Kecks and platform shoes. And one of those Afghan coats that smelt of yaks. As my mum would say, ‘she’s no better than she ought to be.’

Hi Ron
My mam used to say to me if wanted more to
Eat your eyes are bigger than your belly.
Then if I asked her where she was going
she would say to balkadidy and back to see how
Far it is.No idea where or if it is actually a place.
Or if my brother and I had misbehaved she would say if I come over there you’ll wonder what cuddys kicked you ???

Morning every one
The dreaded weekend is upon me again.
I have hardly shut my eyes last night and look and feel like a zombie this morning.
I could barely get out of bed this morning. and finally rallied/ forced myself up at 10-30.
Still sitting here drinking coffee.
Can someone come round and crack the whip.I had company yesterday afternoon for a few hours and a nice long chat on the phone last night.
It helps a bit .
I just can’t see me getting through another day
The way I feel just now.
I will of course I was so moved by Jo’s description of how she would fight on in her beloved husband’s name as he had fought on so bravely.
I will do my very best also in my Sam’s name.
He was a fighter and never gave up and despite his many horrible health conditions he just got on with his life our life.
That is what I miss his love his strength his absolute determination his company
This of course does not stop me feeling just
so very low and dreadful.
I think I need the ropes guys to drag me up because I feel I am sinking .
I will be again covering the clocks.
Sorry to moan.

Hi rajah
Thanks for your message.
I have four birthday cards to send this month and my name only on them
I have considered putting my Sam’s name on
Them as well as he would have wished them a happy birthday if he was here.
Do you think people would think it is not a nice thing to do . ??
Am I being morbid??
We have the Xmas cards to face, always was my job Sam put the stamps.
I hope you can have a better day.
Love and comfort Doreen x

Sending you a hug

So sorry.
I understand.
I went out this afternoon to do a bit of shopping.
I saw quite a few men by themselves or with a partner.
They were about my husband’s age and older.
I kept on thinking ‘Why are you here and he is not?’.
Home again and will try to distract myself.

Oh Rosie jack
How horrible for you .I feel for you and I know your grief is overwhelming.
When you love someone so much it really really
hurts.
It more than hurts because we realise these
Beloved people are never coming back.
Agony.
I know what you mean about couples.
We all were once couples and I feel angry and
jealous I suppose.
I feel conspicuous and I never did before I wonder if people are looking at me and commenting.
I wondered what the significance of the feathers
was for you.
Hope it’s not too painful.
I don’t know to cope or if I ever will and I think now what is the point, is there a point to all of this?
I know and understand we are all suffering on here and thank goodness for the posts.
I can only hope we can somehow get some sort of ??? I don’t know peace while continuing
to love and miss the love of our lives.
Thinking of you. Doreen x
