If you loved him, as friend or partner, it makes no difference, grieving is not something we chose, it happens when you loose someone special to you.

That I completely understand, I was miss the messages, even the ones asking me call in at the shop on my way home, coming home and chatting over a glass of wine, doing things together, holidays we were going to have this year and next year when I retire, like me, you will survive, do it for him but especially do it for you!

You will get through it, I did, her two sons and partners, my two children, you have to be strong, yes I cried, yes I needed my daughter to stand by me at the end of the funeral, but I got through it, do it for him, we will always miss them, why wouldn’t we, so do the best you can, I’m sure you will have all the support you need on the day!
