Nice to hear we seem to be in the same boat and are both quite apprehensive. I have also wanted to do this trip after losing my husband nine years ago next month. It is very daunting but am looking forward to it. You did not say where you are from. As I explained I am from Manchester and have booked a flight to Heathrow the day before and booked an airport hotel. If you are also flying from Manchester it would be good to meet up perhaps. I have put my husband's name as user name not realising this was used for communication which may cause confusion. Be nice to hear back.
