Mr Mouse sadly lost his short battle with cancer 2 days ago.

I am absolutely heartbroken and lost and missing him so badly.

Will this pain ever stop?

Far too quick, far too young.
I'm so, so sorry. Flowers

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's so terribly unfair.
I remember your holiday thread and I'm so glad you got to have your wedding day.
You and your family will be in my thoughts.

ghostmouse, may I send you a hug, and share some wise words that my church minister said to me when my husband died suddenly aged 36?
He said “Don’t let his death be more than his life”.
In other words, don’t let the shock and grief of his death block out all your happy memories of the love you shared - you still have all of those, and nothing can take those away.
In time, the pain will ease and become more bearable, I promise, even though it doesn’t feel like that right now.
And as I often say to the newly widowed, there is comfort in the words carved in stone beside the Water of Leith in Edinburgh:
“Grief is not forever. But love is.”
May God hold you in His hands and console you until you and your husband are reunited in heaven.
