I hope your dad's funeral is a great celebration of his life. Good luck and keep strong for your dad

Love from Gill

Dear Rachel

I don't very often look at the under 50s site but having done so tonight I would like to add my sincere sympathy to you for your loss. mm is so unforgiving and spiteful. My husband died on the 11th September He was 57 and considered young to die from mm But being wiped out at Paul's age is unbelievable.

Much love Gill xxx

Thank you for that Dai

It was very much one that both Stephen and I loved It maybe explains my smart red hat and purple pashmina. I still have a purple dress ordered for his funeral but unpacked and unworn as it seemed a bit over the top. (we were both a bit non conformist but there are certain things that one does not do and dresses are not my…[Read more]

As somebody who lost the light of their life in September I send you my heartfelt sympathy

Thank you for sharing it.

Dear GAil and Sue

I am sorry I have not noticed your posts. I have been so consumed with Stephen's turn for the worst and death that I have not really been with it at all.

I do hope you are both coping and managing yo come to terms with the loss.

Kind regards Gill

Well there will be no mistaking you! So good that you have had the conversation with your wife – I think she may be right about the short shorts though:0)
I sent a smiley photograph and a short story about my husband with him to the undertakers so that they could meet the man he used to be. They contacted me expressing what a good idea they…[Read more]

Hi Toma,

Have you decided what you are going to wear? You got me thinking about this same conversation I had with Patrick before he died. He said "just wrap me in an old sheet" I replied " when you arrive at the pearly gates wearing what looks like a toga you might be a tad under-dressed!" we thought this was very funny.
I love your labels…[Read more]

Hello Gill,

I confused humanist with celebrant too! But actually now I really think about it the chap that read out my eulogy was an ex priest who left the fold many many years before and ran the Woodland Burial Park. He was super cool, extremely understanding and carried out all my wishes for the ceremony without any raised eyebrows. The…[Read more]

Dear Gill,

I am so glad that you will have some family with you for support at this difficult time. I had a humanist funeral for Patrick too at a Woodland Burial Park and was proud to write the eulogy myself including many funny stories which bought laughter and rememberance of a much loved man. I love your choice of music, I'm sure that would…[Read more]

Dear Gill,

You have been in my thought over the past few days and after your last post I knew the time was very close for Stephen. Try to take heart that he is no longer in pain and suffering the anguish this disease brings. You clearly shared a wonderful relationship and Stephen loved you very much he may have left you in body but you will…[Read more]

Dear Gill,

I am so very very sorry to hear of your news, I do relate to the situation as this is what happened to Patrick. I believe amongst the gibberish and confusion Stephen will have moments of lucidity therefore please keep talking to him I am sure he will take in some of what you are saying. He will be made comfortable and will no doubt…[Read more]

Hi Gill,

My late husband suffered badly with hypercalcaemia and recieved Zometa on a regular basis. From what I understand it is not used unless a necessity because of the cost which is high. Pamidronate and other biophoshpates are usually tried first.

Best Wishes

Tina
