Stephen I too have lost parents a sister, a nephew who died from cot death at 4months, and most recently my lovely husband who suffered strokes, vascular dementia and other health issues. I think of my husband every day, in fact he is rarely from my mind. I've learned to adjust to the different way ...

No suggestion of him being moved to a cheaper home. I would have thought they should at least have explained to you. You are ...
