Hi, Mum always had Elvis on in the house and l find it comforting to occasionally play one of her (or mine) cds whilst l’m doing stuff…yes it is a little upsetting but oddly comforting too…Mum also has 3 Elvis clocks and those l can’t remove them yet but her favourite was a wristwatch which has a guitar as a secondhand and that is definitely going nowhere because she wore it everywhere…some things are slightly easier than others but l have to do things when l’m ready and by myself…take care

I am an Elvis fan too 
Triggers to grief can just pop up from no where …I had to copy my car insurance and the word widow on the new policy just lept out from the page ! Then the tears and despair rose up all again…leaving me feeling exhausted once again !

I also loathe the word and the phrase ‘late husband’. He was never late his whole life and often teased for always being early. I loved being my husbands wife. I still am and he is my husband and always will be. Such simple words are like a knife through our already broken hearts.
