I unexpectedly lost a sibling three weeks ago, it is a very sad time, I wrote but could not deliver the Eulogy, but we tried to celebrate the life, we focused on the happy times and are trying to keep busy!CRV1963- Light bulb moment Sept 15- Planning the great escape- aka retirement!0

Sadly my lovely Husband Mick passed away 3/7 after an eleven and a half month battle with MND. I came home and he had fallen upstairs. I never came to terms with this cruel diagnosis, but hoped that we had much longer together. I am finding it very difficult, I feel lost, but in the same way happy that he didnt get to the final awful stages if that makes sense0

Sheilavw- so sorry about your news, but yes I understand completely your thought, MND is a cruel illness. Words can't convey sentiment well, but in the darkest times recall the good times and focus on loving the life you have, when the crashing waves of grief engulf you let your past happy memories be your rock to cling to.
You are in my thoughts at this sad time.CRV1963- Light bulb moment Sept 15- Planning the great escape- aka retirement!0 -
My condolences Sheilavw, I'm sure we all agree, sometimes the pain of death for a loved one is better than a prolonged illness. But it's always harder for the one left behind.
Crv, is correct memories of good times are so important to keep a positive frame of mind, much as I feel cheated by the sudden death of my hubby, I'm glad we got to share 30 wonderful years.
Look after yourself xxFocus on contribution instead of the impressiveness of consumption to see the true beauty in people.0 -
