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

Tut tut Gayle, ' a moment on the lips a lifetime on the hips'. or do you prefer ' kitchen pickers wear bigger knickers' lol x x

Hi Everyone,
Just catching up on all the posts, with my sister away her holidays i have been at my dad's for the last two days, he needs a lot of help so spending time with him my sister away for two weeks so will be tired by the end of her holidays but she also needs a break as she usually does a lot for my dad as she just stays across the road from him. We have both been upset today as my mum's birthday and we all miss her so much i never thought for one minute my mum would be away before my dad as he is the one with breathing problems and has been like this for years and my mum never had anything wrong, she hardly had a day in her bed ill. Never thought for one minute i would be without my mum and my husband in the same year (life is so cruel) I have my first grandchild to look forward too so that hopefully will give me the will to go on. Hope everybody is doing ok i would have to read all the posts again to be able to reply to everyone as my memory not that good, maybe writing it down as i go along is a good idea. Well i am off to bed as working in the morning then i will have to go and give my dad his dinner then stay and see him into bed. Luv and Hugs to you all.
Take Care

Hi all
Gayle, what a bargain......which site did you get that on please, may try it myself?.. It must be hard for you having to be sole support for your boys but I am sure you are doing ok with them. They are sharing with you so that is only good. I have taken my oldest grandchild who lives with me to the Butterwick Hospice Counsellor. He has Aspergers so needs a little bit of help with emotions, etc. This really helped him and he can now be with me without being angry. He hates to see me upset so had to sleep with friends and family for a couple of weeks when John died. Now I just wait for him to go to bed. He keeps me going. You just have to have fun with kids even if you dont want to. He is 11 and the other two who are going with me are 8 and 4...hope that is a good age to enjoy Disneyland? How old are your boys? WIll take your recommendations to see the Wild West Show.
I feel a sudden urge for a glass of champers and a chocolate bar....need to shop tomorrow. Oh the power of suggestion.
Good night all. x

Hi everyone - all this talk of champers and chocolate sounds lovely. Might need a treat while I am camping next week. We were rubbish at the quiz! But dad gave me a big homemade apple pie to take away with me.
You are doing a wonderful job with your little boys Gayle - and you made me cry reading what Jamie said. It is good that he talks to you though - that's lovely. You got a real deal with the tenerife holiday and it is something to look forward to for after the winter. I haven't thought past the camping trip if I am honest. I don't feel brave enough to tackle somethings on my own. I feel a bit like you there Tricia. I was thinking about booking myself and the kids into Centre Parks for a break around Easter time.
Hi Sue - fruit and nut was Chris's favourite so I got quite used to sharing it with him. Hope you will share yours??
You will have your hands full at Disneyland with the 3 kiddies Coral but I bet it will be great fun.
Hope you are okay Fiona. You have a lot on for now with working and looking after your Dad. Make sure you get your rest.
Talking of which - I need to go to bed - goodnight everyone. Ailsa xx

Good night Ailsa, and no I won't share my chocolate.

Susan, how mean can you be. Share the calories. Aaaaah go on. You know you want to. lolx x x Patricia x x Sleep well everyone x x

I'll share anything else, BUT NOT MY CHOCOLATE!!!!
