02 September 2008 Marlene's inquest official verdict "Misadventure"
Definition of Misadventure: Where the death was an unintended consequence of deliberate actions.

23 July 2010
My legal advice (Irwin Mitchell who I can thoroughly recommend) and their medical consultants ultimately conclude that the treatment provided to Marlene was of an acceptable standard and the procedures were carried out correctly and there were no reasonable steps which should have been taken which would have prevented the tragic outcome. TIF is a very rare occurrence and particularly rare more than 6 weeks after a tracheostomy has been carried out. Marlene had it in for over 17 weeks...

Never is such a long time to be sad...

Even though I've searched everywhere I'm still looking for a note, silly I know as if I found one
I'd only be upset that you were thinking you might die... what a confused place this is at times.
I was so much looking forward to growing old together...
How does one learn to let go... Never is such a long time...
Really wish I could swop places as you'd be so much better at this than me...

I write the below snippets as it appears to help me and could possibly help somebody else who's going through something similar...


18/02/2011 note from somebody I respect...

Gosh Gary, how truly awful. The worst nightmare. It's hard to know what words of encouragement to send, just well done for still being with us and I hope you are somehow keeping going.

That in-site touched a nerve...
