I was having a time getting over being abandoned (alone with two small children) by my husband. I cried a lot; until, someone told me I was crying because I was feeling sorry for myself. My crying stopped; and, I got mad. I packed up what I could, moved back home (with the children), divorced my husband, and enrolled in college (and took both children with me to a State University). Your husband didn't abandon you. He did not leave you unskilled, with no safe housing, almost broke, with small children to feed, teach, and take care of. It will take time for you to adjust to your new life. You will adjust; because, your husband was also your teacher. It is alright for you to cry.

I lost my husband in 2020. He was very ill for years. I hate to say I was relieved when he passed. I knew he wasn't in pain anymore. My religious belief is that I will see him again one day. I find comfort in that. It also makes me not so afraid of dying. I understand how you feel. Everyone grieves in their own way. I cried for months while my husband was still alive, but when he passed my crying stopped. I cry now when special things come up...birthdays, Christmas etc. I am lucky that I do have my daughter who lives with me. She doesn't drive and I knew she'd be with me for as long as we both are alive. Take care of yourself.

Sweet lady, my husband passed unexpectedly in 2018. I remember thinking am I the only widow still grieving like this after one, two, three years. I thought I would never feel any real happiness again. (I’m not talking about another relationship, just a truly happy emotion) I had three children at home and did my best and , thank God, after about four years, I was so very grateful to feel joy and happiness. Grief is the price of love they say and it is so true. Be kind to yourself! And rest! Rest . Rest. Take naps if you need them. I’m now a grandma and my last two just graduated from high school. I enjoy my very simple existence these days . I don’t have many friends because I’m not who I was when I was a wife. Also I work a lot. It’s okay . I will just keep taking one day at a time. And be grateful for the healing and the wonderful memories I have of my dear husband

Thankyou for your vlog, on the 21st this month it will be one year that my husband of 55yrs and best friend for 57 died, a day doesn't go by without crying, even when I am sewing gets hard to see. Whats the use I have frequently asked myself, like you said we have to go on. I'm moving packing now, property to big, but not going far but I intend to create a garden similar to yours, that's my second passion to sewing 🪡 I cried through your vlog, yes the big decisions are hard, and I have just made a huge one.( I'm dreading the day I have a mouse in the house) 😂 one day at a time that's all we can do, regards Diana from NZ 🎉❤

A great quote that has stuck with me is from Esther Rantzen of all people! "I have lots of people to do things with but nobody to do nothing with" I was married for 39 years and was with my husband for 45 years. I’m at the ‘It’s not fair’ stage when I see old couples and feel I’ve been robbed of another 30 years together 😢 Keep your chin up chuck x

There's no easy way through grief. Tears feeling lost devastated are all feelings that are natural. I think the only thing that gets you through is work. Its a reason to keep going. Your a very talented woman and that's your saviour. Keep going cry when your sad. It's healing. And be kind to yourself.

I’m so glad you are negotiating your way through this new version of life Jayne, it’s a difficult journey. I lost my son 7 years ago and everyone I know said there is no pain like it. I was so overcome with a longing to be with him so I knew he was ok. As heartbroken as I was at the time I couldn’t help thinking that losing my husband would be even worse. My son was an independent adult who I saw every week or so but my husband is my soulmate who I long to spend time with every single day, who makes me laugh, get angry or feel gooey every day. He is 12 years older than me and already had one heart attack and the fear of losing him is always there. Be kind to yourself and carve out your new life 💞 Incidentally during my grieving journey instead of decorating/ gardening, I bleached/dyed my hair with bright colours! My husband literally never knew what version of me he would find when he came home from work 😂 My little picture is the first colour in my journey 💞

Jayne, you are such an inspiration to so many people, including me. I lost my darling Mummy 2 years ago, at 87. I talk to her each day, I sometimes even jump in the car to go round to show her my latest make until I realise that she’s no longer there. She’s out of pain now, which gives me comfort. Your achievements are amazing, your strength is an inspiration, your love for John is wonderful. 💕

I had already watched your first video. I was only passing through at the time. You seemed so forlorn and I decided to stay, so I subscribed. I am full of admiration for you. My answer to everything is 'keep busy'. You have to self discipline but you are already doing that by all accounts. It is you now, in charge of your destiny. If you love your home and garden I would stay there. It keeps everything familiar. Moving can be extremely stressful. ❤❤❤

So happy to see you back on YT. Grief is really hard and it moves in stages. I truly believe you do see your loved ones again but John is still there pushing you along in spirit. Think of all the wonder stories you can share with him when you see him again if you live your life to the full. I also believe you can honour a life by living a good one yourself. Go easy on yourself and take care ❤

I'm so glad to hear you are doing well and keeping busy. I only just found your channel when the video about losing your husband was recommended on YT. Instantly I felt connected to you. My husband was 21 years older than me and only 61 when I lost him to cancer in 2002. Being his care giver the last few years of his life was difficult. I still had 2 young daughters to raise, both are on their own now, and at times it gets terribly lonely still. Staying busy and trusting in the will of God gets me through each day.

You’ve achieved so much in a few months and I hope eventually you will find “you”. Sending lots of love. X

Jane, thank you for sharing your healing through the loss of your husband John. Everyone handles loss differently, so it is important to do what is best for you. I love your videos as I am attempting to do some garment sewing. I do crafts and knitting and I was also inspired by your garden series. We recently purchased land that we are developing and I have researched the raised beds as they look fabulous in your garden space. As we are retired, we are unsure if we want to build on the property but I do know that I am interested in developing the garden. We live in Atlantic Canada. Take care and remember it is okay to cry, laugh, and love.

Going through grief is like riding ocean waves. Sometimes it's peaceful and calm and then wham! You get hit with a huge wave of grief. What I've found is when that happens, I just experience it and go through it and cry. Then it is better for a while. Sometimes you think you're fine and some thing just sends you back and you feel like it just happened. But it does get easier to ride the waves.

Dear Jane what a lovely heartwarming video. You should be so proud of yourself and how you’ve coped so far. Grief is something we all have to contend with. For some it’s easier than others. Never apologise for your tears. They are so much a part of the healing journey. No one whose been in a similar position will judge you for them. You are entirely human and inherently fallible. Thank you for how you’ve continued with your work and sharing your artistic talents with us. I love your patterns and your quintessentially English style. I’ve bought your Dixie pattern but I’ve not got around to making it yet as I’m finishing a crochet blanket for my daughter first.

You do what you’ve got to do at the time. If you need to cry, just cry, let it out wherever you are whatever you’re doing. It’s been 30 months since my husband died. I look back and can’t believe what I did in the early days and how I felt. You will find your Greece changes. There are several stages. I’m currently going through the PTSD .,can’t carry on, I’ve lost everything stage. I wish I could go back to those early stages of grief where it was so much easier.

I did the same thing you did, for about 5 or 6 months I just stayed busy and didn’t grieve properly. So when I slowed down it was a mess of grief. This year has felt like I was walking through a thick sludge. Or thick fog. Praying for you today! You will be in both my thoughts and prayers as I sew. God bless! -Christa

Maybe being a helpmate so someone could count on you without feeling compromised. It could even be someone who helps others pass on a craft that has been passed through our families for generations - a skill that can protect us and show others how special they are to us because we are willing to use our skills to cover their bodies with our love of fabric. Maybe just maybe you already know why you’re here. ❤️

It makes complete sense. You will see him again but right now he wants his family together. It’s soooo confusing to express grieving and oh My God to be confused by loss and your own rebirth into your new life so you won’t be lonely. You are still you but when you lose your husband, your way of communicating with yourself and the world comes from being in a void. And that void remains. I know how you feel though I haven’t lost a husband but my children have mostly left me as I age for no reasons and some for their own lives. Having been a busy and independent person I have struggled but now with help and therapy I’m hoping I’m coming out of it, I hope, and today you have really inspired me by the things you’ve said today. Helps to know there are so many like you, many widows of husbands and being left behind. In the end we have to make it on our own. Love how you’re going on. John sounds absolutely wonderful and earned his way to Heaven. Keep honest with us, you are a big help!

Go into your sewing, honestly keep me sane, almost 58yrs I had My husband and best friend in my life, if tears fall as sewing, stop wipe, compose and go on, same as a particular song feeling down this month as it is 12 months since he passed, but I know that he wanted me to carry on. Just wish he hadn't left me so many tools to sort out etc, he was a builder, l think my fabric and sewing studio might have been a tad easier. Take one day at a time, they go Up and down only one who has lost their long time partner can really understand, tears are falling now so I will go, take care 🎉f❤

Hello, I watched your two videos last night, and this morning I received Henri Nouwen's daily meditation and thought, of course, of you -- though we don't know one another. I thought I'd pass it on, as I hope it can comfort you. Love Remembers "It is possible to have intimate relationships with loved ones who have died. Death sometimes deepens the intimacy. . . . [I believe] that after separation certain people continue to be very significant for us in our hearts and through our memories. Remembering them is much more than just thinking of them, because we are making them part of our members, part of our whole being. Knowing this experience allows me to live from the deep belief that I have love to offer to people, not only here, but also beyond my short, little life. I am a human being who was loved by God before I was born and whom God will love after I die. This brief lifetime is my opportunity to receive love, deepen love, grow in love, and give love. When I die love continues to be active, and from full communion with God I am present by love to those I leave behind."

Oh Jane, of course you’ll see John one day. I think you’re doing very well considering how much John meant to you.

Jayne, there is no manual for being a newly widowed woman. Please don’t beat yourself up over your feelings. Just take your time and allow yourself the time to heal. It does get easier. It has been 47 years since my husband passed away. Just trust in yourself and you’ll get through this.

There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Everyone's path is unique. A day doing nothing is necessary sometimes. John may not physically be present but his energy is all around you. Be kind to yourself.

You have lost your purpose being a carer for the last 19 years on top of being a wife. It will take a while to realise you haven't got that role anymore. Grieving process can take a year or so. You will eventually find something to occupy that gap and learn to live your life again cariad. You are doing really well and you are allowed to cry. It's normal. Love your videos so do them as and when you can xx❤
