Loss of husband

@Cathphil thats really lovely :heart_eyes:
Id love to take our 3 dogs but it would be chaotic.
Yes , i dont want to chat to people outside either. I think ill just go in. Let his brother do the chatting.
I dont feel like talking to anyone, hence not wanting to go to the wake.
It might change tomorrow but this pain in my heartā€¦ is in my throat tooā€¦ cant actually find the words for people.
Nick worked for the land registry for 33 years, plus he had a lot of friends so a lot of people will be going xx

I didnā€™t chat to anyone outside I got there early and sat inside in fact people told me afterwards a lot of people thought I wasnā€™t there.Just do what feels right for you on the day .I was in my own world and not thinking about anyone else really.

It will be a very difficult day for you tomorrow and I will be thinking of you. I dont remember much of my husbandā€™s funeral, it was all a blur and unreal. I visit my husbandā€™s grave every other day and talk to him, but I always feel so very sad when I leave his grave. I nursed him for 2 years and people tell me that I couldnā€™t have done anymore. On the day when he died, after 3 weeks in hospital, I left him at 5 pm (I didnā€™t know that he was coming to the end) and told him I was coming back the next day. At 7pm I got a phone call from the hospital to come quickly and I got there 30 minutes before he died. If only I hadnt gone home at 5pm but I was so exhausted ! It will haunt me for the rest of my life. I held his hand, but I dont know whether he knew I was there.
I will never get over this and once I have dealt with his paperwork and put everything in order I dont care whether I live or die. I am sorry but that is how I feel.

Aww thats so sad :disappointed:
You looked after him for 2 yearsā€¦ he knew that.
Please be kind to yourself xxx

Everyone said it will be a blur :sleepy:

Nicks mum died when she was only 59 of a stroke, 2004. He told me he was crying in his bedroom one day and asked if she was with him. The light started flickering.

Monday i was crying :cry: and the lamp in our livingroom started flickeringā€¦ he was definitely with me :heart:

He will be with you tomorrow, too, as will everyone else attending. Deep breaths, and cry as much as you like because thatā€™s what a funeral is for. Thinking of you x :people_hugging:

I must admit I was very sceptical about signs. Mind you, it didnā€™t stop my wondering or wanting one.

Well now, I have had some.

It has included certain music playing st times when I was very upset and struggling. This has happened too often to be coincidental.
