A long time but I am here again

Hello out there. I wish you all a very happy and peaceful time. I haven't posted in about six months.Why ? I felt I had turned a corner after my husband's death nearly 4 years ago. I live in France and went back home in May to Glasgow. This was the turning point I think. The reason for going was to set up contacts to have and exhibition of Barry's photographs. He was a professional photo/ journalist and had travelled all over the world. I met many people and it was a positive focus for me. He entrusted me with a wealth of photos and I envisage a project called Going Home and maybe a long term archive there too. I am hoping to go back again in the Spring.

This is all to say that I will never forget him and I think of him every day. Often asking his advice or his take on things or people ! His rugged Glaswegian humour has saved me a few times ! 

I am ok here in France, have a good network of friends and neighbours but of course we all know when we shut that door at night it is just us. I miss that chat and easy communication about nothing and everything. I have a little cat called Missy who is my absolute joy and lifeline. She knows when I feel down 

Anyway I just wanted to reach out and say I was thinking of you all. Whatever the stage of grief and journey you are at. This forum really helped me a lot

 Thank you . Lots of love and hugs. Fifinet xx
