Thank you, very kind

@Jane64 you are doing all that you can. I was 21 when my Dad died. He was 66, I’m the eldest of 4. Our family life wasn’t great - complicated. I vaguely knew Dad was ill because he’d visited me and told me but I can’t remember how soon after he went into hospital but he died within a few days, he had bowel cancer. He was scared of doctors due to his past.
Maybe it will take longer for your son to process this. I will continue to think about you both x

Dan, I would also like to say to you from my previous post. When my husband passed away I was so distraught I said I wouldn’t go to His Funeral. Of course I went, I seemed to get an inner strength, I’m sure you will too. I’m certain I was looked on from above and certain we’ll meet again . Sending hugs. X
I’m still in bed, feeling sorry for myself, been a very long day.
Hugs to all.

Thank you, Jane.
To switch to a lighter, trivial mood for a change…
Does the water ever come in in Southport? I used to come across quite a bit when I lived in Liverpool but the tide was always out!
I might be over that way later in the week so I wondered what the chances were of finally seeing it!

Thank you very much

Good morning everyone. I hope today is better then yesterday.
Patsy i hope you manage to get out of bed and please look after yourself. Dan i know the days head are going to hard, i was scared about Sue’s funeral. As you know i had to organise everything on my own, but everyone said i did her proud and the songs were right. I am sure you will do your lass proud.

The sad thing is i enjoyed talking to the calebrant about Sue. It brought back so many happy memories. I feel like thats what i need to sit down with people over a cup of coffee and talk about Sue. So i am sure Dan that you have done a good job. We all have are doubts about things for the funeral. Take care and please look after yourself.

I hope so x

Hello everyone, I don’t think I can say anything to help anyone today, sorry. This is the second day I’m completely numb, if it’s possible I think I feel worse now. I need to shower, ( haven’t had one since Friday) no energy. But I want you all to know I have all of you in my thoughts. Surely things must get better for us, can’t they?

I hope things improve soon it’s been 6 months since i went out of the house apart from a friend who takes me shopping once a week. I don’t drive so i can’t get out. I m still neglecting housework and showering is such a hard job when you’ve no energy. John’s picture is still facing the wall as i can’t bear to think of what i’ve lost so i don’t look at him. He was my prop and kept me stable and safe. Nothing there now though. I still can’t get up as he’s not there . And it’s been six months apparently course of councilling stops now too. Hasn’t helped at all. Hope you all have a better time and help gets through to you xxx

Thank you for getting back. I understand you totally. I can’t look at photos of my husband, he died before Christmas. Housework is
a beyond me also. I’ve forced myself into shower, I feel a bit better for that. I was going for little walks just to get some air but this week I haven’t, I must try tomorrow. I think I’m like you that loneliness is a big thing. My family are so far away, I do get lovely phone calls. Look after yourself Yewtree, also everyone on this site, we’re all here for each other. X

Yes it does occasionally come in and you maybe lucky to catch seeing it. :grinning:

Whatever you do, you’ll later doubt yourself - that’s what it does to you.

In reality, whatever you do will be just right as it’ll have been done to the best of your ability and with absolute love.
Trust yourself- it’ll go as well as these things ever can.
