It's amazing how everything will, for however long, have those holes.

missmyanne, at least you are eating dinner. You get points for that, from me! No meals are automatic for me anymore.

there are alot of things that suck, by doing them alone. The good news, is that your doing them... Our loves, would want us to carry on, and be ok...and still do things we enjoyed, regardless if it was because of them, with them, or just because of our own enjoyment. I'm sorry, I know all too well, what it's like to do the grilling. My husband enjoyed grilling and was great at it. I did the prep work, and he would grill to his hearts content.... Now, not only do I not enjoy his grilling, but I havent turned on my grill, since he passed away....

Doing everything for one sucks. Some of the biggest blockages I had were doing those things that we did together. Huge triggers. But when you get through it the first time, the pain and sorrow of it diminishes with each time you face it head-on again. ~~~ Scottie

My sweet husband would have bbq everyday if he could. He made a lean to with plywood to stay out of the rain for years. He finally built a patio roof about 7 months ago. He always used oak or briquettes I always tried to talk him into one of the gas kind. No was not going to happen. I enjoy bbq also but since he died I do a lot of kitchen type cooking. My kids knew I would never do bbq's the old fashioned way on my own... so for Mother's Day they bought me a gas grill. Sad to say it is still in the box because it just breaks my heart every time I think about having grilled anything with out him cooking it. So yes it sucks!!! Take care.

My husband loved to grill and use his smoker. He has a Yoder smoker sitting in the backyard. He fed half the known world it seemed like out of that smoker. He'd appear a the neighbors with a rack of rib most anytime. I haven't got to grilling anything yet for myself. I am not even sure I'd know where to begin. He did all the cooking. I'm living on "Health Choice, Steamer Meals" out of the frozen food section. Take care and thanks for posting.

My husband is dying - was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer that had metastized to the bones and then developed throat cancer. Its funny you mentioned grilling because we too grill everything. From October to May, our deck and gazebo are our outdoor home. We even bbq breakfast and the Christmas turkey. With his throat cancer, he cannot eat and may never be able to eat normally again. This spring has been so difficult. Cooking and enjoying nice meals together was just so much a part of who we are. And we both miss grilling ....I'd love a homemade bbq'd burger right now but like your wife, I don't even like to turn the thing on and I couldn't enjoy one knowing he can't. I figure this is just preparing me for what is to come. Keep that 'q' fired up, she will be there!

I know how that feels, did a braai (bbq) last night with our best friend, he is in our town on a military course, felt off, usually they braaied and I did the side dishes and had wine, not even the wine made it fun, sad to say. chicken liver and onions were our favourite breakfast, kids don't like it, so making it now sucks. Stopped buying it altogether. Thinking of you

I know how you feel my husband loved to cook turkey burgers on the grill and he would do mushrooms . I have not grilled since he pasted. I would like to be your friend and we could talk and help each other.
