  1. So very sorry Sandy, my heart goes out to you. How wonderful that you and all the family could be there with your husband when he passed. I am sure he knew how well you loved him.

    I thought the idea of the "love letters" was a wonderful one. So often people don't know how to express themselves at sad times like these and often end up just not saying anything.

    I wish you and your family peace and comfort.

  2. Sparrow,

    I know that some people think I should have "been over it" by now too, however, it is just as the other's have said, you "never do" and "never will". Just let the grief come out and the more you do that the more able you will be to carry on. Paddy

  3. Peggy,

    I have just read this post and hadn't realized before how close we came to losing you! I am so glad you decided to stay!

    I have not see any time-limit on using the "grieving section," and I would think it a shame if there were one. As we helped each other through the caregiving we can but try, to help each other through the stages of grief. I am sure there will come a time when we will all go on with our lives, but in the meantime it is good to know the forum is here for us.

  4. Congrats Peggy, I am glad it went well. It was very brave of you to go.

    Now that I have moved to MI, I don't have any of the familiar places to go to. I have missed going to the Outback with my husband too, It used to be our favorite haunt. We always ordered the ice-cream, rolled in coconut and topped with chocolate sauce and straw-berries! What was it called?!! We used to share one, and then Dave would cheat and steal some from my side! I miss those evenings out.

    It's ironic, but it is often the happiest of memories which bring the tears for me.

    Love, Paddy
