Crikey…I intended to update with #positivityingrief but made the mistake of scrolling ..wtf is wrong with people? “If tha can’t say owt nice, then seh nowt” 🤷♀️
Hey! As a widow, what would you do with a birthday card addressed to ‘Miss’ forename and (married) surname from an in-law. I’m not even #AskingForAFriend
Hi! I’ve been quiet…for good reason I think? My life goes on. Despite suffering the most devastating loss, I am managing to move forwards (not ‘on’-I hate that 😠) The teenagers are great, I’m studying, I’m running, I’m living. Hopefully with #positivity #Grief #Grief #running
Update: I did it. I (eventually) set off from my front door and ran the route that we always did together. First time this year. I might do it again tomorrow. I will keep moving forward. #positivity #grief #running
I run. But since my husband died, I struggle to start a run from our house. It’s something we did together. By posting here, I’m making myself accountable that tomorrow, I will run from our doorstep. #run #runners #accountability #grief #marathon
I’m am not proud of myself right now. I’ve let the reactions of people who I care about, affect how I think about my life. But the fact is, is MY LIFE! And I’m not doing anything wrong (I don’t think). I’m just doing my best. He’s Gone, not coming back 💔❤️🩹
I am so proud of our boys. Eldest, 19, he’s living his best life, working away for the summer (in between Uni) but home for the weekend to surprise me! He is the most lovely, kind, respectful, good and honest human. We did a good job I think. #grief #onlyparent
I am sixteen months into this 💔I have learned to accept the change in my life path and I have chosen to live the life I’m left with, the best that I can. I miss him so much though. I hope that I’m enough parent for the young men that are our boys 👨👩👦👦 now 👩👦👦
Living with grief is such a head fu*k. Today is my wedding anniversary (22 years) but half of the marriage isn’t here to acknowledge it 💔. Tomorrow I’m spending time with a very good man. We are going to celebrate being together 🥰. How do the two things share the same space?
Grief doesn’t stop or go away. It just becomes part of who we are now. Life Before v. Life Now. #positivityingrief #positivity
Today I ran a marathon (well, it was 27.1 miles actually). It’s 14 months to the day since my life changed. Hopefully I’m embracing change a (extremely) positive way! #positivityingrief #warrior #leedsmarathon #RobBurrowLeedsMarathon #RobBurrowMarathon
Hey! I’m still here. Marathon training is nearly over, college is ongoing, teens are thriving, our old dog loves his life with us. We’re surviving! And I think we’re doing it well. Love to anyone who is struggling #grief #running #robburrowleedsmarathon

St Andrews, Glasgow, SMO 🏴 https://t.co/lSlnP3ALjhToday I not only mourn the loss of Colin, but everything related to it. The life I once had, that we had. My life today is good by all other measures, I miss those little things. My life as I knew it changed in an instant. I can’t get it back.
I think about all the things I’d have to explain if Colin magically returned. The pandemic, George Floyd, our messed up politics. The sudden, traumatic death of my mom. How I ended up getting remarried to a guy he referred to as my work boyfriend.
Six years ago today my husband Colin was killed in a cycling accident on his way home from work. Those who have lost someone close know that moving on is not a thing. Instead, you move forward with all that grief and pain and anger and guilt and your body just never forgets. 🧵
I ran my 50th @parkrunUK on Saturday Tim died early on a Saturday morning. My Parkrun alarm went off as the paramedics worked on him. Parkrun kept me sane as I grieved. I stopped running after injury but I'm back. Thank you Parkrun, runners & volunteers for being there for me
@SuddenWidow 2/. ...then lose your friendship. It never comes back. True friends will put their needs aside to help you. Those that truly care will surprise you. Some have always taken & now when it's their turn to give they have deserted you - great to see them in their real guise. Be strong
@vivienneparry So sorry for your loss. There are a few accounts on here with women sharing their grief which may give you some comfort. @widow_waiting @SuddenWidow
I often buy these yoghurts. 1. They have great flavours (peach melba, apple, hazelnut, as well as more standard like the pic) 2. The company itself seems great. They have 120 staff - 26 have been working there more thsn quarter of a century. Look at the recent retirements:
@SuddenWidow I hope your Christmas can be a peaceful time for you and you find some joy in the season 🙏💚
Wrapping presents and just putting ‘love from mum’ and knowing I’ll never write mum & dad again 😞 2nd Christmas……. #widowedparent
This one really surprised me the New Year after Tim died. Sending love to all
While it might feel like the rest of the world is laser-focused on getting the year over and done with, you're not alone if you find yourself wishing that 2023 would slow down so you won't reach that sickening point of having to say "they died last year." #PerfectlyNormal
Observation. If your husband dies someone will say ‘when will you start dating again?’ and ‘ you’ll meet someone else. ‘ If your mum dies people get it. If your sibling dies people also get it. WTF!
@baabaababe I know your post is well meaning but there is no amount of personal ‘fight’ that can outpace #TerminalCancer at this stage. This is not about resilience or determination. And to suggest as much implies that Cherry just needs to try harder.
@SuddenWidow That's a cruel blow. So sorry your SIL is a thoughtless shit. ❤️
‘That's the weird thing about grief. You can't prepare for it. You think you're gonna cry and get it over with. You make those plans, but they never work. It hits you in the middle of the night - well, it hits me in the middle of the night. I'm out walking. I'm feeling quite…
@SuddenWidow I’m torn between thinking they are a bit insensitive albeit maybe inadvertently but then “kind” to remember your birthday. With that in mind I’d just park it but when an appropriate moment arises mention you’re still a Mrs.
@SuddenWidow Depends if you like them or not I suppose! If you do I would assume it was a genuine mistake and thank them for the card. Life’s too short…….
@SuddenWidow I find that very strange. Surely even christian name and surname alone is better than Miss, Ms?
@SuddenWidow I'd be mortified! I will always be 'Mrs' even though my husband has passed away. I'm still married to him. I'd tell them it was offensive and wouldn't even worry if I offended them by telling them so
@SuddenWidow That was nice of them to remember your birthday and take the trouble to send a card. But you could use it to be a victim if you want.
