Thanking all of you

 I lost my wife to breast cancer on 22/12/20 my was 39 and left me with two boys 8 2 years old I have wrote about that on here!  The funeral was today  and it was as perfect as they can be! I want to say a massive thank you to this web page and most of all to the people! You guys are great  you really are  I think I have made real friends even if we have never met!!! So many stories just like mine are being shared  and love and support just get better and better. 5 people on here are very close to my heart  again I've never met them. But they have kept we going kept me alive in many ways. Still have a long road ahead but thank you  

  • How are you feeling hope ok ish this may sound crazy  but im in a happy place trust me me can do this  

  • I'm ok ish tonight. Got my parents here (glad I'm in a bubble with them) and having a couple of drinks and watching rubbish TV with the kids. No doubt be down again later when everything is quiet and I have to think again. Glad you're in a better place tonight. We will get through it. We have to 

  • Jo and Chris. I think you are great to go through this with young children, I have 3 sons but they are all adult. The medium I used was called Rose o Driscoll, she is Irish but I think she lives in Canada, I heard her on the radio , looked her up on the internet and emailed her . We did both meeting s over Skype. I was very skeptic at first , but most of the things she said were so true. There is no way she could have known any of it. I definitely believe that there is something after death after the meeting. 
     

    Richard I think you are so brave to do a trip to India, I find it very hard going anywhere on my own. 
    my wife is Irish, but we lived in uk for most of our married life , in a place called Crowthorne near sandhurst/ Bracknell we moved back to Ireland a few years ago , she died of melanoma. 
     

    people said to me that the second year can be harder than the first. I couldn't see how that could be possible, but unfortunately they were right . I don't cry as much , eat and sleep a bit better, but the loneliness and missing her is so painful, I still have that empty feeling in my chest . 
     

    I suppose we loved them so much we are bound to feel like this. I read somewhere that grief is the price we pay for love. 
    thinking of you all. 
    Mike. 

  • Hi mike your just up the m3  A few junctions I'm in Southampton  I worked in Bracknell  before  for a while I'm a digger driver   After all this COVID  stuff I'd love to meet up Richard is London?  Children get me through don't they jo! I can tell how lonely you must be it's  ok knowing your going back to then one day but we still have to  live  as well 

  • Hi Chris. , I used to work at Broadmoor hospital in Crowthorne for 25 years took early retirement and moved to Ireland. I still have a son near Bracknell and go back to see him a lot . Next time I am over I would love to meet up with you and Richard. It is nice to get to know you all , but unfortunate it has to be under theses circumstances. 
    Winnie and I used to go down to Southampton a lot . We also went to Portsmouth a lot and went around the historic dockyard , I was posted ther when I was in the navy. A lovely part of the country. 
     

    I now live on an island of the south west coast of Ireland. 

  • Ok mate that would be great to meet one day I hope you're ok  I'm sorry about your wife it's so sad  wish we never had to meet like his  like you  said. On here I have met so many people  who are my true friends now they understand my pain  

  • Are you ok? I've missed talking to you 

  • Hi Chris,

    I'm ok, just didn't get up till really late today. Stayed up talking to a friend on the phone till about 3am. Was someone I'd not spoken to for a while so it was nice to hear from her. 

    Having quite a down day today. Just missing him and feels like every day is the same here without anything to really look forward to. 

    How are you and the boys doing? 

  • How has your day been today? Watching dancing on ice with the girls. Before covid they used to skate 3 times a week and Phil used to be so proud watching them practise and do shows. It's bittersweet watching it as makes me think of happy times but so sad he'll never see them skate again. 

    Hope your day has been ok.

  • Hi, how are you doing? I'm just sitting watching telly at daft o'clock as can't sleep. Been a strange day. Cried quite a bit. 

    Hope you and the boys are doing ok.
