Harvey died early on Christmas Day.
On Tuesday 4 January I went to the supermarket for the first time. There were so many things I no longer needed to buy. But when I tried to think what I should buy, I simply had no idea what I wanted.

I wandered round very slowly, trying to work out what to do. I knew I had Lynn coming round Wednesday night and Frances for dinner on Friday, so I bought ravioli and chicken. Bread - there was none left. Milk, garlic, wine. That was about it.
Ever since I started shopping and cooking, after I first married at nineteen, I've had a framework of other people to work within. Now all that has vanished and suddenly there's only me.
