Popular Post WILF 44,196 Posted September 30, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 There are all different types of characters on this site, they can be howling to hilarious and everything in between. Some of them would hate each other and some would get on well. There are rows, insults, laughs.....you name it. But, I bet the one thing every lad on here would have in common is that they found Iworkwhippets post unfathomably sad and heart braking..........and I bet at this moment every last one of them would be on the mans side and wishing they could put an arm round his shoulder in his time of need. Everyone is rooting for you matey, make no mistake about that. 22 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 26,094 Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 1 hour ago, WILF said: Mate, you are in a bad place at the moment.......take a deep breath and just give yourself a month. 76 is no age and if your beloved wife saw something in you she would be heartbroken to think you didn’t see it in yourself. Theres is always a sunrise and there is plenty out there for you still. You have cared for your wife with tenderness and love for a long time and there are hundreds of people who really need someone who has that skill and experience........someone who has been there......find them, find an organisation that needs you. Make her proud old chap. That's a fantastic post Wilf... No one can say anything to ease your pain Keith, but loads of us on here enjoyed your posts with your whippet and ferret, it was as hunting should be, it made us all remember how we should behave in the field and really what hunting and particularly this site is about, sharing real experiences....no ego... no bullshit...just a man out enjoying nature and grabbing a rabbit or 2 for the pot.... We have also felt for you as you have shared snippets of what you have been going through, having to give up on your past time to care for your wife....we have read and shared that with you, felt for you and hoped that life would take a better, unseen turn for you....its a strange place on this site, because although we all have the odd row and talk too much shit at times, I genuinely believe we do make real connections on here....look at the outpouring of genuine sympathy for you...you may feel lonely and that can not be changed by any words you read on here, but they are all sent to you from men, many you have never met, but because of rhe sincerity when you write on this forum we have responded in this way.... I suppose I hope you can take some solace in these small acts alone.... Stay strong mate .. 14 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I held my old man in my arms as he died when I was nearly 11 years old, my mum was a useless mess so I had look after her an all. It was alright for “the grown ups”.....they had other grown ups but I had nobody and my old man was my whole world. It takes a long time and a lot of hard thinking to come to terms with that, you have to realise that you can’t make sense of things that just dont have a reason.....they just “are” and that’s it. Then you lay down that bag of rocks and move along and try and live the best you can, in doing that you honour the person and you honour yourself. There will be plenty of people on this site who have been in your position, you ain’t alone and that is worth remembering matey.

I think you are worrying unnecessarily about money. The certificate doesn't cost anywhere near that mate. Life's always worth living even it's it's not as great as when you were younger. There's always something interesting in the day to keep you going. Get out with the dogs into God's cathedral:--the countryside. There's nothing more healing to the mind.
