Go and look at The Thing. It might be a Ferrari, or a huge chocolate fountain.
I had a large covered thing in the shed. It was only a Black & Decker workbench. I was sorely disappointed.
We had chocolate cake for tea.

No, it definitely looks like a concrete mixer. Round thing with a big mouth at the front.
I’m probably the only person in the whole world who doesn’t like chocolate cake.

Thankyou so much @Lisaj2019
Your support is very much appreciated.
Especially when you’re going through such a hard time yourself.
My husband was given a shock diagnosis just after Christmas and died 6 weeks later. So although your husband didn’t last so long. I do know exactly how you feel.
Sending love and a big hug

Hi @Catrin1
You’re not alone.
Since Roger died I’ve gone off all things sweet, including chocolate and chocolate cake.

Hi all you guys
Here I am again .
I have had a difficult day very difficult.
I have tried my best to do chores,throw out stuff
Hard to do.
Take my dog out, chat to neighbours act normally.
Go in the house and cry a lot.
It is coming up to 10-30 again and still cover up the clock.
I can’t get Sam out of my mind as this is the exact time of his passing.
I feel so selfish and needy as I know all of this
Is what we are all going through.
God !!! this is terrible.
I really need the hand holding and support.
My absolute love and support to all of you .

It seems to be the weekends that we suffer the most. Sometimes it all gets too much. It becomes exhausting trying to be cheerful. But we are all in it together. So, here’s my hand, grab it.

It is 1 year ago at 02.30 that my husband Greg lost his battle with cancer after getting told he had 2 weeks to live and he survived 2 weeks and 2 days. Finding it really hard at the moment. Met a friend for a doggy walk and coffee this morning and a robin came for a visit hope that was a sign he is ok. Take care everyone xx

Hello Sharon
I was very sorry to hear of your husband’s passing a year ago.
How painful and dreadful still for you.
I just can’t imagine how anyone copes with
that sort of news and ghastly time frame.
My heart goes out to you.
The support I have had on here including the silly jokes and comedy all helps .
Sending all my love and comfort.

If it wasn’t for being on here and part of this community. I would have thought I was on my own, with this awful sadness and grief. Everyone on here has known true love, found their person and sadly lost them. What we feel is real. We share and support one another. I am truely grateful for the people on here.

Morning everyone. Sending love 
and hugs 
to you all.
I promised myself I wouldn’t inflict my feelings on you any more, but the problem is I’ve got no-one else I can “off load” to.
I know we’re all in the same boat but I think I’ve fallen out of it and I don’t want to swim anymore.
Floods of tears every morning. I’ve tried to stop them but they just come. I lost my lovely Bill on June 26th this year, after almost 10 years of marriage, and I’m feeling worse every day. I loved him so much and feel that most of me went with him that day. All I want to do is sit and watch tv all day, although I know I should be getting on with things like cleaning, washing etc etc. I can’t get into a routine any more. Every time I sort out my evening meal the tears begin again because I remember how Bill used to love cooking and trying out new things and that’s never going to happen again. I exist on ready meals or something simple like fish and chips that I can just stick in the oven for 20 minutes.
I knew losing Bill would be difficult but guess I wasn’t prepared for just how hard it was going to be.
I’m left with a nice house and all the lovely things we bought to make it a home, but without Bill to share them with there doesn’t seem much point. Bill would probably lovingly tell me off for being like this but try as I might I can’t help it, I miss him soooooh much.
Bill’s daughter lives about an hour and a half away so she phones me every evening. I can’t tell her how I feel’ cos although it was her dad it’s different for her and she has her own family. She said, the other evening, “you sound a bit down”. If only she knew. I’d been doing a bit of tidying up in the garden and got upset when I remembered how Bill and I had sat outside filling the pots with bulbs and plants. Some had not survived and I had to empty the remains which totally choked me up 
.
I have to go to a funeral of a very close friend tomorrow - in the same church that Bill’s funeral was held, so I’m not looking forward to that.
I’m so sorry to go on and lower the mood but I think my “get up and go” has “got up and gone” and it feels like it’s never coming back 'cos at the moment I don’t even want it to.

So sorry Harriet.
I totally understand objects, places, activities, etc stirring up memories
that bring tears.
I can do some gardening but some parts of the garden or particular activities bring memories and tears. So I stop and go inside.
Cooking is the same. I have not yet felt able to cook a roast.
I am sure there are many people who understand and experience the same reactions.
It is so hard and upsetting.
We understand. We wish we had the solution for you and ourselves.
As you know, people on this site people are kind and supportive so no apologies needed.
Sending a very big hug,
Rose xx
