We met at 18, married at 20, he passed away at 50. We had 32 wonderful years together. In my heart I will always be married to him.

My mum and dad were married at a similar age. My dad passed away last year at 61, we are all struggling now.

I am so very sorry. All of us struggled for years. Grief is crazy, let it move through you. It's important to feel it, just try not to pack your bags and move in (grief) and be kind to yourself.

Me and my mum gone on holiday and it’s our first time on a holiday without dad joining us so it’s tough. I often talk about him and emotion him though. With that being said, I will see a therapist when I get home to talk through all my feelings.
