Men Who Care

I think in the future to be able to help others is a very noble idea and im sure maryanne would love to see me do that. for now im still a bit broken. Thanks to you i have somewhere to talk now. I never gave up on her and she never gave up. it was the third time around for maryanne and i guess after two times you get a little complacent. maryanne through her strength has already given me the guide lines for the rest of my life.

I used to fish alot. im going to try to go out in the morning. Not the first time Ive tried,

Garry, I have had dreams of Andrea since she passed, but not very often.  In my case I lost Andrea very quickly and didn't get a chance to say all that needed to be said.  I was there to hold her hand as she passed which means the world to me.  I can't imagine how it is for you but I can appreciate how it must feel, given my own experiences.  Each day has its own challenges and you never know what will trigger a really strong memory, just allow yourself to grieve, acknowledge yourself and your loss.  The next step for me is choosing how I am going to make meaning of what I have been given and how I choose to contribute to others.  I'm not saying you have to do it, I am simply saying that it brings me comfort.

Maryanne was 42 when I lost her.  At the end it all happens so fast. I consider myself lucky in a way as we had a couple of days to talk about our life together and i was there when it was over. I hope that i helped her on her way but i will never know. I am trying to get on with it but some days it is too hard. do you guys dream about your partners? i have not yet and wonder if I ever will' We were chilldhood sweethearts. Seems unlikely that i will fill up the empty spaces she has left me with.

How can a heart break

a thousand times a day

How can I forget about

the day you went away.

Its got to be impossible

to hurt this hard, this long

But I make it through each day

that proves that theory wrong.

Theres no scars on the outside

for all the world to see

The only ones who know their there

are my closest friends and me.

I packed your things the other nite

and got them ready to go

to ahouse you'll never live in

a place you'll never know.

Anoyther day without you

it wont be the last

Ive got no future vision

I can only see the past.

Of the times we were together

times we dreamed and loved

without you now I have no dreams

and that is just to hard

Hi guys. Firstly to Garry we are for you and we now the pain.Also, Micky glad to hear things are going well for you as well.One thing I have learnt, as they say life goes on and it does, the pain never leaves it just gets easier.Keep moving forward Garry and keep us posted.Clay

Micky, I'm so glad you are in a good place now.  I lost Andrea in December and it was hell.  Still my life has now changed and I know that I am honouring her wishes by getting on with life.  I agree , there are few who you can talk to about such thngs, and you learn so much about yourself.  Just remember to still be gentle with yourself as introspection happens so quickly, and I still moments of grief , but my new partner is great, she gives me space and gives me comfort.  I wish the same for you.  Simon

Hey Garry. as Dean has posted, if you need to talk we are but a click away .
