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 Everyone,
    Sorry not been on lately had a really bad week as a year since my mum died and brings everything back as she didn't have a peacefull ending and was not nice to have to watch, so been spending a lot of time at my dad's this week. I seem to have missed all the party's , i hope you are all getting on ok well as best as you can. Hello to the new people that have joined the post since i have been on. My nephew's wife's mum died suddenly yesterday so alas more heartache in our family and another funeral to attend. I seem to have cried buckets this week i suppose i never really grieved for my mum at the time as had Derek to look after and keep strong for him. Well this is the start of another week and i will have to keep going, hopefully becoming a granny in Dec will help me, i suppose i will get a lot of babysitting to do. Weather bad here today very wet so don't know what i will do today mind you plenty housework to do. Speak again soon hope you all have a good day.
    Take Care

    Hi Kaz,
    Nice to meet you as well, the coffee and chocolate biscuit sounds good maybe it will win before the housework.
