My husband died in my arms on the 2nd May (2009) - what happens now?

dear esme

welcome! Yes, please move in with us.  we are all in the same boat, as you say, and we support one another and quite often have a good laugh along the way!   I lost my husband 17 weeks ago -  my story is on my profile, please feel free to read it.

your son isn't really moving away from you; he's just stretching the elastic a bit!   wouldn't mind betting that his washing will find its way back to you fairly soon!   I'm sure your husband would be pleased that he's doing this.     

Your garden and gazebo sound beautiful; I'm starting to feel inspired, and am looking to plan something for next spring. I'll be looking to you, kaz and lynne for inspiration.

Keep on posting, Esme - lovely to have you with us.

Hi Esme , and sorry to welcome you , but you are more than welcome on this thread it has been my lifeline , Are you face book , my pics are on there , not sure how to get them on here buti will try . Most of the ladies on this thread are all in the same situation as you so we all know what you are going though , we are all on such a roller coaster ride , but when one of us is down there is always someone to pick you up . But dont believe everything you read , there is some wicked rumours about a mad women on here , i dont know any anything about it . lol Sure more ladies will be on later , think everyone watching x factor ..

Hee hee thank you Lynn!  I'm watching X Factor whilst dabbling on here via laptop (this is truly sad, Daniel, Samantha and I are sitting in the lounge all with laptops tapping away in front of us, but at least we are all together!)  Look forward to getting to know you all, mad women all

Sorry Sue missed your post, I think you are right about the elastic we're already planning to call him when we are making apple crumble, that should get him running back!  Will be pleased to help in any way with your garden, I think ther are a couple of photos of ours on my profile and I will pm you with Facebook details where you can see the making of the garden and Daniel and Samantha's memorial tattoos.

Now then, lynne, are you going to come clean or shall I spill the beans?  Thinking about it, that's more your thing than mime..........................

Hi Esme , i'll go and find you on face book then , i too am on lap top , feet up watching x factor , ah sad lol

Sue my lips are sealed

Evening everyone

Welcome to Esme, your garden sounds wonderful.

Lynne hope you have a lovely time at Butlins, lets hope you have no mishaps and you leave their furnishings in one piece lol.

Helen great news on your car bet your really proud of yourself, it is a big step doing these things on our own.

Had a busy day at dads then went to the gym and finally did a bit more work out in the garden, its just so nice to be outside at the moment. Fetched one very tired and grumpy daughter from guide camp who has finally and thankfully given up and gone to bed. Oh the joys of parenthood.

Hi Esme and welcome xxx

There`s a lot of reading to do on this thread!! Enjoy!!

Lynne I can`t see your pics yet, facebook is playing up!! Have a great time at Butlns, sure you`ll have some stories to tell!!  Well I`ve done a stupid thing, in all the excitement of buying my car I`ve left my credit card with the manager!! I`m going back tomorrow for a valet so I`m sure I`ll get it back but me panicking I`ve cancelled it just in case. How stupid am I???

I`m just catching up on secret millionaire from the other night
