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
Evening All,
Glad work went ok, i also think it was the best thing for me to get back to work i had been off ten months so it gave me something else to think about and was better than sitting in the house myself. I will try and get more photos on to facebook, will get Kim to help me. I am still running in and out to my dad's my sister due back on Wed will be nice to see them as i have missed them both as they have been so good to me i don't know what i would do without them mind you my niece's and nephew are also good at looking after me. Weather not to bad here today for once but wait for it rain again tomorrow but thats Scotland for you. Well i better get off to bed as working in the morning, hope you are all ok.
Take Care
