Suze cos thats my name and 43 cos thats how old i was... not anymore sadly but so what? im 43 forever now!
Gem, when i read the post on Sunday on FB i was totally staggered and had to read it several times for it to sink in. I know what youre going thru and the hell you find yourself in.. im not going to say its gets easier with time.. cos for me the pain is still there.. but it gets easier to live with. Neil was a lovely man, always had time for a chat, and had this ability to make you feel welcome and wanted. Take strength from those closest to you.. dont be afraid to ask for help, people want to help and will do all they can. You will certainly find out who your real friends are! Much love Gem and stay as strong as u can xxx
Wow 10 yrs.... can u please put me down as a possible.. bit of a way ahead and i dont generally plan things in advance but i would like to come to this!

Hi and thank you for the messages. I doubt there are many ppl here who remember me - it has been a long time. I miss the heady days of munches, socials and chatting - kinda compartmentalised them into my Bart memories. Great times spent with great people. Life is different now - took me a long time to get used to being single. It's ok just different! Just to let you know yr in my thoughts!!

omg this is just terrible news, Bart and I went to a couple of Bristol socials a few years ago. I cant believe it and im sorry for Mrs Somers, i know what she is going thru and its sheer and utter hell. There really are no words to express my sadness...
Why do the good ones have to go so soon??

Missing Bart so much its so painful. I cant do everything by myself, tried to go outside to tidy up the garden and actually vomitted picking up the dog shit. God im such a bloody wuss! Having to do the house, walk the dogs, go shopping and entertain my youngest all by myself.... i just cant do it! My heart is too heavy. Missing Bart cooking me poached eggs on toast on a Sat morning, feeling lonely, hopeless and simply alone. Dont see the point anymore...

Reading a good book atm "The five people you meet in heaven" - kinda apt at the moment

Its over.... the funeral was today and it was beautiful yet heartbreaking. Went exactly as i wanted it to and i stood up and paid a personal tribute to my man. I think he would have been both touched and proud. Its been a long day, and a long 19 days since he left and im very glad its over.
Going to pick up his ashes in a day or two and then to decide what to do with them.. it can wait a bit think...
Rest In Peace Darling....

Walking around Asda doing the shopping and hearing Run by Snow Patrol which bart always sang. Just openly sobbed my heart out and didnt care a jot!

Been to see Bart today, it was so scary, he looked like a model of bart.. his face looked good, like he was sleeping.... but his hands were white and cold. I touched his face, his hair, his body and i kissed him. I loved him so much..
Ive found texts on his phone... did he love me? Or was i being used? Its so fucking frustrating cos ill never know the answer. Why am i having so many doubts? Why did i put up with so much shit? If i had found these texts beforehand, i would have thrown him out cos it had happened time and time again. Maybe he got his comeuppance? Why is my mind going into overdrive?
I loved him thats all i know for sure...

I am soooo exhausted and drained.... the phone never stops ringing, endless texts, soo much stuff to organise... i dont seem to get time to just sit and reflect! Had to go and register Barts death today, there was a wedding going on at the same time.. made me feel sad and lonely. Just popped into town for some Rescue Remedy and everywhere i looked there were memories of Bart, his favourite second hand book shop, the place where we went for a coffee the day before Xmas Eve. Seeing a car the same as his..
Then this afternoon, between phone calls, feeling warm and fuzzy cos my friend from work had sent me some gorgeous flowers. Went to see the undertaker taking with me some of Barts favourite clothes to wear, some photos for in his coffin and the book he had just started reading for him to finish. I told the undertaker "its for him to finish, sorry ive just gone a bit loopy". Going to see him tomorrow morning, im apprehensive having never seen a body before... will he still look like my Bart, will he look peaceful or in pain?
Tonight, my daughter is going to tattoo me with a heart with a B inside it.. its lovely and a small, lasting reminder of him.
His funeral isnt until the 18th Jan, seems like ages away... what a week its been!
