I know how you feel. I am trying to stay positive, but it is so hard. It is an emotion that you can't explain, except to those who have gone through it. Stay strong, I will put you in my prayers this evening. Hello Doreen,

My partner passed away on July 19/09, one month ago today. I know how you feel. I am trying to stay positive, but it is so hard. It is an emotion that you can’t explain, except to those who have gone through it. Stay strong, I will put you in my prayers this evening.

Tomorrow would have been Ollie's 60th birthday and on 30th June will be his first anniversary. We will enter his ashes that day. I am trying to keep brave and positive, but it has been such a very tough year, I feel very low really. It is as if these last few weeks before his first anniversary are the last rays of the sun before it disappears, the 'this time last year we were.......'. I could never have guessed in a million years that I would be in this position now. In this year I know that I have been very centred in my grief - it has been a coping mechanism. He just died on a perfect summer evening playing tennis with his tennis partner of 25 years. No warning, no pain, no illness of any kind. He just died. He left me with our little import company to run in these terrible economic conditions and I have floundered, trying so hard, working against my rather fragile, feeble nature. It has just been tough. So now I reach almost a year. And to remember that he is not far away is such a comfort. But it does not seem to help the awful loneliness I feel most of the time. Thank you for this blog. It is so good to share this. Maggie P That poem is lovely. Tomorrow would have been Ollie’s 60th birthday and on 30th June will be his first anniversary. We will enter his ashes that day.

I feel for you. I remember so well how those first few months were. My husband has been gone for a year now (June 2). I am so sorry for your loss. Please believe me when I say that time will help. You will have ups and downs but you must have faith in yourself that you can do this. You will be in my thoughts and prayers tonight. Anna, this is a wonderful poem. It is amazing how the right words mean so much. Oh Doreen. I feel for you. I remember so well how those first few months were. My husband has been gone for a year now (June 2).
