We can't great auntL we have to cope with it when it happens or we would spend our lives looking over our shoulder and not enjoying life when we can. My sincere condolences to you and I hope things get better for you with time flowers

My darling husband of 44 years died about five weeks ago. He had been poorly for a number of years but no one got the message through to me just how poorly he was.

No one before he died nor just after could or did warn me of this horrible feeling I am going through. Why oh why can we not be prepared for this sense of emptiness. We had no children, our lives were we two. Now I look at his empty chair. I cannot explain how I feel. I just want my Bob back. But know this cannot be so.

How can anyone prepare for this nightmare.
