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

    20th July one - she basically goes out and has loads of one night stands. Not that I am saying that is the right thing to do but it explains how everyone deals with grief differently and how it affects your emotions. I had recently been getting mad with the tabloids slagging off Jack Tweed for having one night stands after losing Jade and feel like shouting at these stupid reporters to say they don't know what it feels like. Unless you are in a similar situation then how can you judge? Sorry will get off my soapbox now lol! Don't want to spoil the party. Maybe I should have a glass of wine!
