Hello. I am truly sorry for the loss of your wife. You must still be in shock , let alone grieving for your lovely lady. Im really glad you have made contact- GOT is a fine place and so supportive when folk need it. Keep checking in. On a...

No need for apologies here, our friend Karl’s (aka Messymascot) hope was that this thread would become a virtual coffee shop, although he hated coffee! This is exactly what it has become, a place to meet friends, share hopes, memories, worries...

Morning Pilks, welcome to this fine upstanding thread on the greatest little spot on the internet. I will remember Janet and you in my prayers but know that on here we all have your back.

Well @Pilks whether you intended to or not you have helped a few on here I think .I too do the graft and the wife the finances and I suspect quite a few on here might be in the same boat . It is frightening to face life as you have to now but...

Whoa ,how you must feel I have no idea ,you have taken the first steps by opening up and sharing .There are a multitude of people you can go to seek help but on here we will never judge just try to help . I have the honour of putting @Barnfred 55...

There’s no need for any apologies in here mate. I too am a full time carer for my wife who has acute Alzheimer’s and is unable to communicate or do anything for herself as well as having incontinence as a result. I know I’m going to go through...

Hi all. Thanks for inviting me in here, I spoke with @Barnfred 55 earlier, who was telling me what a great place it is for support Some of you might have seen my post about my wife. Short summation: she passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on...

My heart bleeds for him ,if there is a small good out of this kind of news it is for you to realise how well you have coped yourself and how strong you have remained ,if you could bottle it it is the best thing he could ever get . I hope the...

This as well. Live in Liverpool but work in Manchester/Oldham/Blackpool/Fleetwood most days so if you're anywhere between I can swing by if you need anything. Shopping, some help with stuff around the house, a natter, whatever. Just message me...

@Pilks , desperately sorry to hear of your loss. I have a dozen friends, husbands and wives, who used to meet up several times a week in our local. Last year, five of their partners died two wives in very similar circumstances to your own. We all...

Life can be so cruel. No words are gonna help, it's gonna be long process. Try to make sure you eat properly (i know it can be difficult) and keep talking to people. Are you from Liverpool? . If you feel like you can't go out is there anything...

Wow! 30 years married and you had the strength to keep your vows and help her through her disability in her recent life as her Carer. You are more of a man than a lot of people out and about there. I doff my cap to you and offer you my sincerest...

You are doing well; as a man, you're opening up and that's half the battle in our world. But, in a bout of tough love (welcome to Manville) I'd suggest a better method is doing it with "real" people...as they say, never self-medicate via the...

Sorry if this doesn't belong (not an Ale House topic maybe), but I wanted to reach out to a group of like minded Blues who I have enjoyed interacting with for over a decade now Last night (Monday), my wife died suddenly and rather unpleasantly...

I immediately thought of you when I read it x
