    Sent you a P.M. last night, hope you got it.

    You will manage through today Stacey as it is the last thing you can do for Steve. Lean on family and friends and you will get through together. I'll be thinking of you all day. Big hug and much love to you.

    This is something those of us have not experienced could not possibly comment on.

    All I will say is that I hope your love for Steve will somehow carry you through the day.  

    I wish you the strength to get through the tough times until you reach that place where thoughts of your husband make you smile again instead of cry.

    Peace be the journey Steve.

    Love & Strength

    Do not stand at my grave and weep,

    I am not there, I do not sleep.

    I am in a thousand winds that blow,

    I am the softly falling snow.

    I am the gentle showers of rain,

    I am the fields of ripening grain.

    I am in the morning hush,

    I am in the graceful rush

    Of beautiful birds in circling flight,

    I am the starshine of the night.

    I am in the flowers that bloom,

    I am in a quiet room.

    I am in the birds that sing,

    I am in each lovely thing.

    Do not stand at my grave and cry,

    I am not there. I do not die.

    Hi Stacey,

    When my partner died 15 years ago the funeral was all a blur, it felt like I was standing on the outside of a bubble and like you I didnt think that I could do it, even to the point of telling my mum I had gone into labour (was 7 and a half months pregnant) but I did and was glad after that I had, it was lovely to see all these people who had known and thought a lot of Jimmie and hear them talk about him and I took a great deal of comfort from this. Just remember the love you had for each other and memories can never be taken away from you.

    take care hun love Terri xxx
