My husband hated gardening. Our garden is low maintenance but we have a lot of beautiful hydrangeas and roses. Up to my gardener now. Hydrangeas suffer what my sister in law calls benign neglect. Good luck. That garden looks like it needs a lot if work. Xx.

Sorry not needs a lot if work. TAKES a lot if work. Needs a lot of work sounds as though it is untidy which it certainly is not.

John1066, Thats so beautiful and a lovely garden. I have quite a large garden which I neglected over the last year because hubby was so poorly and up until now I havnt had the heart to do anything to it but last week I thought he would have said ‘get the garden looking nice again’ so off I trotted to local garden centres, bought quite a few plants and now its looking a little better. My arms, legs and back are so sore but it was worth it. I think and hope he would be pleased. Take care and looking forward to the photos when your bulbs bloom. Ann x

Wow together 50 years thats fantastic. My beautiful wife and I met 18.5 years ago and have been lucky to have been retired early 12 years ago.
Doing things they would want us to do…
My wife and the outdoors go together well. Spending a lot of time when she could in the greenhouse or traveling. When she was diagnosed 3.5 years ago, we could not travel abroad any more and Covid affected us all of course. So we biught a 2 berth motorhome and changed for another a year later. It that time we have covered 14,000 miles.
One trip my wifes loves is to go see her sister in south wales (we are near Lytham), we last made the trip in May this year. Ive not been ae to even entre the motorhome since may wife passed on 18 July 23, but we have hardly been at home for thisong at a time, so i thought, i will take her to see her sister in south Wales.
I went in the motorhome and it was all setup by my wife for our next adventure, clean sleeping bags, towels, clothes, toiletries and timned food.
Its really, really hard but Ive set off today and Ive stopped in our usual places for a brew, im stopped just now. Its impossible to understand that so very short a time ago my beautiful wife was in our cozy place with me and now she is here in sprit.
I try not to cry but cant help it. As you say… Im sure my beautiful wife will be smiling, proud and pleased we are going.
Tonight will be hard sleeping in here but I honestly feel her with me in here.

Not sure if that message was for me, Im 63, I promised my beautiful wife that I would not want another person, pur love bond is eternal. People have said to me find someone else but thats not the answer.
Im mot saying thats not the way forward for some people, its just that I gound my true love and had the most happiest of 18.5 years, i just want to be together again soon.

Hi, 11 weeks…where have they gone? Our children have been fantastic, so supportive but they have their own families to take care of and i am so glad they have. I am glad they have the distraction.
The house feels empty, our bed feels like it goes in forever.
We moved here in April with so many plans. Yes i have memories here and he was so excited about changing this and that, making his mark he said. I wish we had never moved.

I have only jut joined this group and your comment resonated with me, who are we when our partner leaves us, a large part who we were has gone too. I think reading comments on this group will help me to understand how grief progresses. Thank you
