    Thanks for your kind words and thoughts Denise, I really do appreciate them, and apologies for being slow in responding. I have tried all ways to get counselling quicker, but all to no avail. I'm waiting on LOROS to call me with an appointment for next week. This will be for an initial "one...

    Not yet Denise. I'm very very frustrated by this as you can probably imagine. I can't remeber whether I'd told you that CRUSE had intimated that it may be as long as 6 months to start counselling with them so I contacted LOROS in Leicester, which is one of the places Angela was cared for...

    I'm so grateful for the replies I've had on here, and the offers of friendship and support. I spoke about the apparent long(ish) wait for Cruse to offer actual counselling, and I've now spoken to my GP about that. His response was initially one of surprise, because he didn't realise that...

    My mum had breast cancer twice and she pulled through it, so we were suprised to hear she had cancer again but this time in the brain. The times she had breast cancer i was always confident she would be fine i always thought in my head "you can remove a breast, she will be fine." and she was...

    Feeling like there must be something wrong - I know my husband is dead but it really just doen't feel like it. I've just been telling someone about his illness & dying and I know what happened but it feels like I'm describing someone else's life. Is it normal to feel like this so...

    How wish i could hang this round my neck so people who say your doing well could see how i feel. Dont think I do not feel because you see no tears.
