Dear Irish Scouse, no words can supply what you need. Thank you for your post, and your confidence in the forum that you can open your heart here. I am taking a deep breath right now, for you.

Welcome back. I am so sorry for your loss, but happy to see you here again. Grieving takes time, but I am sure the camino will help in many ways. Buen camino.

Sorry to hear that. It’s great to see you have returned and feeling able to do so and I hope the planning of your next Camino and starting a new one will give you purpose and such an amazing tribute to your wife that you are able to go on and walk another Camino .

No words of ours will be sufficient to heal the hurt and loss you feel. But know you are among friends who feel your loss and wish for you a complete return to a place of peace and wholeness. Wishing you well mi amigo.

The words THANK YOU do not seem enough for all the compassion shown by all you lovely fellow pilgrims.I will carry you with me when again I walk this sacred path,and offer up prayers of thanks for you and yours,and I hope to meet some of you on the way.

My fellow Irish pilgrim. In my experience the Camino is a safe space where grief can bubble over, the tears roll and it feels ok. Feel the grief and at the same time feel the gratitude. I wish you love and kindness on the way. Liam
