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
Morning everyone. Thought I would have a quick catch up before work. The film was dire!!! We chose Land of the Lost - don't do it! It was the worst film I have ever seen. There were only 2 people in the cinema when we walked in so that will be my clue next time. Then a team of people came in and sat directly behind us even though the whole cinema was empty. Then the guy behind me fell asleep and snored loudly. It gave us something to laugh about on the way home but I won't be going to the cinema on spec again for sure!
Glad to hear you've booked the holiday Lynne - you deserve it so enjoy it. Good luck with the doc today and if you don't mind sharing I would be interested to see what he has to say.
Have a great time in Cornwall and Devon Kev.
Take care. Ailsa xx
