The past eleven months without him have been hard, especially as our ending was so sudden and unexpected. My traumatic experience means I have spent much of the time in shock. No wonder it feels almost unreal that at this time on this day twelve months ago, Robert and I were standing on the balcony together, enjoying the sunset and finalising our trip north to Alentejo. I’ll tell you more about those adventures next week. Today though I need to share how much I miss him and our life. I’m also missing our future, you know that plan A all couples have. Working out my plan B is going to take a while.

  1. Hi Becky – Still thinking of you, and wanting you to know that you are very missed here in the blog world. Please come back when you are in the mood or have motivation, no pressure. Wishing you solace in whatever form works best. Love, Babsje

    1. Sorry I have not replied before now. This year has been almost as strange as last year, and in some ways more challenging. Hopefully though over the coming months I will be returning to blogging. I really appreciate your kind words

  3. Such a contrast between this beautiful, peaceful, golden sky and your eleven months of trauma. I’m sending you my best wishes as always and will be looking forward to hearing your stories next week.

  7. I know the next month will be especially tough but I also know that you’re approaching it with courage, just as you have done the preceding eleven. And your plan B will come together gradually. I’m sure Robert would be proud of how you are coping with all of this and would want you to hold on to happy memories such as this beautiful sunset.

  9. Just saw this as I was about to switch off, and look at all these responses! There’s a tidal wave of warmth and support here, Becky, and I know that they can never replace Robert, but the fact that you are able to write this today is in itself a huge achievement. Sending hugs!
