Hi Alan , you don’t know your life will never be as wonderful you do know it will never be the same. My husband of 40 years died in Feb this year my absolute love and soul mate. He died suddenly and I felt cheated, I’m coming out tge other side

I thought like you and I’ve accepted life will never be the same and it hasn’t but boy have I started living again I’ve said yes to everything walked up two mountains been on holidays and taken Graham with me in my heart. I am living life for both of us and that’s what he would want.

Live your life for the love of your wife and make it wonderful.

Well done, Griff. The darkness lifts bit by bit, and a brighter future begins to shine through. Life is good again, just different.
I now wake up each morning, looking forward to what I plan to do that day. I never thought that I’d get to this outlook.
I’d always wanted to explore the Outer Hebrides, but Penny didn’t fancy it. I’ve now done that!

Love the Robin Williams quote. My grief is intensified due to the fact I have a toxic sister that has not helped with the care of my now late mother and is spreading muck about me that I stopped her from seeing my mum. Unbelievable!
