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 all, just been catching up on all the posts. Sounds like you have all been busy either socialising, entertaining or decorating. How busy you all are. I hope that you are all finding in beneficial. Someone mentioned alcohol and tears. I don't drink alcohol but the tears are never far away. It is 25 weeks today since Ray left.

    Thinking of ditching the car. It decided to pack up on me on my way to visit my son and his girlfriend. Need a new alternator now grrrrr...... Oh well could be worse I suppose. Life sucks.

    Well have a good day all. Hope it is as enjoyable as it can be. Love and angel hugs x x Patricia x x

    Hello everyone,

    Glad you have all had a busy productive day. I find that is the only thing that stops me going mad! I had a quiet night watching X-Factor and then an early night then up early today for Jamie to go to his football classes which he loved. We then went to ASDA where we met a few people but it was fine. We have just had a lazy afternoon but I have ironing etc to do tonight. The joys!

    Glad the day went well Lynne - would you mind if I can be added as a friend on Facebook? My id is Gayle Tulloch. I would love to see your pics.

    Glad your wedding went well Helen.

    Kev, Jamie got a DS for his birthday so he is glued to it now too. Keeps him out of mischive and away from wrestling with his brother!

    Hi Sue , it wouldn't play for me either the first time bit i've watched it again now (tearfully ) But i feel so guilty i went back up at tea time today and i was trying to move the 6 balloons which were tied together and yes you,ve guessed it , the string came away from the weight and before i knew it they we're about 2 hundred feet in the air , i just stood staring . It was his daughter in Afghan that had sent those , i dont think i'll tell her i let them go , but i'm sure Gordon will catch them , they we're going faster than the speed of light oops . There is still the otheres on tho , i wont be touching them ..
