Had family staying the weekend had a lovely time went down the Thames to Greenwich on Saturday and had a lovely ,but before they came I had a letter from British gas to say they have set up my account ,the only problem is that they they spelt my surname wrong so will need to ring them , I also was very stressed two days before they came down I've started to get my wife's pension put into my account I didn't know that I was getting but then got a email from the tax man saying that they have put me into a higher tax bracket and getting taxed on my wages now so I was very angry but my stepson partner is an accountant she said it will be ok they will change it next month so I felt OK,now they have gone home it's so quiet and without everyone here especially the grandkids
Hi Andrew b
Sorry to hear about your wife and then all the other issues that come along and seem to make life that little bit more miserable at a time that is the last thing you need.
Hope both you and all your family are coping as well as can be expected. There is no "right way" with grief but occasionally people can feel they get a bit stuck and then talking to someone can help - even sharing on here can be a plus.
<<hugs>>
