Martyn2, I knew that song before, but never read the lyrics till now. Cried buckets when I did. Lovely song. Says everything I should have said a million times to my love, before the end came unexpectedly. Thank you for sharing. Need to go find some tissues now, face a mess.

I’d never heard the Bon Jovi song either but just googled it too. Pass the tissues over someone! We are all very lucky to have had such love in our lives and the old saying always comes to mind, ‘grief is the price we pay for love!’ I send my love to everyone in this group! Xx

I’m so frightened i will forget his voice. Am laying here going through any videos on my phone but its me talking over the action with only background occasional comments by G. Tomorrow he would be bringing me my cards and pressies, even one from Tasha cat, who would lay on my chest and prevent me from looking at anything but her…bless them both. Its so quiet - i even miss his snoring which i spent years moaning about. Im supposed to enjoy my 70th but it will all be a mask of happiness which i will show to the outside world. I’m being self-indulgent laying here typing through tears - sorry. Keep hearing that Eva Cassidy song playing through my head…I Know You By Heart…

Wishing you a reflective birthday Erindoors. We are all wearing masks at the moment, in public, then it is fine to let the mask slip away when you are alone. Feel anything you need to, it’s not self indulgent. It’s honouring the love of your life. You’ll hear his voice better when you close your eyes in the quiet. You did know each other by heart. Try to remember something he did which made you laugh, and allow a smile through your tears. Happy Birthday. He’s close to you still. x

Wishing you a reflective birthday erindoors.remember the good memories that you both have. When it was my gorgeous beautiful fantastic wife sues birthday in April myself daughter and stepson dave went for a meal at our favourite pub in Doncaster. The staff there couldn’t do enough for us as sue was loved by all the staff and refused to let us pay for the meal all the while playing our favourite songs throughout the meal.could feel sue at my side throughout the meal .remember they wouldn’t want us to be sad

You’ll remember his voice. It will come to you in your dreams. You’ll hear it in the voice of a random stranger you happen across or in the character of a television show. You’ll know it in your heart. I’m wishing you a happy birthday, because you deserve it. Thinking about you today.

Sorry for your loss Acehigh. If it helps, then do it. I find music helps me to express my emotions. I play guitar, ( not all that well, to be honest) and I like to sing about how I feel.
In case it is helpful to you, I will mention that I also have a friend who founded a charity called The Swansong Project, which helps people to write their own song about their loss. https://swansongproject.co.uk/
I guess everyone finds their own way.
I love to sing but I’m not that good! Not been able to since loosing my husband! However, I had the radio on yesterday and found myself singing along to a song. A real achievement I feel!
