Woke this morning having been dreaming that my husband and i were travelling to London but we were in different cars, i parked but then i could not find him. I had no phone signal to ring him. I think this was the worst that i have felt since he died on 12th January. Just when i think i am doing ok things like this dream happen and i just hate this. Lots of well meaning people advise keeping busy but when you do stop it just feel like running into a brick wall. Thank you for listening.
Wishing peace and comfort for all in this group. xxxxx
Hey Martin. DONT look for signs mate. They will appear when you least expect them. That's how spirit works. But when it it does you will be taken aback and just KNOW
Love and Light

At the end of all our journeying will be to find ourselves back where we started knowing the place for the first time. TS ELIOT.
Hi Martin sounds like my wife diagnosed in June and passed 2weeks later just seems so fast doesn't it
Hi Martin,
Happy heavenly Birthday to Diane. It was my Bobs birthday 6 weeks after he died and I was worse than I thought I’d be. I was a wreck to be honest but I’m still here so I must have got through it. Go with your gut, mine told me to curl up in a ball and sob.
Thinking of you x

Hi Martin/Ian
My husband diagnosed early October (incorrectly at first) and passed end December. We were told at least s year with palliative chemo, after only two treatments, he died suddenly!
Now I have to go through an inquest!

Hi Martin,
You have every right to be grumpy on this day I was totally debilitated on my Bobs Birthday so don’t be hard on yourself today. Life is shit without our loved ones and for me not getting any easier at all and I can’t get my head around the fact that I will never see him again and makes me cry so much. I stand and stare at a beautiful picture of him and see into his eyes and it just hurts so much.
Go with it Martin we are all here for you

Hi Martin, hope you have got through the day as well as you could. I haven't been there yet but have booked Mark's birthday off work as I anticipate it being a bad day.
Have had a crap day at work with all this panic buying. Worked 5 days this week instead of 2. Have been told to f off today and had a pot noodle thrown at me!
I am utterly exhausted and just wanted a hug from Mark so am crying in bed now as I can't have one!
Night all. Ali x
