    Cool Country Cottage Girl... Needs friendship & faith

    My dearest husband & woodworking partner passed away on 24th August from a brain tumour. I nursed Eddie for 4 months it was soul destroying for us, we were so much in love with each other & our woodwork....
    I will need to ask many more questions about some of the tools soon, but keeping myself busy re-arranging & cleaning out shed....I have to know exactly what's in there now...
    Dont forget to tell your loved ones how you feel, we never know whats around the corner...God Bless, keep working with wood, there are no strangers in woodwork, only folk we havent met yet!
    Regards Kerry

    Very touching that you have chosen to share your thoughts Kerry. Thank you for having the courage.

    Chin up, you are amongst friends here.

    We can't help with your loss but I'm sure we can help in the healing process.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    I can't put it any more eloquently.

    Kerry,
    This Forum seems to be well populated by people ofa giving nature. I am sure you will be amongst friends every time you are here.

    I lost a good friend to a brain tumour 3 months ago. The last few months were so hard for him, locked in and frustrated by his inability to communicate. They were as hard, if not more, for his wife because of her love for him and seeing what was happening.

    Her sense of loss has been profound, as it must be for you.
    Hopefully, you are surrounded by woodworking pieces you were both involved in and have the memories of how they came into being. I can imagine you getting a wry smile when you look at some of them. Any memories that are appropriate to share with us? Pics and anecdotes?

    No words of ours could ever convey the sadness of your loss.
    I'm sure that you beloved would only want you to carry on with what you both enjoyed, may be it 'll bring you some peace and you may feel close to him.

    Kerry, how terribly sad for you, such a loss. And the hard bit is that time really is the only healer. I hope you can take a lot of comfort in knowing that every woodie that reads this thread, will have you in his/her thoughts over the coming months. Like you say, there are no strangers, only friends you have yet to meet. You are among friends here.
    God bless,
    Jeff

    Like Dingo said if we can help don't hesitate to "call"
    Ramps

    When one has finished building one's house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way--before one began.
