My husband Peter passed away 10 weeks ago from stage 4 brain cancer, I'm so lost without him I have no family and the one friend I had told me to stop talking about him in the present sense as she felt it was wrong and I need help, I don't need head shrinks telling me to talk to an empty chair, I will never stop talking about the man I loved all my life, he was my childhood sweetheart and the love of my life I miss him so much
Hello wend53
It is such a shame your friend doesn't appear to understand how you feel. As I said in my previous message I to talk about my lovely husband in the present tense, for me he will always be with me as I'm sure your husband is with you. Take care xx
I'm sure Peter is with me, but as for the so called former friend , she will never understand the pain she has caused me, as her partner's death was self inflicted not that I'm being disrespectful to her, I'm not a nasty person , I'm just completely lost without my Peter , thank you for your message take care xx
