Hi, everyone, 

1 year today, my soul mate went ahead of me.

Thank you to everyone for your support, over the past year on this crap path.  Don't worry I'm not going anywhere. I just wanted to say thank you. 

  • Morning, you are most welcome. The way we support each other is wonderful. The kindness, sensitivity, strength and humour have helped me so much over the past 18 months. I wanted to thank you for your support and advice when I was trying to sort my husband’s headstone. I wasn’t able to, as the pain was too much. You suggested waiting, until it was the right time. I did this, and took the pressure off myself. Well, last week was the right time, and a beautiful granite headstone has been ordered. The inscription decided on. I decided I would be creating a piece of art, and it will look beautiful. Warm wishes to all. Kate.xxx

  • Ghistlovescore, we are all in this sh*t together, different time lines, yes ( 3.5 months for me). Those of you further down the road have helped me feel less alone and less like Im completely bonkers. 

    Today must have been hard for you. Did you do anything or spend time with anyone? Or just reflectively on your own?

  • Thank you, I am afraid I spent it on my own. Just how life has turned out. Watched a couple of holiday videos. Tears and memories. 

  • Kate, thank you,  I am glad I was able to help you, when you needed it. As you know I have little support from family and friends? . I am scared I will now lose this as they luckily fo not understand this grief. Sorry gone on a ramble. 

  • You are not rambling. I understand. Are you managing any of the Bereavement Groups ? Basic interaction can be helpful. As you know, I literally take one day at a time. I know this weekend has been difficult. Sending hugs to all. Kate. xxx

  • Hi Kate,

    Yes we meet up once a week for about a hour. 

  • Hi Ghostlove.

    You're very welcome. Great we are all here for one another and get it. Well, you made it you've got through the first year. I won't tell you it gets easier because only you will know that yourself we are all different in how we tackle our grief. Glad you decided `not to go anywhere`  if I remember when you came on here at first you sounded pretty desperate as if you were but hopefully as a group we have helped you through that. Yes its a place none of want to be but here we are and long may we continue to be a support for one another as we navigate our way on this as you call it `crap path`. Take Care. 

    Vicky.
