    The thing is, zIa, that this thread is a thread for people who may have problems with their physical and /or mental health that may make them feel very vulnerable, and for people who can offer help and support.

    Could I ask you to read the first 2 or 3 posts at the start of the thread, and then you will see what I mean.

    One of the main things we try to do on here is to accept that a person's problems are very real to them, and are affecting their lives, and so we do not want to be judgemental or critical, but rather to try to be helpful, even if it's only to be a listening ear.

    Judgement and criticism has its place in Discussion Time, but not here. :A

    OK, explanation accepted. Admit I didn't read start of thread.

    Will remove my comments from previous posts.

    Thanks, z1a. I can't help as I'm not board monitor in these parts.

    I didn't see your original posts but thank you very much for removing them. I do understand that it might be a good idea to remove the board monitor thing, though. :)

    Torry - I am so sorry. I wish I could find the original quote, but I know that your lovely husband is living through you, and he is still touching all our hearts and lives through you. :heart:
    I was a board guide here for many years, but have now resigned. Amicably, but I think it reflects very poorly on MSE that I have not even received an acknowledgement of my resignation! Poor show, MSE.

    My husband is gone and cannot live through me or in any other way either, that's why it hurts so much. There is nothing of him here anymore. All I have are memories which are painful
    Lost my soulmate so life is empty.

    I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

    Those memories are very painful now, Torry.
    Hang on to them, as one day they will be a huge comfort.

    The love your husband gave you was a great gift, and you were blessed. It was wrenched from you and that's why it hurts so much and why there's a whacking great wound.
    But it's still there, in those memories.

    Much as we want to, we can't.
    Only time will do that.


    Torry, My feeling is that you might be helped a lot by the Cruse association.
    Is there a contact near you?

    Torry,

    Its hard when a love one dies. There is a lot of pain and hurt. My ex MIL was like that. She never forgave her husband for dying and leaving on her own.

    There is always going to be firsts over the next year. First birthday, wedding anniversary etc with out him and they will cause you pain. But over time it does lessen.

    How about you give the samaritans a call on 116 123. Its free and they are there for all. I have used them once before when I felt bad. And was alone and needed someone to talk to.

    Yours

    I've already had our anniversary and my birthday which was tough. Today is the day my mum died which was good Friday so Easter is never easy to get through.


    I have called the Samaritans a couple of times, it helps for a little while but then feeling bad afterwards.
