Maybe it's the time of year? End of summer, children and grandchildren off to school or uni.
Anniebach you'll feel better soon. You have your nice new house now. I bet you can find some positive activities to pour your energy and kindness into to fill the gaps left by the homeless centre and labour party. sunshine

Put on some jolly music instead!

Anniversaries always evoke memories and are so hard when you have been bereaved. It may have been long ago, but I am guessing that it feels like yesterday to you. You have had a house move this year and that is incredibly stressful and leaves its mark for a good while to afterwards.

I feel angry when I hear that mental health drop in centres have closed - it is so short-sighted.

I do not know how you can resolve the burial decision, but I can see where you are coming from. I know it sounds irrational, but if it matters to you then it is important.

Take care - tomorrow is another day.

I don't have any words of comfort but I know what it is to feel lost and empty. flowers

Next year would have been our golden wedding . Because he has been dead for so long I am troubled thinking about him. He is five years older than my grandson .

I am now thinking I will not be interred in the same grave, an oldie with a young man . Yes I know we will both be dead but still it makes me uncomfortable .

I did tell younger daughter I thought this, the darling said -
I love watching The Ghost and Mrs Muir because I have always thought the end of that film would be like you and daddy after you die .

I have to decide , my health isn't great .

Do I feel like this because this year there has been so many changes , no mental health drop in centre , no political meetings , grandchildren all moving away this month.have no contact now with my three sisters.

So silly, I feel lost , empty.
This is what comes on listening to Billy Ekstine !
