I've just received an email from Tom at Macmillan, he asks how I am.
I'm angry, lost my husband after a short but fierce battle with Oesophageal Cancer in April at the height of the Covid pandemic. Nobody from the hospital has been in contact with me inspite of me contacting his nurse and leaving a message. I have felt numb until yesterday when my manager at work told me it's ok to grieve.
I miss him so much we were together for 36 years, married for 31 years. We could only have 10 mourners at his funeral....you probably already know this if you've lost someone.... sorry I'm just moaning
Hi Lizzie
if you try to keep busy it helps when I’m at work I don’t think so much when I went back to work people did not know what to say to me when you get past that bit it’s easier. so I try to keep busy at home then I run out of jobs to do lol then I vegetate in front of tv
but having a chat on here with all are virtual friends helps
take care have a good day
