Finding it so hard today. I can be so strong and positive most of the time but today it's tears. Writing out birthday and anniversary cards to hubby's family, signing them from one not two. It hurts.
Hello Kathy Im sorry you are having a bad day ,you are always so chirpy and supportive ,but sadly these days will pop up and I still find it hard writing my name only on cards and letters my children find it hard not writing Mum and Dad on cards its hard doing things like shopping for one and seeing things on shelvesthat Tony liked I still have tears .and he died in Feb 2013 people tell me it will get easier but when ?Kathy you have lost the love of your life you were together for years and have so many memories its so hard I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better ,just remember how filled with love that life was and love never dies ...Huge hugs Kathy ...Sueanne Xx
Hi Sueanne, just being there honey is a help. It is reassuring to know that the down times are quite normal and will pop up now and again. My mum is coming over in March, she was widowed at the age of 59 after having nursed dad for 20 years. I am looking forward to having some good talks with her, baking her cheese scones and spoiling her to bits. My accent will take on the Scottish brogue again and I will probably have to translate for my friends as when together we tend to talk very quickly. I don't know if it gets easier as such or do we adapt at coping better? I know my wobbles are less frequent but that could be due to keeping on the go a lot. The memories will always be with me locked in my heart so I don't envisage moving from this house. We often said even if we won Lotto we wouldn't move. Never been materialistic, don't need a pool or a spa or flash accessories. The simple life is good. Better stop rambling. Thank you for your kindness. Hugs Kathy xx
