Message from MyPineapple

Hello Allison, 

I’m Jane

Hi Mypineapple, Allison,

It's such a lovely story how you came to your username, I really like it! As you can see, I wasn't inventive, maybe I should change my username to something else, something that would have meant something to Paul and myself, but I guess now it's a little too late because all people on here know me under my current username. It's lovely you are here and so much of what you've been writing and sharing resonated so much with me. I am only 38 and was 35 when I lost my husband, who was 68 at the time, there was a large age gap between us I know, but we didn't care one single bit, we hardly ever noticed to be honest. Reading your and everybody else's posts is so so good. I am not posting regularly but I read all the posts and I try to take part in conversations as often as I can. 

Love and blessings

Melanie

Hi Jane, lovely to have you here, I always love your posts! And I am Melanie or Mel for short. XXX

Hello Mel, Thank you for your kind words. I could say the same to you too. I’m the same- read everything but don’t always respond in writing

I read more than post at the moment but this site has been my saviour!! It will be a year on 5th April since I lost my hero-husband Colin   

My name is Sandra D  xx

Hi Jane

Hi Melanie, 

35 is very young to be widowed. However I feel the pain coming thru for those older losing their loved ones too, none of us escape the sheer heartbreak that only we can describe. 
I don’t always write either just have a read sometimes and I think that’s probably like all of us. We don’t always need to reply.

I might write another new message later about my crap ‘day after the funeral’ and I’ll mark it with MyPineapple if I do so folks who’ve got to know my messages on here can either think ...oh let’ see what Allison’s up to or think...jeez her again ..I think I’ll skip this one!!! that’s fine too.

Hello Sandra D 

From the movie Greace!?  

Hi Allison 

My name choice was quite boring its just my name and the age i became a widower 

It still shocks me I always thought we would grow old together 

I needed this group so much in the fist 3 weeks or so when I was going through all the different stages of grief it gave me somewhere to say how I was feeling without anyone thinking I was making a fuss or upsetting anyone now I do find i read Moore than post but do like to pop in a couple of times a week even though I do end up crying reading everyone else's posts 

Kate xx

My name was after our last cat. She was named after the girl band who in turn were named after the character in Grease. Son 2 chose the name! 
Hugs

Jane Xx
