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

    Morning everyone

    Sunny here!

    Kev I am sure Di would want you to meet someone else and be happy xxx That was a conversation Paul insisted we had before he died to tell me that he wanted me to meet someone else and be happy with them as I am still young (ish!!!). I told him I could never imagine it and still can`t but then again I miss the company but it would never be Paul would it???

    No plans for me today so far, might be going to look at cars later with son. Want to down size but never bought a car before???

    No, it isn't; I have a fridge and freezer full of stuff that I don't want/ don't fancy/ or just can't be bothered with!! I actually made veggie fajitas this week as my daughters were both here and they were ok. Think I need to get my act together and stop existing on pringles and choc ice lolies! talk about a healthy diet.......

    i think it will take a long time yet. also I think we will have to redefine 'normal' as we will never get back the life we had before. i'm just keeping as busy as i can with totally trivial tasks; this site has saved my sanity!

    Hello everyone



    Helen, me and Di had the same conversation and she even went through her address book to find me someone. You're right it won't be Di or Paul and the hardest thing for me is that I will compare them with Di and I think that is wrong and unfair on them, maybe it will never happen but as I said I am starting to think that I'm sort of ready and I never thought I would be. If someone did come along I would probably run a mile as I haven't done the dating thing for 28 years and counting.



    Sue and Kaz, what a party you two had, I wish I was there I haven't been to a party for ages and it sounded good, did any of the neighbours complain?? You couldn't send any unwanted food here could you?



    Hope everyone is doing ok

    Evening everyone

    Who`s partying tonight?? Hope everyone has eaten or is going to eat, need to keep your strength up. I`m going to order an Indian with son soon, he`s actually staying in!!!

    Kev was chatting to son earlier and mentioned the fa cup final, I had forgotten Paul and Liam were there too, Liam said it was a great day. I had forgotten all about it!! He said the West Ham fans were great and stayed at the end to cheer Liverpool getting the cup

    A date may come along when you least expect it, who knows what the future holds???

    I`ve been looking at new cars this aftenoon with Liam, well looking but more likely to be buying 03/04. Where do you start? Thing is Liam has got interest as he wants to get insured too when he hopefully passes his test.

    How is everyone else?
