My husband died in my arms on the 2nd May (2009) - what happens now?

Welcome to Alfie, so sorry you have to join us.  These girls and Dave are a great bunch, it is such a comfort just to read the posts and not feel so alone.  Sue jump in the middle, I am ready to take on the outside again. Huge hugs for you this week and hope you are doing ok.  So many posts to keep up with, I am lost again.  My pea brain can't keep up with you all.

I am on top of the ground again, out of the hole.  Yesterday was not bad, today I was pretty good until I decided I had better go and order the plaque.  I am planting a tree in Gaspe (and no have not decided what kind, where to get it or how to get it 1,000 miles) and I want to put a plaque in the ground at the base.  Should have expected the meltdown but that took me by surprise.  Anyway I will get a price quote tomorrow and it should all be taken care of by then, it will take about 5 weeks and I am needed it by early July.  I am fine now, just a major meltdown in the car on the way to the shop and in the shop.  By the time I got back to work, after stopping to do a few errands, I was ok again.  I am glad I didn't go when I was in the pit! 

Group again tomorrow and I do look forward to that.  It is hard to go back to work after but I can't' just take days off all the time so I must go back.  And Monday is a holiday here so it will be great to get away to Ottawa this time for the weekend. 

Enjoy John Edward, he is fantastic.  Good luck with the car Rosemary, hello to Fiona, Patricia, Leslie, Ailsa, Manda, Judi and everyone else, you know how it is when the brain doesn't work very well.

My dear friend Sue,
I am so so sorry to hear that it was you but agree with Helen that things happen for a reason although dont think that this will help the way that you feel right now.
Sending you so many ((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))) right now.
Love Quill xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh no Sue, I am so sorry, it is the big meeting at my school tonight where the governors vote on whether to go ahead with proposed re-structure. So I may be hearing similar news in the next couple of weeks. Although to be honest I can't actually be bothered to get worked up about it, if it happens I will just look for another job or go on supply for a while.

It is the last thing you need though, so many changes over the past year and now another one to deal with. I know it is easier said than doen but maybe if you think of it as a fresh start?

Anyway no I am thinking of you.

Sue I'm so sorry to read your news but have to agree with Helen & Lesley.  Things usually happen for a reason even if it isn't clear at first.  Lots of ((((((bug higs)))))).  Please take care of yourself as you had enough on your plate already this week.  Ailsa xxx
