what next?

1 minute read time.

My husband died on 14th November and although I have my good and bad days I am coming slowly to terms with it.  The problems I am now having relate ' to being own my own'.  Last night I had a financial adviser round and although money isn't a problem at the moment as I am still working the problem will be when I retire. Also I am having problems with my electrics.  Steve would have sorted it straight away and my brother, god bless him, did try but it looks like I will have to call out an electrician.  Not a big problem some might say but when you have had someone fixing these problems for 37 years I feel it is. There are other things I have to get to grip with- like where are all the time switches? especially those for the garden lights and everthing else that he used to do and I never got involved with.  Gosh how I reget it now.  Still are they really important? I read a lovely poem in the paper today and I would like to share it with you.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

    Dear Stacey - don't be too hard on yourself, it took my Mum a long time to get to grips with the things my dad did. Remember, each time you deal with something, it's another small milestone. Love and hugs XXX

    I know what you mean about not knowing where to start -- at least a neighbour + my son sorted out the car which had to go as I dont drive -- but as for electrics + gardening it will be a nightmare. Love to everyone finding it hard like me xx
