Yeah.. still only year two. I've got so many other things to be getting on with.
You're not big and bad for saying!
Oh just saw your reply, thanks @littlegreenman and happy you found your partner
I'm going to get cracking with my acoustic rock project and what's for me won't go past me, as the old saying goes

Don't worry about the thread, it's a fine place to cover this
I'd avoid replying to that email
She's done me a favour - I knew it wasn't right and looking back... I'm the catch, not her! Lol.
I never replied and I'm not going to. Neither will I be putting in specific effort re dating in the short-term, at least.

That lead to another hiatus and then dating apps which in turn lead to depression and anxiety!
Luckily though I did happen to meet an old friend online who is incredible and who has changed my life. 4 years and counting!
Be proud that you took the first steps to moving forward. Dating sites can put too much pressure and hope on people which isn't necessarily a healthy way to start a relationship. Don't be in a hurry.
Like with Sheena, it'll happen when it happens and you'll know when you know.
Onwards and upwards dear boy.

My own story with my wife Denise was detailed on page 44 and this is a follow up to that.
Denise sadly passed away on February 23rd, 15 weeks after her 8-12 week prognosis. We had a 5 week stay in the hospice over Christmas but in the end she died peacefully at home. I found it all very difficult and unfortunately have lots of 'not nice' memories from the last four months which my brain has been trying to bury. I start counselling next week because the biggest issue I have is that I can't talk about her, or the last 6 months, with anyone without getting upset and that's obviously something that I don't want. I want to talk about her loud and clear, with a smile on my face. Consequently, I find myself shutting her out, which has a knock-on effect to feeling guilty.
My work have been really good, six months off with full pay, but I went back on Monday phased return and had a 'walls closing in' moment on Tuesday. I've never had anything like that before and didn't have a repeat over the rest of the week, so I hope it was just a warning shot. What was before has been and gone, I'm living in a different world now and feel like a different person. I feel that I've lost my way completely, from being a person very much in control and knowing who he is, to one just drifting through each day and feeling like I have no structure. Friends have been great, family been great, work has been great, but still I feel like a feather in the wind I suppose.
I am going to see a Spiritual Healer on Tuesday (!) and whilst I know it's all a load of rubbish, I just want him to tell me she's safe, gone to a nice place and will pay me a visit from time to time. I think hearing that will help me a lot, even if it's just telling me something I want to know. It could prove to be £40 very well spent. I will let you know how it goes!
After nearly 10 years together, we got married on November 7th. It was something that we'd planned for years, but just never got around to it! In the end we just decided to get on with it whilst she still could, less than 4 weeks later she went downhill rapidly. It was a lovely, but very emotional ceremony. I've just watched @thomasross20 video above and choked a little at some of the words said about 'rest of our life', at my own ceremony that was the bit that I burst into tears.
I have messaged Thomas a few times over the last few months and he has been a great help. One thing I am determined to do this year is to meet up and shake his hand. Thank you Thomas. Your Sheena was beautiful and like I told you by message, I just know they'd be friends 'up there', after seeing the video I'm even more sure of that.
As somebody said to me a few months ago 'You've got to take baby steps' and whilst I found that difficult to understand at the time, I think I'm now starting to get it.
Hope you’re doing ok

Wow, can't believe it's been two years already.
All the best to you and your step daughters.
A belated Happy Birthday to you as well.
Feedback
You'll never forget what love Sheena brought to you and the family - Time does make it easier - But certain days/events are reminders - The girls will recall this as and when they have major events like a marriage and/or kids and their mum is not there - I felt that when I got married and my daughter was born
And yeah.. Zoe in particular will feel it when she gets married etc..
Thanks again everyone
