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 Patricia

    I am also at work. Sounds like the wedding day was lovely, I am sure that Stuart was very proud of his mum. Have a wonderful time in Japan, can't wait to see the wedding pics.

    Love Lesley  xx

    is this quiet enough?

    Hi everyone.  What a cute little picture Sue.  Patricia I loved reading all about your weekend and I am so glad it went so well.  Stuart will be so proud of his mum.  You must be exhausted but obviously can't rest until you get to the 'land of the rising sun'.  Try to rest on the way if you can because you need to take it all in when you get there.  Don't worry if you can't get on here much while you are away but please, please, please can we have loads of photos when you get back.  Lots of ((((((hugs)))))) Patricia.

    Thanks for sorting the tickets Judi.  I will let my family know that I will be in Glasgow that weekend.  They will be so pleased.  It includes my god-father and I know he will be more than happy for me to stay with him & his wife, in fact I would offend if I didn't.  I'm really excited now.

    One of the problems with me feeling a bit down and flat again this week is that my memory is really bad again.  I'm afraid I can't remember any other posts now and I didn't make notes.  I have a slight cold and I am tired so I think an early night is in order.  Hope everyone is okay.  Take care.  Ailsa xxxx
