i dont know i often voice that i cant understand why it wasnt a bad person instead of Chip. But then maybe it is right they are taken for a reason. Yes Chip was lovely caring generous and always ready to help someone in need x

You look about 27 in your photo. X

Sixty thats no age. Was Chip an ex serviceman? Often servicemen have nicknames that they keep.
Iâm not telling what mine was.
It is a very good photo, and 47 youâre still a kitten too young to be dealing with all this grieving shit. Did Chip die from Covid?

no he wasnât in the service as much as he wanted to. you are going to have to tell me now. no chip had been on and off poorly for the last 12 months he was on the road to recovery then on the 9th February he had a cardiac arrest he put up one hell of a fight bless him but there was too many things wrong to save him his lungs were filling his heart was only working 34% and his kidneys were giving up. I am so proud of him for the fight he gave. I am young but there are younger then me dealing with this kind of sadness however i do feel cheated and dont know what my future holds now. tell me about your wife?
i have just read through the posts a picnic sounds lovely. We are big on family and we often had get together s chip was the funny man the karaoke singer the one to be at a party with. I would love to celebrate his life but at the moment i cant bring myself to think of any kind of gathering with out chip. I would feel like im leaving him out does that make sense. I found the 1st few weeks easier to cope with i was like how come im not grieving i loved that man so much. Time is meant to heal. im not sure about that the further along i get the more im grieving im caring a massive heavy weight of sorrow around with me constantly. i was positive at the beginning dishing out advice and now i wish i could take my own advice. truly there is no way to help anyone through this all we can do is listen and do the best we can for each other. Alex i hope you are ok we dont seem to be chatting as much as we were havent heard from Mrs colt either xx

My husband died suddenly in hospital just over 2 weeks ago and the lockdown just makes things so much worse, only 15 people allowed at graveside. Like you we will be holding a celebration of my husbandâs life when the time is right, which I think is a lovely thing to do. Stay strong
