How is it 3 months today.

6.30pm, it was 3 whole months since my husband, my Mr Wonderful, lost his short battle with cancer. 

It still feels like yesterday, still so painful, still so gut wrenching, Still feel numb.

More lonely, more sad, more headaches, more hair falling out, more crap nights sleep.

Sorry, needed to write to try and stop the tears. 

Love and hugs xx

  • Keep writing. Keep venting on here. Don’t feel you have to try and hide it away. Everyone here knows what you’re going through and ‘gets it’. I count the ‘17ths’ since he died on the 17th of June. Four so far and two and a half weeks to go until the next.

    Sending you a big hug xx

  • Thank you lovely x

  • Sending warm regards during this very difficult time. I lost my husband 2 weeks ago following a 3 month battle with this dreadful disease.
    I try to put one foot forward and the next foot follows. I can’t think beyond that. I know and have faith that going forward this ‘Acute’ pain in my heart and soul will ease.. I hope the same for you.

  • Sadness came to tea last night
    as she’s often done before
    but I didn’t let her in this time
    I stopped her at the door
    “I’m off to meet with friends”, I said
    “your timing isn’t right
    I can’t allow your atmosphere
    it’s not the place tonight”
    but sadness wouldn’t take the hint
    her manners lack finesse
    her pace was slow and heavy
    yet she kept up nonetheless
    and even when I took my place
    amongst my laughing friends
    she squeezed herself right in-between
    her boldness never ends
    and I was sure my friends would see
    this spectre at the feast
    and somehow think me lesser
    for inviting such a beast
    but no, their warmth was undeterred
    as if nothing was new
    I think perhaps they know by now
    I sometimes come as two
    and even sadness seemed to glow
    a lighter shade of grey
    to know that she’s accepted
    seemed to lighten up her day
    so let your sad accompany you
    don’t think her hard to bear
    no need to face her all alone
    just pull an extra chair.
