I know you will send me off to bereavement - but I lurk and respond in relationships so I feel safe here.
On 21st December 1981 I married DH.
He died in August 2001 - with little notice of stage 4 cancer.
No children - so only me.
I miss him so much!
After all this time I can't make my heart stop crying for him at this time of year.
I have booked a cottage to go to see my biological family on 20th December - but we are all widowed. Honestly - this is not a Friday night story!
Eldest sister widowed - 1999 (aged 52 years)
Me widowed - 2001 (aged 46 years)
Youngest sister widowed - 2011(aged 55 years)
Today is the anniversary of a younger brother's funeral (died aged 52 years last year)
I feel so bereaved - yet I am trying to wrap christmas parcels.
I miss my husband and my BILs. I miss my Dad.
I know what you will ask - I do have one RL friend but I have to take him to hospital on 5th January to be checked out for throat cancer.
My other RL friends are around the globe. I have spoken to them by phone tonight - so I think I am doing everything appropriate in order to seek RL support.
