Time to say again that I don’t want or need to get a dog/cat/any type of pet. I’m not in a strong enough emotional or physical state to take on the responsibility of caring for another living creature. And the thought of a pet getting ill and dying would kill me. #grief

I woke up this morning and really thought that I couldn’t face cooking a Christmas dinner just for me. It seemed far too sad. But I’d defrosted stuff, so thought it would be best to at least try. Well, I think I did myself proud and my darling would be so proud of me too. #grief

#WhenICameOut it was to my Dad. 1985. Arranged to meet him in a pub. Told him I had something to tell him. So I told him I was a lesbian. He took a glug of his pint, put it down, looked at me & said “Thank fuck for that. I thought you were going to tell me you had cancer.” ❤️💕

Nothing to do with police but still relevant I think. 6 yrs ago (I was 57) in a very packed pub in Central London a complete stranger (male) lifted my t-shirt up and grabbed my breasts. His mates laughed. No one helped me. I poured my pint over his head. Guess who got thrown out?

Izzard is a man. He wears what he sees as ‘women’s’ clothes & silicone breasts as & when he chooses. He’s not, in my knowledge taking measures to medically transition. Ergo, he’s a transvestite (something he’s said for years) & not a transsexual. The ‘trans umbrella’ is absurd.

One of the most moving things that have come out of this is when my lovely neighbours told their 4 yr old dtr about my partner dying. The next day she called to me in the garden. Child: Has M gone off on a cloud? Me: Yes Child: Are you very sad? Me: Yes Child: I’m sorry #grief

Today I received Christmas gifts from my darling’s brother & his wife and from one of their grownup children and his young family. Right from the moment when my M died they all told me that I was family. I feel blessed and warmly ‘fuzzy’. Love lives on. 💕💔 #grief

She was the love of my life. My soulmate. My partner for 26 years. My everything. This life without her is so very hard. But I promised her that I’d live a good life for both of us. Wish me luck. #grief

As planned, today on the 2yr anniversary of my darling’s funeral, I picked the car up from the garage & brought it safely home. Then sat in it for ages in tears. I miss her with every fibre of my being & the heartache has been excruciatingly painful. Our love is forever. #grief

You’ll only know when or if this happens to you. #grief

The rose we planted together a couple of years ago. This is the first bloom of this season, looking so beautiful in the last of the day’s sunlight. Posting this evening in honour of my darling. #grief

Today is #WorldCancerDay Cancer took my darling at the end of April 2021 just 1 year after she retired, following 50 years of working in public service. We were looking forward to having ‘adventures’ & growing old together. She was 66. I miss her every minute of every day. #grief

Ok. I’m in a very bad place. Haven’t eaten properly for days, or showered, or changed my clothes. The car battery is flat. The house is a mess. This is the absolute pits of #grief .

So utterly depressing. Pride now appears to represent a threat to LGB people. How the hell did this happen? I’m so bloody angry.

This is not an easy watch, but it's important evidence as to what went down yesterday. If that was me, I would have been fucking terrified.

Just had a meeting with a good friend from the allotment committee of which my darling was Secretary for many years. There is going to be a memorial cup in honour of her at the annual produce show for ‘best carrots’. She won ‘best in show’ for her 🥕🥕🥕 in 2019. So proud. #grief

An awful day. It’s 2 yrs 4 months since my darling died. Just couldn’t face the day, so stayed in bed until late afternoon. Got nothing at all done. Am trying to tell myself that there will be times like this & I shouldn’t beat myself up for it. Do others experience this? #grief

My wonderful neighbour mowed my lawn this afternoon. The grass was SO long, but his mower worked miracles! I can now strim it without any problems. Another weight off my mind. These little things mean so much. #grief
