I know it's early days but being in our house on my own is very lonely |

Shirley, you're still in the early stages of grief. Please don't expect a sudden change as it takes quite a while for the raw pain to soften. Some 'experts' suggest that first year is the hardest; after then you'll be able to look back on your life together with love and fondness rather than out and out sadness. |

you'll get there Shirley - it does take time - took me over a year before I could talk about him without weeping, but I kept talking about him and still do even though it's now over thirteen years ago - but I no longer cry - music is usually the trigger for me and that's when I play CDs in my car - he was in arguably the top Welsh Male choir, Pendyrus, and I have many of their CDs, so they usually can set me off |

Shirley has everyone has said its very early days, I was told not to make any big decision for at least a year I passed this on to my friend when she lost her husband and wanted to sell her house has soon has but she delayed it for three years when she was really ready. I had a very good friend and all I wanted to do for the first couple of years was talk about him, he still comes up sometimes and it is now nearly twenty years you are very well Shirley just take a day at a time |

It's good to know that the church was so supportive to Michael Shirley - he would be comforted by that. |

Shirley, you will get good days and low days, but this is the worst time of year for coping, with short daylight days, and bad weather making it difficult to get outside. I hope you will find those contact details from the church useful and will also encourage visitors to call sometimes. |
