I have been paying for Philmore’s mobile for over a year, although I cannot use his mobile at all. I am not good with smartphones (my own handy is very old and has just basic functions). It was straightforward to close the account, but after I closed his account, I started crying, and I felt terrible, although I knew Philmore would understand why I had to close the account. It is over 1 1/2 years since my beloved husband died, and it is not getting easier. I still have to find my way around and try to make sense of everything. I am sending love and hugs to everyone.

When I closed his account a month ago, it was excruciating just placing the call to the carrier. Then a few days later, I grabbed his phone and went to the carrier to transfer my number to his inactive cell and now I feel as if I’m with a big part of him when I use my phone. He was a gamer and would spend quite some time playing on his phone or his laptop. And all his back up photos were transfered during the official switch. I think we ache for them in every possible way even as we deal with their electronics…

Yes, everything like that is painful. 11 months for me this month, and I’m still feeling my way round too; like a blind person being put into an unfamiliar place and being told to get on with it. You just don’t know what direction to take. You’ve come a long way, and should be really proud of yourself for that.

Thank you for your kind comments. I still feel that I am not progressing fast, but my friend also told me she admires how I handle everything. Maybe I am just too hard on myself? One step after another. Next, stop sorting books and DVDs. And more clothes to be picked up.

A beautiful photo of you both. It is 18 months since my husband of 41 years died. Like you my friends think I am doing well but inside I wonder what I have to look forward to.
I have been watching Afterlife with Ricky Gervais a good watch laughed and cried. So true his take on grief- I don’t want to go to places I went with my husband because it wasn’t the place , it was who I was with. His company was what I enjoyed and going with friends is not the same. But I keep going one day at a time.
