- Decided to call it quits at John O' Groats. If I'm honest, I was finding it too difficult, by that I mean the grief side of things. I'm missing Sarah so much and I was struggling to cope. Plan to finish it off around the 29th July all going well.
Just found your videos and been a very keen biker for 50 years.
Lost my beautiful wife 22 months ago to ovarian cancer.
Multiple chemotherapy treatments and surgeries.
2 years into her 6 year battle she had a stroke and became wheelchair bound.
I was there holding her hand in the hospice when she took her last breath and my
two sons were standing at the bottom of the bed.
I definitely understand your grief and it can be overwhelming at times
Got a Kawasaki Ninja 1000s to keep me smiling though and 5 grandkids. ❤
Thank you for sharing. I was holding my wife's hand also, she was home for 3 days as that's where she wanted to be in the end. I feel like life has stopped, but she wanted me to finish all the things we planned over the years, so I've got lots to get through! Thanks again for your support 🙏
I randomly came across your vids by means of researching a long-planned trip around the top of Scotland. My sincere condolences. Also, I have such respect for your head-on dealing with your situation. All the very best in your journeys -I will continue to follow your travels and the other big journey in life.
Thank you 🙏 Heading back up on the 28th July to finish it 🤞
Good bless and watch over you. I was told in October my wife had aggressive cancer and likely only had weeks having been together nearly 50 years I had no idea what to do, but 7 months in hospital she is home, I prayed and joined local church it helped put things in perspective
I’m so sorry to hear that, but having her home is a wonderful thing. I have a good idea how you feel, so for that you are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏 Feel free to message anytime! ❤️
Sarah would want you to do it at your own pace xx
Just stumbled across your video. Enjoyed them a lot. I'm really sorry for your loss. Keep fighting the fight, taking every day as it comes.
Thank you 🙏
Mate gonna say it again you do this at your own pace we will all be here and behind you as will sarah ...words are easy but eh? i cant imagine my life without morag my wife so the pain your feeling is unimaginable which no one else can feel time out mate and go when your ready. pitlochry is our favourite place also.
Great channel and videos, 100% behind you with what you doing. Not easy to deal with but you will get there and I'm sure she is watching over you. Respect fellow biker. ♥
Thanks so much for the kind words 🙏
Totally understand. A bit too soon. Don't worry. Sarah understands. X beautiful countryside however .
Life can be a real bitch at times, you have my sincere sympathy.
I stayed away from people/friends for some time to get over the grief after losing my wife. My dog helped me though, just by being there, worst day was when I had to get the vet to put her to sleep a couple of years ago.
I have a question for you, what do you think of the Lone Rider tent and 'bike shed' does it fit down small enough for carrying on the bike okay along with the other gear needed ? Unfortunately mine now is a Royal Enfield 350 Classic and carrying camping gear is a struggle, as I've just found out.
Hi there, thanks for the comment 🙏 The tent sits on my pillion seat and is attached to the overlander box via straps, so far it’s been great, not the smallest though, but manageable. I’ve only used the garage once and the RT fits fine, I use it as living space which works a treat. If I’m honest I don’t know much about the Royal Enfield, there are certainly lighter tents, but if you want to be able to stretch your legs and stand up, the LR Mototent fits the bill nicely :)I’d like to add, I’m sorry about your wife too, absolutely devastating 😔
Hard very hard. Time is not a healer. We just have to adjust and learn how to live differently. Thinking of you. X
That’s how I feel, Will never “move on” or “get over it” as I’ve heard so many times, just learn to live a different life 😞 Thanks for the comment ❤️
You're doing great! Deal with it the way you want to and need to. Everyone deals with grief differently. And hey, at least you tried doing it, and you can still do it at a later date, though. Remember you have friends and family who love you though ❤
Thank you 🙏 I will finish it at the end of July, in the meantime I’ll just try local trips at the weekends ❤️
@RidingThroughGrief good stuff, but yeah, Sarah will understand. I am pretty sure of that 😊 no wrong or right way to deal with this. Keep being you 😉
So sorry for your loss. Great video. Just do everything at your own pace. God bless.
I was in Newtonmore a few years ago and got talking to the wife of a guy who drives a gritting lorry over Drumochter. She told me that in the worst snow the road needs to be gritted as frequently as every TEN minutes or it becomes impassable!
Firstly, let me say sorry to hear that your wife passed on, but equally let me congratulate you on making the decision to continue with your passions. To make the decision to return home was as important from a safety point of view as from an emotional one. You were not in the right frame of mind, and you recognized it.
Get back out there when you are ready.
First time I’ve come across your videos, but look forward to see more in future. Stay well Sir
Thank you 🙏
