You just know it’s not going to be a good day

If you are a lunatic then so am l, l have started to wear a particular aftershave of Pete`s. BRUT¬ itwas the one he wore when we were courting back in the early 70s, cost 50p a bottle. God that sounds like a life time ago:(

I find that certain parts of our home l can smell his scent stronger, weird l know but there you go x

I have worn Pete's pants since he passed now l am sure people think l have lost my marbles lol x

But l don`t care they are Pete`s and they are mine x

I think we all need to do whatever we need no matter what it is, if it helps then go for it. x

"We're all mad here" ;-)

At least we have another connection:)

I like it! x

Me too!  I still wear Nic's aftershave and some of his clothes.  I've cleared out a lot of stuff from the office where he worked for the two years from diagnosis until he passed.  It still smells of him after a year, which I find comforting.  My mum told me to keep some of his clothes which hadn't been washed so I have some things with his smell on it.  So thats what I've done.

All this works for me and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

And nor should you be! I just wish I wasn't so ocd about getting the washing done, only got his jacket and a t-shirt and they seem to have lost his smell now, so I spray his aftershave or deodorant on his clothes which works but it not the same 

It’s official, I’m bonkers too, having not changed his pillow slip, everything of Mart’s is where he left it and yes, I wear his Allure Homme, and I’m so glad I bought the 100ml bottle a month before he passed. 
We also were not apart more than 3 or 4 nights in 48 years, when he went to conferences, and yes, we were both very lucky to have found each other and lived a happy life. 
I realise, I try to block the pain, filling my time with irrelevant rubbish, but just realised, it’s 2 years yesterday, since we bought this house, when we were full of hope after his surgery, its knocked me a bit. X
