from my heart i appreciate and thank everyone who has sent in condolence messages over the last week and half.
most of my distant family wasn't there for me in my time of stress and need and people of this forum came to my rescue to which i will forever be truly thankful.

apart from legal stuff my partners journey to where ever has just begun like mine has just begun. was very tough going but with support of neighbours they saw me through it.

with this many thanks and big hugs to all and thinking of those who are struggling or have lost their loved ones.

Sending hugs Mike. X
 
You'll see your partner later, but hopefully much much later. I truly believe this.
 
Well done Mike, Can't imagine how tough today must have been for you. I was thinking about you most of the day. Pleased you had support from neighbours and hope that continues in the days and weeks ahead as we all know it will be a very difficult time for you. (((hugs again)))
Didn't you mention you were going to take up guitar playing recently? Apologies if I have you mixed up with someone else for that, but finding or starting an interest or hobby that you have to focus on and practice may help you through the grieving process, particularly once you have got most of the administrative stuff sorted.
Take some time out to look after yourself as well. Being a carer can leave you neglecting yourself a bit so do treat yourself to some things that you used to enjoy. I have found music from my past with all the associated memories really helpful in getting me through a difficult patch. Reminding me of who I am and the things I have achieved and old associations long forgotten.... I currently have a Tina Turner... What you get is what you see! "ear worm" which has been with me for the past 6 days, taking me back to when I was about 20yrs old and we used to do an aerobics routine to it every week. It is a good memory... although I am getting a bit sick of it now and definitely ready for a replacement tune to get stuck in my head.....
 
Bless you Mike, look after yourself as you have tough times ahead as well as right now. Any time you need a vent or a virtual hug, we are here for you {{{ Hugs }}} x
 
Aw (((more hugs))). You’ve been really courageous @mikeydt1.
 
@mikeydt1 Take it one day at a time and accept that some days will be harder than others, sending a huge hug to you
 
Thinking of you day by day @mikeydt1
Take time for yourself over the next few days.

well the only reason why i am up early is that the kind lady helping me who was with me yesterday at the service only afterwards bought me a meal so bang went my diabetes again. without her and the support she drummed up i don't know how i would of managed.

to say that the company i used along with other teams only had just over a week to put this together they went beyond what i could of expected of them and i am truly grateful esp in these difficult times. they said that they would do my partner proud and they pulled out all the stops to do it.

rebscora it was me who took up the guitar again but as my partner fell more sick my caring duties became more intense so took the decision to put playing the guitar on a back burner (i didn't hold back any tears on the day)

ditto yes i do believe in the same.
 
So glad that you had support around you @mikeydt1
Your guitar will be there when you are ready.
 
@mikeydt1 - just saying - we got married in a Spiritualist church which my (2nd) husband's grandad had helped to start with 2 of his friends.
 
one of my aunties had a stroke but does believe in the karma i think that is what they call it. another years ago was in to the spiritualists, she used to come to our house but dad wouldn't have her around for long where me wasn't really bothered as i was young and daft back then. for me i believe that the spirit leaves after then joins with waiting family and i do also believe in the reborn again part.
