Today I said goodbye to my beautiful wife, 23 years married and 25 years together.
.
My wife, my lover, my best friend, my everything - I managed to hold together and read my eulogy myself, my daughter read a poem and my nephew read a Shakespeare sonnet …… I know she would have been touched !
We have some absolutely lovely friends and family but some others are just so bloody ignorant and thoughtless it defies belief
“ Oh well I guess you’re going to get used to living alone now” says my uncle …… Cheers, thanks for reminding me about that …… I’d almost forgotten about that for 30 seconds
Still he got a free cuppa and a sandwich so he’s happy ……,
@Scarl34 . I know what you mean, once I’ve stopped dreading Christmas I can start dreading the new year, then what?
Dreaded holidays, sunny days, life in general, it’s all agony.
That’s very depressing, I must try and be a bit more cheerful and appreciate kind friends, family, pets, sunny days, walks, here’s hoping for a bit of relief, take care x
We won’t make things any easier by resenting those that are actively celebrating Christmas.
I have two young grandchildren (my grandson 7 years and my granddaughter 18 months and am going to be spend Christmas with my family, to try and find a way forward the best that I can but also get some down time between Christmas and New Year too.
If I don’t do this then her MSA has taken two lives for the price of one
@cat_fan im so glad you were able to read your wifes eulogy she would be so proud of you.
Family and friends are what is going to help us through this sad time. Also like you said some people are thoughtless and its such a shame they are like that.
Christmas is coming and this is where family are important as they are there to help us.
It sounds lovely that you are spending Christmas with your famiky and grandchildren and try and find a way forward the best you can. X
@Cat_fan you enjoy. I have been so proud of myself this morning i had to dispose of a dead mouse and i did it. I am absolutely petrified and dave always dealt with anything like that but i did it small steps. My brother messaged me and he said small victories well done. X
