Hi,
I'm just wondering whether anyone has heard from stars in her eyes since last night? I've only just read the blog that she wrote last night & noticed that she has added the comment on her home page "is going to the stars". I'm just feeling rather concerned at the moment. Is any one aware whether admin might be able to get on touch with her?
If you are reading this "stars in her eyes", then please add a comment, as I am sure that I am not the only person very worried about you...
Hi everyone! I feel the time is right for me to lay my emotions open regarding the last 16 weeks (today) since my beloved hubby Peter passed away!
In the first couple of months I did what I knew I had to do, arranging funeral, paying bills, in my name. Sorting out Peter's clothes, etc. Pretending things were being dealt with in a normal 'bereaved' way, trying to put on an act for the family, friends and neighbours! I managed reasonably well which surprised me. I thought....this isn't as difficult...

well yesterday i went down to glasgow for the mesothelioma action day which was held at the city chambers - the first one to be held in scotland.
the speakers were good and i was glad to see that they had a couple of people there who had meso speaking too (which was very brave of them) which i thought was quite inspiring.
at lunch time, however, when we had the chance to talk to the speakers i suggested that maybe next year they could touch upon the alternative therapies out there for people.....
