Mel, sorry to read of Dennis's passing. Sending you much love.
Em, hope all goes well for you tomorrow, will be thinking of you.
Sam.. hope this weekend wasnt too hard, your Dad made the sun shine for you this weekend giving you some strength and warmth to help you cope with some hard taks. Much love.
Helen... Hope you are doing OK, and enoying some sun with your little man.
Bern.. Hope the new job is going OK and looking forward to you become a regular poster again.
Rochelle.. Thank-you for your kind words. I hope you are finding some strength in each day. I read on your memory thread to your mum that it's your son's birthday today. The first anniversary's are always so hard, but as Melly said your Mum was definately looking down on you and Jaden today and shining her big torch so you could see her clearly. Weve had such terrible weather for weeks and weeks and on the weekend when you most need sunshine it arrives in all it's glory.
Jac... hoping things are OK, sending you much love and strength
Wendy, hope your new little man is bringing you lots of love and some smiles. I have two little one's myself and know how hard the first year can be with a new baby let alone trying to cope with a bereavement. Sending you much love.
Nic, sending you love if you are looking in xxx
Sorry if i have missed anyone, but you are all in my thoughts.
We are going on holiday on Saturday to Turkey for 2 weeks, keep your fingers crossed that Thomas Cook doesnt go bust either, as we have never needed a holiday so much before.
Much love to all, Michelle xxxxxxxxxxxx
Morning everyone
Em - thinking of you today hun X
Michelle - thank you for your kind words yesterday. I hope all goes well for your holiday and that you manage to relax a little. Like you said to me, a break away doesn't change the reality of it all but it does you good to just get away from everyday life for a while X

Bern - missing you X
Helen - thank you for our chat on Saturday hun. I loves you loads and hope you ok today X
Jac - we are all still with you in spirit and hoping to hear from you soon X

Morning everyone, it's so lovely to see lots of posts again!
Em - thanks for updating us, I was wondering how things had gone for you. I will keep my fingers crossed that the iron helps you hun and that you start to feel a lot better soon X
Nic - it's good to see you around. Big (((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))) for today. These days are so hard to get through, just remember we are all there with you in spirit X
Melly - I hope your day is not too busy and that you can manage to get a little me time as well. Will talk tomorrow my friend X
SAM Sam - it's lovely to see your post and I'm glad you had a good time on Sat night X
Rochelle - I hope the sun shining yesterday, made it a little easier to get through. It sounds as though your lovely mum was looking down on you all X
Michelle - how are things going with the counselling hun, you haven't mentioned it for a while X
Bern - it's great to have you back again with your wonderful words of wisdom X
Well my friends, I have started to really struggle the last few days and have been feeling really down and there is so much negative stuff going around my head it's unbelievable. I'm hoping it's all part of the grieving process and not that I'm suffering from depression. I had wondered whether to take a bit of time off from the site for a little while as seeing all the heartbreaking posts, is not helping at all. I'm not sure if this is the answer though as I still need to be amongst my friends here, those who understand how this feels. I wrote a huge post yesterday pouring my heart out but ended up cancelling it as it didn't seem to make any sense. Nothing new there!
Love you all,
Sam X
