Most of them are still in the box and bag. Not sure what to do but no rush. I made a ring for myself (and daughter) with some of his ashes. Just a thought.
Love

Yes, it does. I sometimes leave the radio on when I go out.

Jane so pleased you are coming home. What a relief.
I’ve had a busy day today. Been out most of the day and had an enjoyable day.
Just sitting here relaxing and a picture of my darling man came up on my phone. Now I can’t stop crying. The thought of not having him here with me is so sad.
I’m not in the swamp just really really sad,
Take care all. Glad Tony enjoyed his salmon

Once I brought Ray home I felt more settled because I knew where he was.

It is a family run business. Only a mile away from my home. They even have a memory night in the local institute and put on refreshments for the families. They do Chrismas carols and a memory tree. It is time R came home now x

I am hoping having him home will give me comfort. I have never needed him so much x

In my sleep deprived mind I have been trying to work out how I am going to manage caring for Katie. She has a stairlift which we can both use if necessary. I was neither awake or asleep and it occurred to me that yes, I can go upstairs and use the remote control to bring her up. But I will not be downstairs to get her from wheelchair to stairlift. If she goes up first I will be stuck at the bottom. It is just like the farmer, chicken, fox and grain crossing the river.
The only solution is that @Ron11 moves in with me until I am mobile.
I will sit on the sofa while he does the garden, shops for chocolate and Bacardi, sorts out my spreadsheets and jet washes my patio. When I have finished with him I will send him onto the swamp. Is that a solution, or what?
But dare I leave him with the unattended ? He might turn it into his bootlegger gin.

I am sorry your good day is ending with sadness. My sad time is when I go to bed, I cry myself to sleep most nights. I have photos all round the house and usually they bring me comfort. Sending you a hug🫂

Hi Lucy
Seems I’m like you
I’ve had an ok day
But tonight…
I’ve realised it’s thinking that does it. Thinking how he was here last year and then he was ill and now he’s gone and I’ll never see him again, ever
So I’ve decided to stop thinking, because it hurts
Distraction is the way forward.
I’m losing myself in a tv series, its not real
But thats the way I’m going now.
I’m pretending.
I don’t know how else to get through this.
Sorry I thought I was out of the swamp, but apparently I’m not

Thanks Jane2 that’s kind. I have photos and videos of my husband I love and they usually make me smile. I have one or two photos where he’s looking straight at me and smiling and I yearn to touch his lovely face again. It’s then the tears come. The loss is so great isn’t it.
Hope you get to sleep ok tonight.
Thanks for your support.

Dear Liz
Sorry you’re in a bad place too. I hope and pray I will be with DH again. I need to believe that.
But you’re right, it’s the not having him here now is
