Hi,
Does anyone else get such swinging emotions? My husband died at the end of January after 40 years together. Yesterday I was furious with him. Today I am back in love with him, hook line and sinker. Trying to keep busy but I just cannot be occupied 24 hours a day.

Thank you Ellie. That is very encouraging to hear. I am so pleased that you have found just the love now. I hate the angry feelings and I cannot wait for them to go. It is almost 4 months since my husband died so I am still fairly early in this journey.
Today I just feel honoured to have had him in my life, but I know I will circle all round the feelings again, and again.
Viv

Hi Tivvy
It does take time, each day can be so different, you never no what the day might bring.
I could not listen to the music we both liked, without crying, now i play it and sing at the top of my voice, sound like a cat really.
I have to say i smile a lot when playing them, as have special memories.
Take Care Ellie xx
