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

    Grrr still waiting on another offer!!! My nerves are shot to pieces. What is really annoying me is that the couple know my situation so you would think they wouldn't muck about. Oh well hopefully tomorrow will see an end to it .. I've got a horrible cold too so that probably isn't helping.

    Hugs to everyone

    No, haven't bought anything yet but have seen two houses I like so I am going to go back and look at them again on Tuesday. I am off work so might as well. Both are empty and have been for about a year so no problem with entry or anything.
