At 51, I really didn't think I would be doing it again, because most of my friends have children and even grandchildren. The only reason I did it is because it's been almost 5 months since one of my best friends died, and it was his husband's birthday this week. He wanted to act like he was dealing with it, so he invited me for a birthday drink last night. I didn't realise how badly he was failing to cope until he brought out the shoe. What he had laid out was more than the three of us ever did together, even 20 years ago. I thought that was bad enough, until he showed me a container with at least ยฃ300 worth and told me he's blown most of his life savings on it since his husband died, because it scrambles his brain, stops him focusing on reality and eventually causes him to burn out and actually sleep. I'm very worried about him, but I know I can't push him as he'll refuse help and stop answering my calls. I can't risk that, I need to be there for him when he needs me, but on his terms.

And most of their stuff isn't cheap tat that people won't bother taking back when it breaks, because it's too cheap to waste the time and petrol.
