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

    You`re all fantastic

    Sue you`re right. Paul would want us to have fun, and all your thoughts will help me.

    I`ll try and bring the sun back, it will probably be glorious here while I`m away. Speak soon and thanks again

    Big hugs from me too Helen. Just think of lying on a sunlounger soaking up the rays and take lots of good books to keep your mind occupied. I will be thinking of you. I am dreading my hols too. We are off on the 13th and the boys are so excited so I will just keep focusing on that. You can come back with lots of tips for me.

    Take care and don't drink too much sangria!

    morning, girls
    Just to wish Helen a fab holiday; take care, use lashings of sun cream, and look forward to hearing all about it when you get back.
    Remember - Paul will be there in your heart; you can't get rid of him that easily!
