Maggie my love, I am so so sorry to hear about Jim, you must be devastated . I am worried about you, is there anyone at home with you ? X 

Hello Maggie,

Im so, so, sorry to hear about your precious Jim.  When your head starts to clear a bit you’ll realise what he left for you, those lovely children and beautiful grandchildren, he knew you would never be alone. 
You have friends around you and family and you have friends on here, we’ve all been friends now for a long time and we are all here for you. 
You always manage to get on here eventually, either by private message or making your own posts and Macmillan I’m sure will make sure your messages get to where they should be, everybody knows where Maggie belongs. 
Take care Maggie, speak soon

Oh Maggie 

I am new on here and your message has just broken my heart.  I am so sorry for your loss and I hope you are getting all the support you need.  You will always find a friend on here

Hello Maggie,

I am so sorry for your loss. 

You are not burdening anyone so please do post on here as much as you need to. 

I hope that you have family around for support but if you need to please pick up the phone to Macmillan and talk to someone. 

They are lovely and they will understand. 

Take care

Jane
