RE: ALL IN A DAY'S BIRTHDAY

in Market Friday β€’ 2 years ago

a couple months after I lost my first husband

I did not know this!!!πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’• Goodness. What an awful thing! How old were you then?

And what a wonderful memory amongst the memory of sadness. With your mum no less ❀️❀️❀️

Really @riverflows? I thought everyone knew. It comes up often in my posts. For various reasons. Death of a loved one changes you forever and you are never the same again. He was a trails officer so we lived in one of the most magnificent wild life reserves. He battled cancer for two years and died at 28. I married into the medical fraternity. Literally. So it was (almost) a war. My outrageous (natural) ideas versus conventional.

I honestly don't know how I missed that and feel like a terrible person. It must have been so traumatic.

Oh please. You are not terrible. You just didn't know. Yes. It was horrific. Would you believe that we buried my first father-in-law (brain tumour which killed him in one month) and my first husband within a year of one another. I didn't go to another funeral for 12 years and then 3 last year. All spouses of close friends who also sadly walked the cancer path. The devastation is unimaginable. I am grateful that I could support them but it is a bittersweet journey to repeat
