I cry frequently and not necessarily at home. If walk round and something reminds me of Hazel I’ll have a few tears. It’s part of the grief we have to pay for the love we have. Take care of yourself and my thoughts are with you

Think we all need a break at some time, just to re collect. Sometimes you don’t need work as when losing someone there’s so much to do. In fact going to work possibly be easier depending on what you do.
I’ve found that I’m actually quite scared of going to some places because of the memories. I know I’m being a coward but at the moment I just can’t face it. X

you are not a coward,i think we are trying to protect ourselves till we are ready,for me its not so much memories,i get comfort from happy days,but its people,the ones who crowd your space,thinking that "kind words and hugs "help. all it does for me is bring tears,i prefer,a knowing nod/thumbs up/down,that i can respond too, and then make conversation at my pace…or not. x

My Blaise was a great trumpet player, he always wanted to teach me how to play but I never had the time. Well I’ve got far too much free time now so I’m going to have a go. God help the poor neighbours.
Take care everyone, xx

I don’t think it matters, what does matter is you do the right thing for you. We all very different, so we will react differently to grief. Don’t think of yourself as a coward if you not ready. You get there in the end, hopefully we all do.
