Things that make you blub - unexpectedly

The hymn Jerusalem. I can't hear it or sing it without tearing up.

Quite embarrassing at our wedding, as that was one of our hymns!

MadeinYorkshire - sorry for your loss, you must be so sad.
I think that you are right about the three robins, they are very territorial and rarely seen in groups.

Hellogirl I'm so sorry for your loss too 🌹💔

MadeInYorkshire so very sorry to hear of the death of your daughter.

So much dad news on here (((hugs))) to you all who are grieving .

My daughter died unexpectedly on Thursday, I cannot stop blubbing, I am heartbroken ....

There are no words are there ? Cannot imagine your turmoil, amazed you have been strong enough to post so soon, shows you must need to reach out, hope your family are being supportive.

What a dreadful thing to happen - MadeInYorkshire. I am so sorry..

Last post for me too

Madeinyorkshire. I am so sorry for your loss. Have you got lots of support? X

Condolences to all those on here with such sad losses.

The thing that reduces me to tears every time is the poem "Strange Meeting" by Wilfred Owen. If you don't know it already, please read it and see if you can get through it without tears. It's so appropriate now in this time of war
.

This post has me crying now!
I often wake up crying, I think because covid changed everybody’s lives and shook the way we expected to live and now nothing can be taken for granted.
That is in itself a good thing but it’s harder to embrace when you’re past retirement age.

MadeinYorkshire and Hellogirl, my heart goes out to both of you.

My heart goes out to you, MadeInYorkshire, like some others, I can empathise with your sorrow, having lost a daughter too. Time will help, which is probably no comfort to you right now, but it is true.

Made in Yorkshire I am heartbroken for you. This is just the saddest thing. My most sincere condolences on your dreadful loss

HelloGirl1
I so sorry for this awful news. It’s unimaginable to lose a child, you have my most heartfelt condolences.

I cannot imagine anything worse to endure, MadeinYorkshire, my heart goes out to you. x

Should have replied to the original question but somehow did not feel appropriate after my last post.
So, for me it has to be "Nimrod " when played at the Cenotaph each November, I refuse to listen to it any other time as the first few bars and I am gone, blubbering wreck !
There are a few others but Nimrod is worse than dicing Spanish onions.

So sorry for your loss Made in Yorkshire, I lost my son suddenly last year, never thought that a person could feel that much pain. What else can I say ?

Made in Yorkshire, Barmyoldbat, Hellogirl1 and all other GNrs who have lost their beloved Children 🙏🙏🎉🎉💔💔💔💔.There are no words XXX.
As to what makes me cry- these days absolutely anything!!

Sorry, some of those emojis were meant to be flowers 😓😓

MadeinYorkshire and Hellogirl so sorry for you. Terrible, unimaginable pain you'll be feeling. Yes, we seem to have robins accompany us on walks after each of our close family losses. They are so bold and follow along on walks for hours at a time it seems.

Little children being happy or sad make me cry and the thought of anything happening to them. Plus various music, Chasing Cars affects me too. Looking back at sad life circumstances seem to get me now too, though I lived through them with determination and some anger at the time. I'd like to give myself as a child and teenager, before I escaped to university (thank the lord for full grants), a big hug. Plus maybe a few quid for the necessary things I needed then but couldn't afford!

It takes alot to make me cry, and I am sick of weeping willows who cry at the drop of a hat. Totally undignfied conduct. I love watching "Strictly" but when I see them well up I want to throttle them. I am the stiff upper lip type, and it seems I am a dying breed. The film "Haichi The Dog" made me nearly cry, but it is a true story. Don't like weeping willows. They make me want to scream "man up"

MadeinYorkshire I am so very sorry to hear the sad news of your beloved daughter. Sending hugs and love to you. xxx❤

Hellogirl so sorry to hear you have also suffered a tragic loss, of your son. So awful for you. Sending you love and hugs too at this very sad time. xxx❤

Can’t say anything because I’m crying for you and your daughter Made in Yorkshire.
