When my husband died suddenly and unexpectedly on Christmas Eve I was inundated with messages of support some from people I hadn’t heard from in ages. I was amazed at the number of people that turned up to his funeral even in one case a childhood sweetheart of his which was weird. Now I know this is a common tale but needless to say everyone has melted away including members of my own family. I now realise that for many of those people it really was the drama that got them all going, and now the drama is over it’s business as usual for them. Part of me wishes I could have a re-run of the funeral and I could stand at the door of the chapel telling half of them to get lost. It makes me sad because I know that already to them my husband is gone and forgotten which nearly kills me. Like most people on this site I just don’t know what to do with myself anymore, I’m glad when the evening comes as it’s one more day over and done with. I think someone else said this on here somewhere but I feel like the grief is now sinking into my bones. Thanks for listening.
