Hi. my Eddie passed away 6 months ago. he also had his toy. It was an MGA roadster. He had restored it over the last few years and only drove it a few times. I wanted to pass it onto our grandson aged4yrs, Eddie always said It was an expensive hobby and needed regular maintenance. After he died we tried to start it and it flooded. Then I decided to sell it after 6 weeks. Our garage is now full of all sorts of things. The day it went was hard but I have not regretted it. I have many photos of it and the previous car he restored. I have not missed it I couldn't get out of it. Sitting so low was not for me. I miss Eddie every day but the car means nothing to me. It went to London so I will never see it locally.

It is 1 month now since my Eddie died and I am worse now than ever. I cry all day when I am alone. My youngest daughter is 35yrs and says she is mising her dad so much. I cant help her because i cant help myself. I cant immagine this ever getting any better. I am going on a coach trip to Scotland at the weekend with Christine my best friend. I am worried when I come home that Eddie not here will make it worse. On sat I woke up with the stomache ache and I cried because Eddie wasnt here to get my hot water bottle. Now I am sobbing again. If anyone is in the same position as me and wants to e mail me please do annwaistell56@tiscali.co.uk

hi Jackie. my husband died on the 23 feb. Very close to yours..I got Eddie out of hosp 3 days before he died. It was very hard looking at him getting weaker. I am dreading my birthday this month. i have his card from last year and I will be putting it up as I know he would want to wish me a happy birthday even though it won't be. Yesterday I had to look after my 4 year old grandson who is poorly with a cold. I never thought of eddie all day and I felt very guilty at the end of the day but I was totally exhausted. We bought a new car from Petch's and it has had problems since the day we bought it. Now I am left to sort it and they are not being helpful at all. My husband was in the motor trade and would have put it right himself had he been stronger. I feel so helpless. So much has broken in this house since he died. A The toilet flush broke. the upstairs toilet leaked. I cant believe time helps. Annx

Dear Min and Gill It has helped me to hear your stories. A lot of people do not know what pain a MM victim goes through. Eddie hid his often even from me. I am lucky one of my daughters lives next door to me with her husband and my grandson Daniel. He is 4yrs. One day we couldn't find something and Daniel said text Grandad and ask him where it is. Later he said text Grandad and say we found it. I wish i could. It didn't upset me to hear this. I have my dog Lucy. She was a rescue dog and bites non family members. She is now my protector. Eddie never liked her in the sitting room but she knows he's gone and just wanders in bold as brass. At the moment I don't care about anything. I hate getting up on a morning because the house is so empty. Eddie restored an MGA which is now sitting in the garage. None of us knows how to start it. His garage is full of tools all arranged neatly.He has left so much of himself behind.

dear Gill Reading your letter, I could have written it myself. Everything you say is how I feel. Robbed of my best friend. My life started when we met and ended when we parted on 23rd feb. My eddie died at home and the marie curie nurse sat with us. She was amazing. I cannot mention Eddies name without crying and am crying as I write this. I cant see this pain ever going away only getting worse. I cant look round the shops without thinking whats the point of buying that Eddie isn't at home to show it to. I feel trapped in a nightmare.

hi there My husband was diagnosed in 2006. had several treatments, the longest only lasting 18 months. He is now taking Revlimid 25. Three weeks on and one week off. Dexamethazone for the first 4 days. He is doing well on this treatment but has terrible hot and cold sweats. he says it is like icy water running down his hot skin.It has been a rollercoaster ride. He has had a fractured sternum, 2 cracked ribs and currently multiple fractures of the vertebrae. Has anyone else had problems with sweating?
