Very sorry re your loss.:(

Having thought about your post I can easily adding as regrets not telling my mum, dad and brother how much I loved them as they have all passed away.:(

Most of us take too much for granted.

Thanks for sharing

I regret being hopeless at keeping in touch with friends.

I have very few long-term friends.

So sorry to hear this Sammie. I lost my wife very suddenly and so I understand your struggle. There's a widows' thread (widowers also welcome) that will give support if you ever feel the need to talk with others who have been through the same. Here's a link :https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5783313/self-help-thread-i-am-a-widow-coping-getting-on-with-it.
Meanwhile, take each day at a time. I wish you all the best

So sorry you feel so bad.
But I'm sure - as candygirl says - he knew.

Do you have support from other family and friends?
Do you have help in dealing with the myriad of 'stuff' that has to be done?
Sorry if I'm speaking out of turn (and sorry to the OP for hijacking the thread).

I see you have a thread going.
There's a long running thread on the Old Style board that you might find supportive.


ETA - the link to the thread is provided in reply #38. I missed it.

Not managing to achieve a good work/life balance and ending up with a number of strokes. Wish I had listened to both my wife and doctor.

Sounds fascinating and something which I wouldn't mind doing - will have to look into it

I've made a few mistakes, but they made me who I am. I don't regret anything.

My biggest regrets are being too busy to send a very dear friend a text message to see how she was. Although she was unwell she died suddenly and I never got to say goodbye or tell her how much her friendship meant to me. It’s nearly 5 years on and I miss her every day.
Another was not telling someone in my past who I fell hook line and sinker for how much he meant to me. It was a while ago but my god it still hurts. Moral of the story- tell those you care about what they mean to you as you never know when they might be taken away
