Hi there Laura...

I can so empathise how hard it is to see someone , as it were "move on" and this is just my view .. though everyone is different, but it's helped me through life ..

I feel like we are all going along on the same lines of a book ... and when we loose a close loved one , it's having to start a new chapter ... it never takes away the chapter with that loved one, it's always there and no one can take that away ...

But life is so short ... and moving on to another chapter, means not replacing but having someone else to go down the road with ... it takes nothing away from those we lost... it's like children , we don't love just the first .. we have love for each and every one of them, even though it takes nothing away from the first .. if that makes sense .. 

Being on our own for whatever reason, is so lonely .. no mater how many family members are close .. it's having a cuddle when low .. having someone to just chat to, and a hand to hold ... we all need that ...

I met my partner a year after he lost his wife to breast cancer .. we brought her along with us .. and still talk about her .. now I'm on my journey as you know, and if cancer takes me too .. I hope he'll find a new chapter again ... it's the continual circle ... l just know how much it meant years ago, having people accept me when I was in that possisition... 

I'm not saying I'm right ... it's just a different way of looking at things .. anyways Laura,  l wish you a pieceful and happy Xmas, and a healthy new year ... Chrissie xx
