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

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

Hi @Dol1
Regarding writing in birthday cards.
It was my Granddaughters birthday a few days after Rogers funeral. As much as it hurt I had just signed it Granny.
She straightaway said " but you’ve not put Grandad Roger in the card" I asked her if she wanted me to and she said yes.
She’s 26 and was Rogers step granddaughter but she loved him.
So when it was the next one in May I put him in but the next one is in November and it will be nearly 9 months, do I still do it?
Everything becomes a dilemma when they leave us.
I don’t think I will put him on Christmas cards.
Its so hard to know what to do
Love snd hugs

Hi everyone
Regarding the cards and signing.
I feel that with my Sam passing away I have had to take so much off him.
Things I had no idea I would have to do.
Take his name off bank accounts,
building society and all utility bills sell his much prized car every thing, contact the land registry to take his name off the house deeds.
I felt terrible like I was wiping him away.
So I will put his name in his memory on our cards.
Probably sounds daft and when the recipient
gets them will be surprised .
It will hopefully make me feel a bit better.
Love and comfort to all.
