One year ago today.......

Sending you heartfelt sympathy Sue, and a virtual hug. It is so hard for you, but you are doing well to be so positive. x

Oh Sue, it doesn't seem possible that a year has passed. You have chosen his final resting place so well, he would be so proud of you. Thinking of you. xx

Sue, I'm sending you a virtual hug 🫂 too. Can't believe it's been a year since you lost your soul mate.
You've posted a lovely photo of your handsome Derek.
I have liked reading your blog with the memories dedicated to him and the beautiful things planted to remember him by.
I'm thinking of you at this time xx

Oh Sue, my heart goes out to you! I cried when I read your blog.
It is hard and I still feel exactly the same the day my Rick died.
It is strange but you can feel lonely even if surrounded by family or friends.
You had 60 wonderful years together and lots of memories you can think back to.
You have a lovely place where you and all your family can go to remember him and I am sure he will always be there with you.
A lovely picture of Derek.
Sending you lots of hugs and always in my thoughts. xxx

The year has flown by and many more will do the same but the feelings of loss and grief never ease, they are always there in the background.
Sending love and positive vibes to you Sue xxx

what a special place for you to visit and hopefully gain comfort knowing you are close to him. Love and thoughts to you.

I’m so sorry that you lost Derek. Best to think of all the happy times that you spent together, 60years is a good long time. Some people spend that length of time on their own & never marry but that I realise is not a comfort to you at this moment. Thinking of you & sending best wishes. I hope that it will get a bit easier for you in time. X X.

Thankyou for all of your lovely comments, they are a great comfort to me, I was unsure about posting this blog as I didn't want to appear maudlin but then I thought " Don't be daft Sue, you've known and shared with all these friends for a lot of years"... I'm glad I did now....xx

So sorry I was late in responding Sue..
Such a lovely photo of Derek...
A year already, your garden must have been a great help to you over this time.Keep at it!!

Hi Sue, it's so strange not having the person that you shared most of your life with not here with you, its nearly nine months now for me and the feeling of loss never seems to go away, I don't know about you, but I just find it a bit more bearable, then you just get a rotten day, but normally a good bawl sorts it out, as Hywell said in my last blog we will never stop missing them and we just move forward as best as we can xx

I agree with you Davey!

Hello Davey, sometimes it seems like yesterday, you are so right about having a bawling session, I had to have tablets to calm me down when I first lost him and they just froze me, I couldn't cry at all, not even when we were laying him to rest on the day of the funeral, that lasted right up until end of September, then it hit me, now lots of things set me off but thats better than being all knotted up...
