  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Could do with prayers

This time last year I realised that we were more than likely not going to win the fight - I was still hoping but also trying to be realistic .

He had just gone back into hospital - driving himself in , in the car I/we had bought in February , on his insistence , so I had a car that would take me wherever I needed to go no matter the weather . He drove the Freelander just once - the time to go into Hospital, and of course he never came out .

44 years of marriage ended on 28 May last year :(

Your thoughts, as gut wrenching as they are in your time of grief, give me great inspiration. As a single man i often wonder whether marriage is worth it or if its just a scam. Im constantly bombarded with stories of bad marriages and whether its even possible for the same man and woman to love each other for more than like 5 years. I see in your posts that it is possible. May God carry you through, till you reunite in heaven.

:hug:

I'm still thinking about you.

Maybe because his birthday was always a happy day for you, you relive the happiness, but the anniversary of his last illness and passing is full of painful memories, so you relive the grief.

Whatever the reason I think it's natural to have ups and downs. That doesn't make it any easier to bear, I know.

Kyrie eleison.
