My rant into the void. I am in such excruciating pain tonight. Like rusty bladed barbed wire in my upper arm/shoulder. The heat from it is awful. Moving makes me dizzy & sick. No Mark to bring me water & hold my good hand. To give me a reason to be. This is shit. #Grief #Widow

I was privileged to have carried you for nine months and to have given birth to you. I would rather have lost you than never have had you. Brain cancer took you. On 16th August 2013, aged 16, you were diagnosed with Grade 3 Anaplastic Astrocytoma with spinal diffusion. Tumour on

My poor pup baby moo! A nightmare 5 days. Shes been poked & prodded, had injections, dye in her eye, blood taken, 2 midnight vet visits. Shes been such a good girl! So proud. But I think shes getting better! Shes loved her "sick diet" though! Scrambled eggs & chicken & rice.

I'd second this 100%. But, as a widow, I'd add that to say it about someones husband/wife/life partner or anyone who is loved so very deeply is not helpful in the slightest. So just don't. #Grief

Ive been having a specific strange sensation when I think of Mark. I couldn't put my finger on where I'd felt it before. Tonight I remembered. Homesickness. Its how I've felt when I've been very homesick. Except I cant make it go away because Mark was my home. #Grief #Widow

Feeling super nostalgic for the 90s! I was 15yrs old when "definitely maybe" came out. Oasis were HUGE! Many happy teenage memories of Oasis & 90s music in general. The soundtrack of my teenage years. #oasisreunion #britpop #90smusic

Watching paralympics & David Weir. My heart feels its being squeezed. My Markie used to love him & he always sung a happy song when Weir was racing. God I miss him. I miss him so damn much. I miss him so much I feel sick. It hurts #Grief #Widow

Its my birthday tommorow and I'm just crying. Markie always made me a delicious shellfish dinner. Tea & a long blether in bed in the morning. My broken body hurts like hell & I just want him here. Im so so tired of living without him, fighting on. I need him. I miss him #Grief
