Pockets filled with Happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nRichard\u2019s message comes months after he vented his frustration over former friends abandoning him after Joan\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said in a conversation at The Times and Sunday Times Cheltenham Literature Festival in October: \u201cSubsequent to her death, I have had people cross the road rather than talk.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWhether they think you\u2019re going to fall apart and you\u2019re an emotional wreck, I don\u2019t know. But I will never speak to them again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nHe went on to recall an occasion during which a couple who\u2019d lived near to his and Joan\u2019s holiday home in France ignored him when he waved, saying: \u201cAs I walked towards them they both turned their heads.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI thought, \u2018(F\u2013 you.)\u2019 I felt I was being punished because Joan had died. They had never acknowledged it.
