A dark, icy road. A sharp corner. A tree. Blackness.
A week of waiting. Hope.
Flashing lights. The beeping of machines. Hospital corridors.
Silence.
This is not what we will remember. We will remember a wedding, laughter, a matching suit and jokes. The wine that everyone loved, chosen by you. An afternoon tasting and asking for your judgment.
A walk through the sunny woods. A lunchtime drink in a country pub. More jokes. More laughter.
A day putting up a fence at the end of the garden. Sweating, swearing, laughter. More jokes. Brotherly banter that never ends, even aged 60.
That is how you will be remembered. And that fence? It’s still here.
Every time I walk through it I will think of you.
I’m so sorry Molly. I don’t know what to say, other than I know how hard it is to lose someone so much before their time and I’m always here if you need a sympathetic ear.
Lots and lots of love to you.
xxxx

Oh Molly Molly Molly. I have thought of you all day. Loss never gets any easier. It is gut wrenchingly fucking hard.
And my heart goes out to all of you.
Lots of love and hugs. And stupid jokes at 6am to try and make you smile.
I’m so sorry Molly, big hugs to you all xx
So sorry. No words. Just virtual hugs. x
Remember the good times, keep remembering the good times.
Some years ago my cousins wife got in a car to go to work with two of her friends, the car hit black ice. They walked away and she did not. My cousin had been married months.
A simple journey everyone took for granted.
I’ve been thinking of you and of her and of my cousin over these past few days.
Life is mean sometimes, but mostly it is wonderful. Remember the wonderful.

I lost my Aunty a few weeks ago and my Mum 2 years ago. You never ever stop missing, or wishing things were different. But slowly, the sadness will be accompanied with fond smiles, and the good memories become more prevalent. My thoughts are with you xXx

Molly, I am so sorry for your loss. My Dad died after an industrial accident in 2000, far too young and it is was still is heart splitting.
Should you ever need a shoulder to cry on, please do let me know.
Sorry that you too are now part of the dead fathers club. There are far too many of us around.
Much love

Thank you for the lovely comment. Happily, I’m lucky enough to still have my dad. It’s another family member who we’ve lost. xxx
The sharp pain of loss will ebb away, but allow yourself to ride through it, fully Grieve that loss, because it is that, an awful, seemingly pointless and tragic loss. Be kind to yourself. Gentle on you, go with the emotions but remember you must always look at those beautiful memories too, they’ll help to bring you up for air…
Oh sweetheart I am so sad for you xxxxxxxx
