As others have said, I don't really know what to say - but am thinking of you and your girls.

YG, you are some woman - very few of us have met you, and yet look at the impact you are having on us, and how much you are in our thoughts. I don't know what you are going through, but I know that the girls are very lucky to have a mum like you. Take very good care of you, I think you sound like someone very special.

I hope you got through today and choosing the headstone OK, YG.

Yorkie, that sounds lovely!! Really smart and ... well, classy.

I hope some of the minging ones made you smile!

Have only just caught up on this, don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. It must be incredibley hard for you. Sending you lots of hugs xx

{{{{{hugs}}}}}}

Oh, I'm thinking of you YG.

A friend of mine went through the same thing earlier this year - she was amazing too, really amazing they way she sat at a girls dinner and chatted and laughed about her dh and the things he said and did, how he'd react to something that had happened to her recently.

I just cannot imagine what you are going through but you seem so strong. Of course you will miss him so much - I'm sorry that you have to go through all this hurt.

It sounds lovely, YG (that feels an odd thing to say but ykwim) - simple definitely better than some of the alternatives, I imagine.

My best friend's Dad died recently and she went with her siblings and her Mum to choose flowers for the funeral - she said they got to the back of the book and there were pictures of more, er, elaborate offerings - including a giant poodle made of flowers. Someone started giggling - you know when you shouldn't laugh but you can't help it and the more you try and repress it the worse it gets? Before long they were all crying with laughter...the florist looked a little puzzled, to say the least.

(Someone will come along now and say they like floral poodles...)

Hello to everyone.I found this site by accident and although i am now nanny to 3 i thought maybe sometimes i would be able to offer some sound advice from my lifes experiences.I know how difficult it can be when life throws a load of problems your way..I have the experience of havin my own kids... now the three wonderful grandchildren,along the way there have been bereavments and all the normal everyday things that we all go through.if i can help, dont hesitate to ask.

YG, ahve been thinking of you today, sweetheart.

The headstone you've chosen sounds perfect - I just wish you'd not had to choose it for decades

Hugs to you and the girls x x x x

[inappropriate LOL at floral poodle - sorry]

The headstone sounds perfect YG; glad you found something that was right for you and DH.

YG, am thinking of you today, and praying for you too. I am really sorry if I ignored the fact of Nigel's death when we met, I know I said I was sorry, did not know what else to say. It felt strange to me to meet you for the first time so soon after you were bereaved, and I knew so much about it through MN, and not through you, if that makes any sense. Anyway, if I added to you distress at all I am truly sorry.

To echo what many others have said, I think that you are an amazingly strong woman and are coping really well. Choosing a headstone, sorting out his clothes, doing each new thing without him are going to be so hard, I hope that knowing so many people are thinking of you and praying for you will help you every step of the way.

Yorkie. I'm pleased you got the headstone you wanted.

It must be so hard. There will always be good and bad days. Are you having any counselling to help with this?

You and your family have touched me in a way I wouldn't have thought possible for someone I don't know. What touches me too is the way that all these fantastic mners, the majority of whom must also be strangers, are sending love and strength and would do anything they could to ease your pain. I truly hope it helps.
Your choice of headstone sounds beautiful.
I continue to think of you and send love and hugs.

YG

What footie team did your dh support?

You are all still in my thoughts and prayers, Yorkiegirl.

I agree that people crossing the street to avoid you is just awful. As are hopeless attempts at understanding: "I know exactly how you feel, my hamster died last week...".

yorkiegirl, you are so strong. dh would be so proud of you. xxx

NEXT TO YOU
You cannot see or touch me
But im standing next to you
Your tears can only hurt me
Your sadness makes me blue
Be brave and show a smiling face
Let not your grief show through
I love you from a different place
Yet im standing next to you

Take your feelings as they come. They are all important and part of you. Hope that doesn;t sound annoying or irritating.

Will pray for you and the girls.
