Dear All,
Last night I watched the entire series both Seasons 1 and 2 of Afterlife written, produced and acted in by Ricky Gervais. For those of you who havnt seen it the main character Tony has recently lost his wife to breast cancer. Gervais performance was a masterpiece. His every thought and behaviour matched all that I have, and still am, experiencing. I freely admit I sobbed my heart out whilst watching and at one stage thought that it wasn't healthy for me to continue. But I pressed on. Its amazing how much locked up grief I shed. I reviewed memories that I realise now I had unconsciously put away as being too painful to remember. Today I feel much lighter for the experience. Im not saying its tackled my grief as I cant see that ever going away because I was with my soulmate Anne for 50yrs and loved her beyond comprehension.
