So sad to read of your devastating loss, Shirley.

You sound amazingly brave. Thinking of you tonight and sending love and best wishes. It must be heartbreaking to lose one's husband. Feeling for you in your sad loss XX

Shirley I am thinking of you. My dad also from the Chaney family and died at the end of Feb this year. His first birthday in heaven on Friday. I am still heartbroken and some days ok and some days cant cope. Take each day as they come xx

My mother joined a couple of clubs after dad died and found a couple of old friends she'd lost touch with. All widowed they started going on holidays together and went to countries in Europe they wanted to see before they got too old and infirm. She had 12 years of this before 1 died and mum's knees became too bad.

The first few weeks she didn't do anything then told herself it wouldn't do and as you wrote 1 step to start it off. She had a wonderful time as she had also been restricted for a time with dad's illness. She made a new life for herself, she missed dad for the rest of her life but she had the strength to go on with life and enjoy herself.

Look after yourself Shirley.

Shirley <3 <3 stay strong <3

You are in my thoughts Shirley. A difficult time for you, it is good that you have the support of family and friends.

I was pleased to hear that you were given a rose from the flowers you gave to show your love.

Something special to keep forever.

Take care of yourself and take it one day at a time.

Dear Shirley, you are still in my thoughts. The music you chose for your husband was lovely. Sending my love to you and your family <3 <3

Shirley, I hope you will feel able to get out to different groups or to meet friends so you don't feel isolated but just take a day at a time, you have a lot of adjustments to make. You have been brave and strong and you need to treat yourself gently now.
I am pleased you had someone who knew you and Michael to lead the funeral service, it makes a more comforting atmosphere.

Thinking of you

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

It's ok to feel angry; that's one if the recognised stages of grief.
Give yourself time. Eventually you'll be able to drop his name into conversation without hurting inside <3

Sending love Shirley <3

Take each day at a time. You have wonderful memories to cherish.

Thank you

You think you are only one going through the grief of losing a much loved hubby / family member

The grief is very raw and you think you can't cope or even imagine they have gone cos you didn't want that and they should have known that !!

Losing a loved one is sometimes how dare you cos I didn't give you authority to leave me !!

I know that my M didnt want to go but his brain and body dementia had its own agenda .

My last music for him at his funeral was this. And it was from my heart
