[DIANE W]

Thank you Janet, you are so kind.

I agree it will get a little easier, we do talk about her quite a lot, and i am not afraid to tell my uncle a funny story of one of our conversations or outings - and we do end up laughing.

I think you are right other people tend to not talk too much for fear of upsetting us, my Uncle said today he feels totally lost and said he still feels her presence in the home.

I explained it must be so much harder for him, because i can go home and it may sound silly but i sometimes can think she is still at home - only for a little while, then it comes back to me that she isnt.

But we do think about her all the time, and we have talked about her passing and agreed that if you have to go then the way she went was the best way - it was so peaceful and calm.

Thank you again everyone for your good wishes and thoughtful posts.
