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

    Helen, come on girl you know you can do this, hold your head up high and know that Paul is with you all the time, he wouldn't want you like this would he now, so try and have a positive attitude to your holiday and that way you might just enjoy yourself, come on be strong you can do it.

    Son is in with his girlfriend and daughter is babysitting. Come to bed with the lappy.

    Think you`re right, have all the tears tonight then hopefully that will be it.

    Kev I usually am sooo positive, doesn`t help that I`ve got Sky news on with the bombings in Majorca the other day!!! This isn`t like me at all, I`ll blame it on the hangover. Never drinking again!!! Well there is Sangria on hols though isn`t there?? hee hee
