Oh dear - seems I have joined the early morning "sleepless" brigade on T.P. so I am up making endless cups of coffee and copious "lists" of things that must be done and people who must be told about my husband. He hopefully is with the others "up above" with a large gin and tonic in hand, chasing bright young angelic things around the clouds, without a care in the heavens.
Having spent hours, days and months since his hip fracture and post-operative delirium weeping uncontrollably with sadness at his situation I now feel a strange calm and no tears will fall even though I am totally water-logged.
I am going to put my foot down over his Funeral - it is going to be what I would like and when I want it.
Of course it's going to be what you would like, and when you want it. Those non-falling tears are strange things. I've cried more since the funeral than I did during the previous 2 weeks. They'll fall at their own pace.
Any help I can give you in this labyrinth that is Planning A Funeral, please feel free to PM me. xxx
Its certainly getting harder - I think the immediate anaesthetic is beginning to wear off but I've put best foot forward so to speak and booked date and time to register the death, collected the doglet from friend and had a good, long muddy walk on the Downs. Now my turn for a large G & T in front of the fire - anyone going to join me - I'm sorry it will only be cyber.
Tomorrow I will clear out the room at the NH - no doubt that will cause a tear to fall.
Well I'll have a triple, seeing as you're paying! Good positive steps WIFE, that you've booked a date and time, you have to get the Green Form before you can go further. The clearing of the room will be hard, but then it depends what you want.
I only took photos, cards etc, and left everything else for them to send to the charity shop. I know what you mean about the anaesthetic though, but you're doing great, and all your friends on TP are here beside you, as you've been for me. Mr Wife would be very proud of his girl. xxx
Can I have mine later please. Even I can't start the day with G&Tfor breakfast (although when you look at the airport bars full of people taking early morning flights, it would seem that some can!)
