feelin better

Less than one minute read time.

Hi all

I have felt a little better of late, i still have the hang ups but are dealing with them.

I met a lady who lost her husband 4 years ago. she is so inspirational and helps many people with promblems and need support, she is totally non-judjmental and makes time for everybody whilst still helping out with children and grandchildren.

I went for lunch with the lady and her friends, it was a first for me without my jim. the only problem being i had a bit of a wobble later in the evening as i felt as if i was leaving jim behind and was scarred as i had'nt thought of him for a few hours' is this "normal".

    Wobbles are a naturaal process, but please don't feel guilty. As the one who has the terminal illness, the last thing i want is my family to stop their lives when I go to wherever. Did they go out for lunch while I was alive?  So, do it after I.ve gone. Did they laugh? So enjoy the joke. Life is for living and they are still there to enjoy it, do not think of me in sorrow, remember the laughs we had, talk about me as if I was just in the next room.

    Time heals is not always completely true because those left sometimes feel they should have done more, but we can only do what we can do. Remember with affection and love>

    Hi Somissed,

    Mike has said it all, the main thing is not to feel guilty, Jim would not have liked that. You look after yourself .

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

    Hi mike,

    Yes mike its true what you say, jim would want me to do the things we did together, his philosophy was life is for the living,but easier said than done.

    Families do miss and grieve for the ones they loved and lost,. the worst time is the evenings when we chewed over the remains of the day, now there's so much time to think of what should have been, like growing old together.

    my heart goes out to you,

    love and hugs to a brave man. x x
