Everyone is banging on about my darling husband sending signs or they see signs from him.
They see sunflowers (his favourite flower) or butterflies (associated with me) or the number 14 (his lucky number - though not so lucky as he passed in hotel room number 14).
They say this shows he is all around us.
Well where is my bloody sign?
I have cried so hard today I have been physically sick.
I lie to those closet to me and say I’ve slept or eaten.
It’s his funeral Monday.
It’s to final.
I go see and talk to him every day. It calms me to see him looking so peaceful. He looks the healthiest he has for a month.
What am I going to do when I can’t go and see him and stroke his beautiful face and hold his beautiful hand any more?
I can’t do this without him. I don’t want to do this without him.
I want to get in the car and drive until I run out of petrol. But I need to have his pillow, clothes, gadgets and stuff in reach.
As before, this is a “release the turmoil and confusion” post with no response needed.
I know you feel the same.
Gosh isn’t it strange how all these little memories keep popping into your head. It reminded me of our shopping trips, he hated shopping and would find a seat somewhere while I rushed to find something. I also need to go shopping for a nice outfit for the funeral now or I may have to that online, not sure I could cope doing that without a bundle of hankies at the ready.
Take care xx
My wonderful man stipulated that everyone was to wear their everyday normal clothes, and be comfy, so he would recognise everyone.
As he put it, he wouldn’t recognise my big brother if he wore a suit!
A few friends asked him if he really meant this and he reassured them that jeans and even shorts were ok with him.
So we had a lovely bright colourful day.
His favourite colour was blue so most people had something blue even if just a pair of socks.
And his favourite flower was a sunflower so people also wore sunflower brooches, ties or hair clips.
So I wore the everyday clothes he saw me in daily which took the stress out of what to wear.
