"PS. No snow to speak of in Edinburgh - a few heavy snow falls but the ground was too wet for it to settle. Sharp frosts these last few mornings though!"

Lily said… Thank you Maggie for reaching out. Carol and I were together 26 years. We went to Cambridge Massachusetts and got married on May 25th 2004. Marriage is not legal in North Carolina but we felt that we needed to take the opportunity to pave the way for those couples that would hopefully benefit more fully in the future.
My Carol passed away on March 22, 2013. It was sudden and not expected. She was having difficulty breathing and was in a weakened state, we took a trip to the emergency room and within 10 hours she was gone. Cause of death was sepsis. She called out my name, said Help me! Help me! and collapsed. The Drs., nurses, and resutation team did all they could but the Dr. said they could not bring her back. I asked them to stop after many, many minutes because they were hurting here with all the chest compressions etc.
It will be 2 months this Wednesday and though I can now eat, get some sleep & manage to keep the house running somewhat I am grief stricken, just devastated. What I am noticing in the past few days is the silence, no one to talk to me. I am very fragile. Enough for now. Thank you for being here for me.

I would buy the new DVD's as soon as they became available "across the pond". Robin always wanted to visit the England, Scotland and Ireland. I regret we never did.

Hi Maggie. Thank you for friending me. We need all of the friends we can get in this world. I noticed you live in the UK. Towards the end, the only thing that could calm my Robin in the midst of her terrible pain and panic attacks was for me to put in a DVD of a British comedy called "The Last of the Summer Wine".

- Hi Maggie, thanks for getting in touch. I found the festive season very difficult, starting as it did with what would have been Mo's 50th b'day. With hindsight I did too much, but as a friend said (her partner died 18 months ago), you don't know how you'll be till you get there. So I only just feel like I'm getting back to an even keel. But I'm pleased I've started yoga classes again, and they have somehow released me into a deeper kind of sorrow. I'm thinking more about who I lost and the good times and less about the horrible last few years of illness and the end. I've even started to read again. And my sleep is definitely improving too. Up and down, hour to hour ...

Thank you! My life is gone I feel that nothing matters anymore. I just go thru the day no caring, we have two dogs and they are our babies, I think that is the only reason that I am still here becuse they only know Jan and I. Janis left so suddenly that I still think she is going to come thru the door saying I am home like always. I have her ashes with me and I sleep with her urn on her side of the bed, I talk to her and I am still wating for an answer wating to see if she responds in any way. I am sorry, sometimes I just want to die and be with her, I love her so much and I miss her hugs, kisses, and smile. Iam sorry for your loss, and Thank you for talking to me.
