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

Hi all

Firstly Fiona, wonderful news about wee Charlie.  Well done Kim - and early too, just to cheer up granny after the rubbish few weeks she has been having.  He is obviously a very thoughtful little fella.  Sue, I am so glad that your day was better than anticipated.  What a lovely family you have. 

Lynne, I am not going to give you a Health and Safety lecture ...... because I don't think it will make the slightest bit of difference!  Just you go and have a fabulous time, and keep a diary so that when you come back you can tell us in detail all you got up to. 

Helen hun, hope that the rain let up and that you and yours looked after each other today. Massive Hig Bugs to you. (())

Esme, I hope that the horses are all bedded down and that you didn't blow away. And yes my dogs haven't been far today, so at the moment Joey is wandering around the house like a fed up teenage boy - just bored and looking for mischief.

Yvonne, Mandy and Dave - hi guys.  Lovely to have you here.  I am not as adept as others at posting to various threads and get very discombobulated (one of my very favourite words).  Although I am further down this horrible road than most of the others, I didn't find them as soon as I should have - life has become easier since I did.  Just knowing that there is someone there who REALLY understands can make the most incredible difference.  Hi my lovely Patricia.  Hope you are doing okay at the moment.  I think you must have the most amazing colour aura about you - so loving and caring. 

Ailsa - are you back yet, we want wedding tales?  Dottee, glad you and Alan had a good retail therapy outing, and so happy to hear that the meds are making such a difference. ......I think that might have been a different thread, but never mind.   Gayle - where are you?  How are the boys?

I had some lovely news today - Boy is coming home for a few days on Tuesday.  Now I know that the longest I will see him for is probably an hour at a time cos he will be busy catching up with everyone, but that is just fine with me.  Of course there will be all those loads of washing etc and the fridge will take a hammering, but am delighted.  Need a hug from him, haven't seen him since early September.  Although as most of you know he is fabulous at phoning and ALWAYS at a time it is needed. 

If I have missed anyone, apologies - Judi xxx

Helen, crossed posts with you.  Glad that the rain stopped, and that you managed - we never doubted you would.  xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Judi

My husband lost his year long battle with leukaemia this afternoon. Myself and my daughters have been camped at the hospital for a week and are exhausted. He fought so hard and wouldn't give in but finally he had to. What a year it's been. So hard on everyone but he is at peace at last.

I've had some wonderful support from others on this site. Thank you all.
