Stormbay,

I am sorry to hear of this tragedy.

I lost my husband in July 2006 and it is a terrble surreal time. I wanted to share this: there is a website that is specifically designed for those who lost their partners. It was started by Kate Boydells who was widowed young and it has a forum, helful tips any much more. please,have a look, as it has helped me enormously, even though nothing helps really

I did sleep last night for 6 hours!!!

That's great news Stormy - sleep is a precious thing. Are you able to go for a walk or something to get your body not just tired but more relaxed, and work off a bit of the tension?
I hope the boss's visit goes okay.

Stormy, Annie, Sarah, Twinks (and anyone else I may have missed) you strong inspirational people! I dont know how I missed this thread as I seem to spend most of my life on this website but I have just read from start to finish and it is sad, strong, wise, oh I just cant think of any other words but it has been an emotional read to say the least.

Stormy, you are doing so well you really are. I wish my Mum had a support network like this when my Dad died really suddenly a few years ago. She went to pieces and practically lost a good 6 months of her life. Even a few years on she says she doesn't really remember anything about it. I learned more about my Dad in that time immediately following his death than I think I ever knew as I had to sort everything out. Also I am an only child so there was no one else to share things with. But we get on with things and cope (even though I had just had a huge battle with depression but thats another story!)

You are coping so well and you seem to be deriving huge comfort from your children and little Grandson.

Love, hugs, prayers and comfort to you.

Hi Stormbay

I have just sat and read this thread from start to finish.

My husband died in June of last year and even now I still find it hard to accept. We have two children aged 3 and 6, it is just so hard to accept that he will never walk back through the front door.

One of the things I have found frustrating is my forgetfullness which seems never ending! I start off doing one task, go to get a coffee and forget what I was doing before.

You are doing so well and should be proud of yourself. I do believe my children have kept me going, just keeping routines going for their sense of security and wellbeing helps.

There is so much I want to say but it's how to say it and not ramble on. Perhaps I will add more later

I am so sorry I missed this post before

I have been truly awestruck by all the love & practical help you have all given to Stormy & Annie and all the others that have suffered such a loss.
You all have my my admiration!

To Stormy & Annie - please have a big hug from me and my best wishes that the future will eventually be something to look forward too.

I cant remember everything I want to say as I read through this post but Stormy I do agree with others that you should still take that holiday (you can take Johns glasses too so he can be with you & I didnt think you mad for keeping them in the glove box either, I think its a lovely idea) I'm glad too that your daughter got off to school ok

I wish I had had somewhere like this when my mum died - I seemed to grieve for so long & i'm sure that that was partially because almost eveyone I knew was grieving too so I couldnt talk to them the way I needed i guess. But that was a long time ago now & time does heal -but you're sick of hearing that - I was!!

love Laine

isnt it sad and amazing so many of us have been through such awful times and yet no one knew. death is such a taboo subject these days. we dont know what to do, we don't know what to say....
its been so heartening here to see people speak up and support each other.

best wishes to everyone who has lost someone. I had a call today to say my father's aunt had died. she was 102! and until recently had led such an active life. I cant begin to understand how those of you who have lost young people can cope with your loss. I admire you all.

Just hope that you have a good sleep tonight Stormy, and all the others who are grieving at the mo.

Another day nearly got through for you - well done :A
