Sounds like a lovely event and a lovely tribute to your wife.
That does indeed sound like a lovely way to remember your wife and, once again, I am impressed by your strength.
That sounds lovely Crewlie.
One of my few regrets in life is my mum died not knowing she was a grandma....
Mark, it was an honour to be there with you yesterday. You all did really well and the whole venue, mood and atmosphere was peaceful and reflective. Your good news piece at the end was truly wonderful !
Well done Mark, sounds like a perfect day to remember her and something you will always be glad you did.
I'm not going to pretend it will be easy, I still have to break off conversations nearly 3 years later when something crashes over me in a memory. But it gets easier to understand and accept why this happens.
I'm sure others have said it but be gentle to yourself, good luck with the future and a grandchild 🙂
Sounds like a really beautiful event. It's so nice to hear that you were able to do everything that you felt you wanted to do. There's still a rocky road ahead but hopefully your first grandchild will provide you with encouragement and positivity in your life.
Good man! Well done.
Well done Crewlie ,it sounds like it was a lovely day and went the way you had wanted.
Look after yourself.
You sound like a wonderful husband. You're also going to make a wonderful grandfather.
Big hugs for the furture.

Hi crewlie
I hope you find some help from the advice already posted. I can't add anything I'm afraid but I wouldn't expect my wife to stand up and speak at my funeral. It's going to be a hard enough day as it is for you. And the rest of the days.
Edit: sorry I missed reading the last posts. Well done. Keep riding the bike buddy.
This kind of thread is what makes this place special,
