Kens loss

I lost my beautiful wife on the 4th February this year to covid we have been together for 42 years married for 38 years this july we have 5 children 4 boys 1 girl who are all grown up and have partners and have their own home and have beautiful children that we love me and my mo had plans to tour around Scotland Wales and the south coast in our motorhome and tour Europe for 3 months next year. Mo was our rock our world and my best friend i go to mos grave every morning and at night to light her candles i sit at the grave with her talking and playing our music and i cry all the time then come home to an empty house go to bed talk to her picture she had a beautiful infectious smile that would light up any bad day you was having and you would say to yourself today is going to be a good day i miss her so so much but life is to short and i will go away in our motorhome take her pictures with me because i know she will be at my side every day so if you had plans with you loved one do it they would want you to do it i hope this has helped someone who is going through the same as myself xx

I just wish I could go back to the places my Ron and me visited but I can’t. I don’t ever want to go back to those holiday destinations ever again. I can’t envisage it either with friends or by myself. I can only just about cope with going to the supermarket without him.

I know what you mean. There were places we loved to go, just for quiet time together. I don’t think I can ever go back again, which is a shame because they were beautiful places.

I understand what what your saying but when we lose the one we love and have been with them for most of our lives we have our other loved ones sons daughters grandchildren inlaws who are all grieving at the sad loss i lost my mum and dad in the space of 13 months in my early twenties i still miss them but i go to the grave talk to them put fresh flowers on just i do with my wife mo i go have my dinner at my wifes grave and i know thats were she waits for me to join her when my time comes to be with her again i have to be strong when am with my children like they try to be strong for me they tell me dad i didn’t think i could get through this but you have been so strong but i know am not its all a show i do it for them they are young but we try to help each other out x

Hi Sheila. I know how you feel. It would break me to go somewhere I had been with Ron for so many years. Even going to the airport without him will be a trial even though he drove me mad because he was always wandering off and we nearly missed the plane a couple of times.
I was just thinking of you today Sheila and I will be writing to you soon on private message. I have just had a busy few days this week. Busy doing nothing as they say.
Have a good night if you are not already tucked up asleep. Xxx
Mo

Just been up to my mos grave to water her flowers and light the candles played our music we loved to listen to and i broke down crying my eyes out my eyes are sore with all the crying i try to be strong but sometimes it gets the better of me and i know it will take time but there are some lovely people in this world three people that was tending to there family grave come over to talk to me to see if i was ok they stayed with me talking and to reassure me that things will get easier but am not sure about that i miss my mo so much but i will allways her forever xx

Hello Ken

It is difficult and somehow by having all those memories help to push some positivity to go forward.

I lost Ian on 13th March he just returned from Spain in Dec as we were looking to start something new. We were shocked on 1st Feb he had cancer but we were given hope but taken in to hospital on 17 Feb and on 12 th March confirmed he got covid on the ward 8 hours later I had one hour with him he passed away.

The future it felt has been taken but 6 weeks down the line I’m hoping to continue to do what we were hoping to do including travelling around uk as he came from the Shetlands so Scotland was a place we love.

We need to live as much as we can blimey it hurts like mad. Ian told me he wanted me to follow the dream if I can and be happy.

As they say one day at a time. Christina

Hi
I lost my husband 28th April last year after he struggled with a degenerative brain disease and then had covid when he was in the hospice.
I was Davids main carer, im completely lost without him, we have a daughter grace shes 16, im taking her to the seaside next week for his 1 year memorial to try and ease the pain.
I’m so broken without him but I’m trying, we were to young to be separated like this,

Love him always x
