A Difficult Day

Seven years ago, we travelled up from Ferndown to the East Midlands, for the wedding of our good friend Steve from Kirby Muxloe. We had not met his bride before - he and Angela got together after we left KM. But it was a lovely day and the wedding was full of love and joy. 
They were so happy to have found each other. Sadly we will be travelling back to Leicester today for Angela's funeral. She died suddenly a few weeks ago following a fall. Steve says friends at church have been really supportive, and his faith remains strong - but these are truly difficult days. 
May God give Steve strength for this time - and may he know that there are many people who care for him.

    What a sad day for you all today. It’s good they had seven happy years of marriage but grief truly is the price we pay for love. Catriona

    Oh dear, that is so sad.
    Lately I have found myself thinking about what would happen if one of us was to die suddenly or after a short illness. Mentally I have started clearing stuff out in preparation. I would hate for one of us to leave the other a big mess to sort out. It's an age thing I suppose.
    Condolences to your friend and to you for your friend's loss. A very difficult time for you all.

      The Swedes talk about "death cleaning" You're supposed to start when you are 60. I'm 8+ years behind schedule

    So sorry to read this. Sometimes it's rubbish and we don't always understand why. I'm glad for his faith.

      He was able to read a tribute to his wife. I thought that was incredibly brave

    So sad, my condolences to Steve. I pray regularly for widows and widowers, no matter how much support they have, they have a lonely time when the door is closed at the end of the day.
