Thankyou

Hi Mrs VT just wondering do you live Norfolk..with you mentioning East Anglia Air ambulance..sorry random question x

I’m the same as Spirit - Suffolk.

I friend messaged me earlier and asked how I’m coping these last few days. 
I replied - Alcohol, chocolates, familiar films I can recite lines from, alcohol, very long walks and copious crying. 
Her immediate reply? Do you want to come to mine for a few hours. I have alcohol, chocolates, Netflix, dogs that need walking and lots of boxes of tissues.  
I could have hugged her, it was just the right text at the right time to make me smile.

God, it’s hard Christmas and New year isn’t it.  
Not a question. A fact.

Completely. We survived, with my daughters parting gift being to give me her rotten cold.

So now Im on rhe chocolates, films, ( dont drink alcohol) but lemon teas and maybe soup if I can be bothered. And Im still in my PJs, and dont care.

We had a lot of tears but some laughs too. We put a photo and a candle on the table and talked to him all the time. X

SpiritintheSky, do take a look at Wayup (https ://way-up.co.uk/) as there may be a group local to you that you can join. I registered on Wayup about 9 months after my wife, Lin, died and someone contacted me and said I was welcome to join their group. I have met some lovely people who have lost their spouses/partners and we meet-up about 3 times a month for a meal of tenpin bowling. Everyone understands why you are there and are happy to talk about their experiences. Hopefully you will find something.

Take care,

Derek
