Hi Chris, not sure whether we have 'chatted' in the past but welcome back. I am sure everyone understands your absence. They say everything has its time, and perhaps now is the time to come back to the 'fold' and share your memories and thoughts. Take care- jl

Chrissie, my deepest sympathy on your sad loss and for all the troubles and worries you have had to deal with recently. I hope you will find strength to get by but remember you can always offload on here and there will be someone around to listen and offer a cyber shoulder.

Take care of yourself, treat yourself kindly

Yes,it is nice to see you back.
I have found loads of support since losing my husband 2 years ago
It takes some adjusting to a life alone,and initially there are so many issues that are to be addressed that it is hard and time consuming.
It does get a bit easier,but you may find that talking to your friends on here goes a long way to adapting to a life again.
As others have said,come and have a chat ,there are a lot of nice people on here.

Chris it is good to see you back on here. I am so sorry to hear about the death of your husband and also your own illness.

As T Sun says take your time, grieving affects everyone differently and you need time to adjust.

There are many people on here who will give you up port hen you need it. Come on here when you need a chat. <3

Hello Chris - welcome back - things are still very raw for you and will be for some time, but gradually things will ease - grief takes people in many different ways - talking on here to people who care may help ease the process. Many of us have been in your position and know what it feels like, so keep popping in to have a chat

Much love, Ann XX

Chris, take your time and there is no need to apologise for anything. There are a few people on here that have been through everything you are going through now.

Greiving is a long, slow process but you will survive it. My heart goes out to you.

Come on here whenever you feel you want to talk, it's sometimes easier to talk to someone you don't actually know personally. <3
