Thanks to all you Julyers for the condolences you expressed and for the help you’ve given me along the way by being my sounding board. You helped me through a lot of sad and difficult situations. I am grateful.
Now I’m experiencing something that no one can help me with....as no one can fill the hole in my heart. I am aware being old as I am I was lucky to have many, many years with my Husband. Of course I’m thankful for that.
The flip side is having someone by your side through thick and thin, hope and despair, who was always loving and supportive is very hard thing to get used to not having...I don’t expect to. I will grieve for him and miss him for the rest of my life. Hope I’m making sense. It’s hard to put into words how my loss feels, but I wanted to try...
I Do find solace in my DH’s peaceful passing. That’s the one comfort I have.
Just wanted to say hello to you all.
Stay safe and be kind.

Agree with all the words said, Croutie. You are a part of our class here. You’ve shared so much, so please don’t think we don’t want to hear or it’s too much. But just do what suits you.
The void that you feel is natural and we grieve in our own ways. When you come here, our arms are open. I loved reading your words on how much your dear husband meant to you. I’m glad for you and he that he did pass peacefully, that seems like it is a solace for you and I agree. Hugs to you our dear friend. Love to you.
And love to all.xx

All ok Snoozy, how did you guess? It was fish and chip Wednesday again. 
Hope all is well with you love.
Normanby Country Park has re-opened so we’ll be having a gander round there and feed the ducks when the pollen has settled down. They’re only letting so many people in at a time so should be plenty of space.
Take care and be safe everyone. xxxx

Hello Dear Julyers,
Croutie, I am so glad you posted. My heart breaks for you. Grief is so terribly painful. You think you will never survive, nor even be able to breathe sometimes, it's so overwhelming. I found seeing a grief counsellor and joining a bereavement group helped, but each to his/her own. I still talk to my husband all the time, I find it comforting. I promise you, there will come a time when you will look at photos of your husband and smile, more than cry, when you remember again all the happy times you shared. It will take time, but please try and be good to yourself.I dearly hope all your friends and family are fully supporting you at this difficult time.
Much love, L

Dear Leshar, thank you so much for your heartfelt post. I am so sorry that you have had to suffer the pain of losing your Husband. It’s such a feeling of despair and heartache. Having lost my Son 5 years ago and now my Husband, I really can’t take anymore sadness. I’m just overwhelmed with grief; I know you understand.
you really touched my heart and I appreciate it..
Hello all you kind Julyers...

I thought I posted the other day, but maybe I didn’t. Thank you for posting, Croutie and Leshar. Thank you also, and everyone else, for sharing some of our raw pain. I wish so much I could give you all a hug during these times. We are together in spirit. Love to all. And may happy memories bring some comfort although bittersweet.xx

Hello everybody.
Toby is doing just fine now. The hot spots are just about all healed up.
Been having some really nice weather here. Not too hot spring days to enjoy. My daughter has been proof reading for people online and making good money doing that as well as being a reporter for a small local newspaper.
I hope her eyes hold out, lot of reading and writing.
I've been fixing brakes on vehicles and doing yard work. You know, the ole man stuff.
Don't have any hockey,baseball, basketball or any of that to watch. Been watching a lot of youtube vids.
And preparing for our next civil war. But, maybe cooler heads will prevail. Over and out.

My final arty thing for the semester (which finishes in 2 days)..it is a technical [project in learning various techniques- to display a negative mood. Apparently I show good improvement, but there is still stuff to do...
My prayers and support to all.

So do I....
I guess I am feeling pretty blessed right now Bob that Aussie Rules football started back up....and my team kicked butt in a very meaningful match-up for me.
The day before my dad died, the Saints played the Doggies and we were 53 points down, and my sister turned off the game. Dad was in a very bad way, and I somehow knew what was going to happen, and I asked her to turn it back on. I told her we were going to win....they would do it for dad. And they did.....with my dad finding the strength to sort of yell out "Go Rooey"....(he was the captain and hero footballer).
I messaged the team a few day later and told them....it was very emotional all around. My dad was a member of that club for over 60 years. And I still am now.
