Sad and so so tired - Getting through the funeral

Hi Tough Love,  I am so sorry to hear of your wonderful husbands passing, my sincerest condolences to you and all his loved ones. Funerals are always an emotional time and one for someone you have loved and felt loved in return is so much harder for you, your family and friends will know this and I'm sure they will support you through this difficult time, my suggestion is to accept its going to be an emotional day and to tell everyone what an amazing, loving and caring man your husband was and what he meant to you. PS my partner and I are going through what you have been through, I am terminal and we talk about the end and what I wish for her,  what would your husbands wishes be for you. Take care.

Ah Eddie thank you for your kind message.

i am sorry you too are going through this.  It sucks right?!

My husband had a positive attitude throughout and didn’t give up, you made me realise I now need to do the same for him to get through the day.

I understand it is going to be emotional as that is the price we pay for love.

He talked about his wishes, the end and I know I did everything I could to support him.  

i hope you are doing ok, making every day count making memories.

Good luck on your journey.

Know you aren’t alone and this community is here for you.

Hi Emma, before I replied to you I read a post by you 3 years ago giving a similar answer to someone that I gave you, so I guessed you knew the best thing to do, but the grief and sadness of the situation were blinding you to it. Emma I have also been in your position and know how awful and consuming it can be with our thoughts and emotions all over the place, so I'm glad my little nudge has helped, though I'm sure you would have worked it out yourself, your husband was a wonderful man, i think his attitude, thoughts and wishes are something we would all benefit from hearing. Emma absolutely it sucks, but like your husband you have to make the most of what time you have, I was diagnosed 2 years ago age 56 and due to heart issues all treatments except radiotherapy "done" and hormone therapy "cancer is now resistant" would kill me, really sucks, but life goes on, I have 3 girls and a boy, and 8 grandkids the latest Mandy being born just yesterday and getting married in October, so in answer to your question I am doing ok, best wishes.

Thank you for your comments, messages.   I found a strength I didn’t know I had to get through the toughest of days.   I got through by following his example of his bravery, courage and strength that he did everyday, In tribute to him I tried to follow his example to get through with style and grace to make him proud.  Each day I will live to honour him and live for the two of us.  

Hi Emma that's beautiful, and I'm so happy to hear it, I'm sure he has always bn proud of you, best wishes for all your tomorrows. take care.
