Thoughtful Friends
33 Answers
Today is the anniversary of my husband`s death. The week in hospital before he died was horrendous and I have very painful memories of what happened to him.
Yet today I feel happy. I have had cards, flowers and "thinking of you" messages from friends. Doesn`t thoughtfulness give you a lift?

Thank you all for the wishes, kisses and hugs. Made me a bit tearful as did putting red roses on his grave.
He died four years ago but the hospital inquiry and inquest took almost two years and certainly lengthened the grieving process.
Yes, he would want me to be happy. He always did and his last words to me as he died were funny.
Too cold outside today so am now wallpapering the dining room and remembering the "this will lead to divorce" banter when we decorated together.
And yes DT, I can still find things to tell him off for!

Glad it`s lifted you too Kiki. I have been taken out every night this week to make sure I don`t dwell. When he knew he was dying he apologised for leaving me but said he was comforted by knowing I would be cared for by our friends. I hope it has made me more caring of them. Well, except the eejit who said my cooking was lousy!
