I am so sorry to hear about your husband, that must have been terribly hard. That's why I posted this, really - when Katie Piper said it, it was the first time I had heard anyone else vocalise what I felt - it was very moving. xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11838426651793558151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718701145803848252.post-30835626827716272372013-07-16T19:01:24.056+01:002013-07-16T19:01:24.056+01:00Lovely post - I lost my husband to Leukaemia when ...Lovely post - I lost my husband to Leukaemia when my children were small - littlest only 1......In the beginning I felt the opposite and other peoples seemingly trivial problems irritated me. However after many years I feel exactly the same as you and will always pipe up when people belittle other peoples problems. I often find it is about the death of a pet the is belittled but to some people that pet is their world and they are very much part of the family. Sorry I have rambled a bit but yours is the first time I have heard anyone say the same as me xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718701145803848252.post-16561177737619343412013-06-29T17:55:38.016+01:002013-06-29T17:55:38.016+01:00Ah thanks, Emma xxAh thanks, Emma xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11838426651793558151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718701145803848252.post-52432583945605625692013-06-29T11:18:56.200+01:002013-06-29T11:18:56.200+01:00Beautiful post.

I can only imagine how it must have been for you and your family and I'm so glad things are going well now.<br /><br />I agree with you about one's own personal tragedies. I have never subscribed to the "it's nothing compared to" theory. When I was in a fracture clinic, waiting for someone to look at my badly broken wrist, I was surrounded by people with far worse injuries than mine and fleetingly felt guilty about being so distraught - then I thought "this is my wrist, my life, my ability to earn a living". We all have the right to be upset about something, even if to others it might appear relatively trivial.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718701145803848252.post-44685657747153564652013-06-27T18:25:31.660+01:002013-06-27T18:25:31.660+01:00 The worst even...!
