My husband - Chris - died on the 2nd May 2009 because he had anal cancer. He knew he was going and we spoke about lots and lots of things before he died. That is why I am just not prepared for the huge amount of guilt I feel now. I feel guilty that the world hasn't stopped turning round even though he has died. I feel like everything should stop as a mark of respect. I also feel very guilty that he had to be so ill he had to die. What a cruel cruel thing it is to make someone so ill their body just stops working. I wasn't ready for him to go. I really really hope these are normal feelings because I must hang on to my sanity for the sake of my 3 children. I have never known sadness like I feel right now. I can't believe that I will not hear his voice or feel his touch again. We were married for almost 32 years and I have known Chris for 34 years - since I was 16. What happens now? Ailsa

    Hi Kev,
    How many weeks of holidays has Brad left, our schools are into there last week next week seems to have gone fast My daughter is primary school teacher and can't believe it's nearly time to go back, she is having a baby but not due until Dec so she is going to work on as long as she can then go back fulltime after six months as she really enjoys her job.

    Ha llo Tricia, try not to worry too much about your children seeing you cry. I cry when I` m with my daughter Elena, and she says , "let it all out mum, it`ll do you good!" Also she feels she can cry when she`s with me and doesn`t have to hold back ,so have a good weep when you feel like it! love Christine xx

    Hi everyone. Kev I am so glad to hear that Brad is another kid who would rather be on his DS instead of a bike. Maybe Becky will cut Declan some slack now because she is convinced there is something wrong with him because he can't ride his bike.

    Sorry to hear about the tup in the car Patricia. Hope it doesn't take too much fixing.

    I have had a bit of an anxious day today. I think it is because I am tired and also because I had not been through to the cemetry since last week because I was away. I've been through today and I am about to go to bed now so hopefully I will feel better tomorrow in time to have a nice weekend. Sue & Lynne - I hope you are both feeling a bit better now. Sleep well everyone. Ailsa xx
