Update

I haven’t posted for 7 months. Life was ticking along , my son and his partner gave us a new grandson. Our daughter planning her wedding in July. I was feeling well and progressing. Then at the end of November life changed for all of us my husband and kids dad suddenly died. I thought a diagnosis of cancer was bad enough...but someone thought get a load of this! We were all together for Christmas and managed to laugh at the things that “dad” would have found funny.

I was at my 3 month clinic appointment today expecting my bloods to be all over the place...but no I’m o.k...a small weight of my shoulders for another 3 months. I will battle onwards no matter what s...t life throws at me.

Love and best wishes to all

Oh Dil, I'm so sad to read the bad news about your husband dying! What a dreadful shock. You're right that life can throw awful s...t at you sometimes and just when life was looking up with a new baby in the family and your Daughter planning her wedding. It sounds as though losing your husband was totally unexpected and can only imagine how you must feel. The thought of losing my husband fills me with horror.

I'm so sorry, I can think of nothing I could say to help you so I'm sending you a great big hug and much love and sympathy, to you and your family. I hope that will soon be able to remember your happy times together without it hurting too much and you can find some comfort in sharing your reminiscences together.

Thinking of you, Solange 💐 (((((((((HUG))))))))

Hi Dil. I was so sorry to hear about the sudden death of your husband. I have some idea what you at all going through having lost my dear mum very suddenly (many years ago). I’m very glad that at least you are still stable health wise so that you can concentrate on your family. My thoughts are with you all. Please remember that we are all here for you if you feel the need to vent your emotions. Love Jo 🌺🌸🌹🌼🌻

I am so sorry for your sad loss, it sounds like you have a lovely family, it’s so good you were all able to look back at the fun times you all had together, I’m sure they’ll continue to support you. Well done on the 3 months clear and long may that continue. Big hugs and lots of love ❤️Xx Jane

...am so sorry....life can be a bummer. It seems to me we can really only enjoy the day we have. I guess we are lucky to be living in a time when people live longer than they used to and accidents are reduced; but it doesn't feel like that. My family and myself have certainly had our share of bad luck....but a fair amount of good luck too. Do hope your children and yourself can continue to pull together and remember all the good times....keep strong for them....love Chris xx

Hi Dil, I am so sorry to hear about your husband's sudden death. I understand how you are feeling as my husband died last March (of bowel cancer) and you just think 'what more can I take', but you just do! A month after he died our 3rd grandchild (2nd grandson) was born, then our eldest daughter was married in Italy in September and our 4th grandchild (another boy) was born in December. It's REALLY difficult sometimes, wishing we had shared these moments but life has to go on. Sending massive hugs (I'm so pleased your bloods were good so you can forget about that for now) and I hope cuddles with your grandson helps, it certainly helps me. ❤ xxx

I’m sorry to read your post, life certainly has its challenges at times doesn’t it and can seem incredibly unfair. You sound like a strong person and have a lovely supportive family which I’m sure has been a great comfort. Take care. Jo xxx
