I've been lighting a candle to Robin in the evenings the last week or so - and will continue to do so. The flickering light is comforting as I reflect on our many happy years together, trips made, places visited, the people we have shared our social lives with. So many happy memories. And I must admit I do worry how I will cope in the lonely weeks, months, years, that lay ahead.
Candle glow in the evenings
Poor little Gemma is still rather unsettled and her behaviour is different now. I'm sure she knows Robin is no longer here, and can perhaps pick up on the changes in the household, and my emotions as well. She was hiding away from the world in the box on her climbing tower. I understand Gemma, wish I could hide away from the world too. I never knew missing him would hurt so much.
You can't see me, I'm hiding

Yes pets do sense when someone’s missing.
Thinking of you and Gemma as you struggle to adjust to life without Robin. Sending hugs to you and ear scritches to Gemma. You two lived life to the fullest…so many adventures and memories. Take care.
God Bless and keep you - you and Gemma
Jenny, you are doing so very well. Please keep communicating and I understand how hard it is. My thoughts are with you and thinking of you always. take care
Thankful to see you post today. What a beautiful gesture to reflect on your lives together. Big hugs and many prayers for you.
Dear Jenny, I've been following your blog as a silent reader for quite awhile now. I'm so sorry about Robin. I lost my beloved Jay last February & I feel the pain you are going thru. I would love to tell you it gets easier, but it just doesn't. We just have to find a way to learn to live with it. It's really a ******* & I'm also struggling to. Please know I'm hugging you from the other side of the world & praying for you. We have our quilting & our friends to hold us up & help us thru this. Betty from outside of Philly in Pa. the USA.
it will take time for you to find your new normal and Gemma too - I've been thinking of you and hope you are doing well - I know everyone says it but it takes time to adjust. I hope you will do well through this first holiday season
Sending hugs and much love to you and Gemma!
Oh Jenny, I missed your previous post. My most loving thoughts with you, yes the days and months ahead will be so different, thankfully friends were there to help you get home, but being there and doing what he loved so much, for Robin, a final time on holiday with you and Gemma.XXXX Jean.
I am happy that lighting that little candle makes you feel a bit better. I am hoping that your wonderful memories of your lives together will help to warm up your heart--
I am sending many warm hugs...Julierose
You and Gemma have my heart--losing a loved one is sooo very hard--but I do know that even if you can't see them --they are still with us in someway--
do take care of yourself--we are here for you--so you are not alone--
hugs and blessings, di
(((Hugs)))
Take your time Jenny, adjustment takes its time. Robin would want you to continue your busy social life with your hobby & friendship groups. I was widowed 25 years ago, life changes but our loved ones are always with us. Look forward to seeing you are knitting & sewing again, those donations are still needed.
Take care x✂️🇦🇺x
Sending hugs to both you and Gemma as you adjust.
My heart aches for you, Jenny. This will be such a hard holiday season for you. Try to surround yourself with family and friends, lean on them for support and much needed hugs and shared tears. Sending you virtual hugs, with the hope that you will always feel Robin's love for you.
My heart hurts for you. May God give you comfort and peace.
Sending you many hugs from across the pond. I am sure Gemma knows Robin is gone and you are hurting.
God bless.
