Hi
It is early days. A sign or message will appear probably when you least expect it. I never had anything to start with but getting more now. Not what I would expect but different little things. The irises came up that he gavee the other day when I felt low and gave me the strength to write the coroner's report that I kept putting off. I had had those irises in for a couple of years and the did nothing. Now they are blooming.
When I looked through an old notebook I found something he had written about how much he loved me.
Just be patient, she is there's f wants you to keep going.
Love and hugs Alison xxx
hi I'm so sorry for your loss and the terrible heartache it brings I hope you find strength and some sort of peace and comfort today .
It's 3 weeks today for me too since Colin left us. I had a meltdown yesterday watching BGT! I was talking to his photo and telling him about the 12 year old girl singing Tina Turners Proud Mary. We both danced wildly to that tune many a time and it just brought back memories of good times! Our loved ones are all around in photos stuff we live with everyday, I wear his aftershave but can't smell it atm except for when I first spray it on. A friend of mine said 'don't be sad it's over, just be glad it happened' I treasure our 20+ years together and will look through the photos with his 4 sons who we both brought up together.
