Hi. SanW.
Now that is so true. Not only do we focus on the whole staircase but the landing at the top. āBaby stepsā, one step at a time, one stair at a time. If we try and rush things and run up the stairs we are in grave danger of a fall. Like everything else of an emotional nature, it will all out in itās own way and time. But facing and accepting the pain and the fact that it will take time can help a lot. Thanks for that. John.

I wish that I could walk a reasonable distance, when I have to attend hospital I always refuse the use of a wheelchair. Stubborn, yes, I am so glad that I didnāt allow Stan to push me, his heart couldnāt have stood the strain. x x x
Yes most definitely especially in our minds x
I think it was because from day one that we met i had always considered my Richard to live longer than me and take care of my funeral, dont know why really as i am -was the younger of the two of us by 5-6 years, and he up till a few months before he died was always the healthy one, i used to mock him, again my warped sense of humour about death that nothing ever happened to him , he had never been in a hospital bed, never had any invasive hospital test, i always had told him you are not human, you havenāt lived unless you have been in a hospital bed, or had a camera up you or down you, again i often would laugh but deep down this was my mechanism talking about death in a jovial way as deep down i am-was terrified of it, still amā¦And with Richard smiling and wanting me to change the subject even that was all part of the humour that i knew he didnāt like the subject of death eitherā¦only the difference was, i could and would talk about it, where he wouldnātā¦

Itās how we get through the day after losing Dad. Baby steps to move forward in this very new world
