Thank you friends...
It's been just a little over 3 weeks since Julie's passing and the worst part, which might seem selfish, is the loneliness, I am not coping too well with that, it's so quiet at home now coupled with the fact that I am not getting out too much is not helping either... But, I suppose I will get used to that...
I have spent the last couple of days going through all our / my photo albums, we / I have a lot of them and I made up three 2 foot x 1.5 foot glass photo frames of all the best photo's I could find, not just of Julie but of my family going back to my Mum's Father to present day and made 3 lovely collages for my home walls.
I have managed to change my name on the rent book from a joint tenancy to just myself, I still have to wait and see if I can still live here now that Julie has passed, I do not know how long this will take and / or / if / when I will know if ever. I just keep my fingers crossed that I will not get turfed out into a single bed-roomed flat...
I have thrown on the sick for 2 months so that I can start looking for a job and if I get one then I can get taken off the 'sick note' at least I £70 a week coming in now rather than nothing but on saying that I have to pay the dreaded 'bedroom tax', so I get about fifty quid a week to live on, so, my stocking up on 2 freezers over the past few months has paid off as I am quite literally living out of my two freezers right now.
There was so much to do, legally, after Julie's passing, more than I ever imagined, it's not the end at the end, not by a long shot... Anyway, I have all the loose ends tied up now so I can look forward to doing something to take my mind of things, what?... I have no idea as I write this.
Anyway, that's my update...
