On Wed I said goodbye

Less than one minute read time.

Well on Wednesday afternoon I said goodbye to the love of my life,it was a beautiful day and the sun was shining but inside I was empty. After my first marriage ended I vowed I would never marry again as it had been the worst years of my life and I thought I would never feel safe with another man then along came Tom 18years older than me and life suddenly became worth living we had 21 years together 8 of them as man and wife  and I couldn't have been happier until that day 19 months ago when Tom was diagnosed with terminal oesophagus cancer.Now I have to learn to live without him not being able to speak to him or touch him again.People tell me it will get easier in time but at the moment I seriously doubt it but time will tell.Till we meet again Tom I will love you for ever.

    Hi Marianne I am so sorry for your loss and I wish you all the best.

    Your story is so very similar to mine. Second marriage to an older man and the love of your life.

    Take each moment, each day at a time. Look after yourself.

    Don't look too far into the future it will take care of itself!

    You have lots of friends on here and we are available anytime you need to talk.

    Love Julie xx

    Hi Marianne,

    My heart goes out to you on the loss of your darling husband...

    In time you will learn to "adapt" to life without your beautiful man (I'm not so sure it gets any easiet!) but just take one day at a time......do whatever it takes to help yourself through this catstrophic time...do what you want to do - not what other people expect you to do....

    Take care of yourself, love Ann xx

    Hello my dear

    I say farewell to Tom too - a fellow traveller with Jonathan and I.  You will feel that nothing can comfort you now -  that nothing will fill the void.  But the support of friends does help and so I send you all the support that I can and I reach out over cyber space and return to you all fellowship and humanity you have shown to me.  

    All my love,

    Grace xx

    I don't know what to say. I don't know how you feel. I hope that you have as much support as you need and that you have some special friends to hold your hand and keep you sane. With love.
