Our ‘Plan B’ life started in late 2022, when after fighting so hard for two years, Julie, my wife of forty-six years, lost her battle with a cruel and unforgiving cancer.
Julie’s final words to me were look after the kids and wait for me and I will be your angel.
Our hope is to continue our relationship in parallel, one of us in the physical world and one in the spiritual realm, until we are together again.
Four months of darkness and one Christmas has passed and I’m still trying to make sense of things, but the common things I keep hearing are ‘Julie wouldn’t want to see you being sad all the time and ‘Life goes on’. Easy to say and with good intentions, but much harder to work with.
I have never done a blog before but thought it might be a good place to record what happens next as I start my side of our Plan B life and maybe Julie will show up to say hi now and then. I’m just going to post random thoughts, pictures and interactions I might have and hopefully meet other people with experiences to share.
