im happy so why am i feeling so guilty xx

1 minute read time.

I have not been on here for a while,

Maybe a good thing as life is moving on, im putting the pain and heartbreak behind me, work is just fab ,ive gained so much confidence and my abilites are growing daily, my patients are well looked after and i am a diff person now, cancer and losing ju brought me to my knees ,i saw no way out but i have proved thats not the case ,

Do not get me wrong i will always love ju, he is forever in my heart and in our children everyday i see part of him in them, and i can now smile when i see that instead of crying,

I have as some of you know met a lovely man ,we are taking things as they come , he treats me so well, spoils me rotten ,my house looks like a florist ,luckily my kids help eat all the chocs he buys or id be huge by now ,he is patient and kind and gentle ,just as ju was , and im very happy i have a permanent smile on my face, so why am i feeling so guitly ? well i wasnt till today , friends reaction has been great, except for the odd few who think its wrong, but i dealt with them very publicly and im glad i did , my kids have met rob and like him very much ,so much so they spent the whole evening being a pain in the bum winding us both up ! and he must like them as has invited not just me out for dinner but them too , i think hes mad ,

I had a phone call from my sister in law earleir and i had planned to tell her but she started talking about ju,s one year anniversary on 10th march and i just couldnt tell her i felt so guilty ,most of you know my inlaws are from hell ! so why am i feeling bad ? ju desperatly wanted me to find love again and to be happy , ive now spent the morning in tears ,which is wrong i know that ,i deserve to be happy but i cant help it , thats why i thought blogging might help xx

    Oh Jenni (((hugs))) , please dont feel sad and guilty. If anyone deserves a second cahnce at happiness then you do, and as you say Ju wanted you to live and love again.

    There is no wrong and right when it comes to life after cancer, moving on does not mean leaving Ju behind, he will still very much be with you as you say in your children and in all the ownderful memories that you have.

    The human heart is an amazing thing, it has the capacity to expand hugely!! There is room for more than one love in our hearts, and just as it did when we went from one child to two ( and worried that we would not love our second and subsequent children because we loved our first so much there seemed to be nothing left) , your heart has room for another lovexx

    No -one is qualified to sit in judgement unless they have walked in your shoes. To lose a brother/sister/parent is heartbreaking, but very different to losing ones life partner. To find love again is wonderful, a true blessing and I am sure that Ju is watching over you and may even have had a hand in sending a special person to take care of you. Your sister in law does not have the right to judge  you, you have had enough heartache for one lifetime.

    You can obviously still mark Ju's anniversary of his passing, it is still an important day for all of you, and iot is wonderful that you have been able to find hope again. I truly hope that you, your children and Rob are very happy, and am delighted that you are able to smile againxx

    Dry those tears, you've cried too many alreadyxx

    love and ((hugs)) Sharonxx

    Hi Jenni..I can only echo what the above people have already said...Don.t feel guilty for being happy..if you are happy your children will be happy to ...no one can tell you how to live your life ...we all have to move on and your time has come ..that does.nt mean you love Ju any less... as he will always be in your heart...but you have the rest of your life ahead of you ...we sometimes only get one chance to find happiness...you have got another chance for you and your children ...take it ...and i.m sure your inlaws would not want you or your children to be on your own ...nor i.m sure would Ju....Take care and best wishes....John....x

    Hi Jenni

    You inlaw will have something to say for sure but they are not the people you have to worry about all you need to worry about is you and the kids . Ju would have wanted you and the kids to be happy and it was lovely to read the start of this blog about you doing well in your job and being happy with Rob ,the fact that the kids are included goes a long way in my eye to the kind of man that Rob is .

    And my thinking is that Ju sent him your way to return your faith in life and love we all know that Ju will be for ever in your heart  the heart has a way of fitting in new love it doesn't mean we stop loving someone to fit in a new love

    much love and lots of hugs now dry them eyes we your mac family are right beside you with big smile as we all know we share in each other happiness xxxx
