Hi all
does anyone feel like they are having a better day then all of a sudden have a massive low ?.
I think that is the problem, when I’m reading other people’s stories about the end of life most people make it sound like it was all rosey & happy with no regrets, thank you for being honest, as you say no relationship is perfect. The terrible ending was due to his pain & illness, (he was never really unkind before) & my feeling of utter hopelessness at not being able to help him. I just wish as we all do we could have that we could have that one last ‘I love you’ whilst holding hands & they drift off into a beautiful sleep but of course real life is sometimes cold & ugly & death can never really be beautiful. I am glad he’s not here suffering anymore but as you say it doesn’t make it better. Thank you again I don’t feel quite so alone now
Did you go by yourself ? I can imagine you thought Someone Special should have been in that seat next to you. I hope you did feel some sort of Joy watching and listening . It's awful coming back to an empty house. Gonna take some getting used to. x
Hi sorry, it's not Kate. I was by myself. The second thing since. I didn't get a wet face like the first one. The stories and songs were good. It's just not having Sue to share it with. 14 months in and it's still hard.
Take care everyone.
