Hiya! newbie

Hi Sally,

I'm so sorry for your loss.

My husband (his name is Keith as well and he's the owner of this forum) and I have talked about this ourselves, although in a light hearted way. I always told him that if he passes away before me, I would be going back to the Philippines. We don't have a child and eventhough he has family that would be able to help or accompany me, I know I wouldn't be able to rely on them completely here in the UK. At least in Manila with my family around me, I know I'd be fine and won't have anything to worry about. We don't have anything else to hold on to in this country anyway (we live in a housing association so no mortgage), apart from the free health care. But that's just me. It's really up to you to decide what you think is best for you.

Good luck with whatever path you choose to take. The members here are just a message away to listen to you.

Thanks Rayna!

Exactly my thoughts, even if I have friends around here, i still prefer to be with my family. We didn't have any kids altho I have a daughter & grandaughter and my father in the Philipines so really their company surely helps in coping/healing with my loss.
