Having a bad day

Oh sorry you said you looked already  (smacks self round face) must wake up.

I have to do some work on mums property pre sale...hope sis can do Dad care still.

I've found a friend to take Mums depends underwear. This has pleased me strangely. .they're expensive and I wasn't certain any organisation would take them as packet open.

Going to get coffee

Depends? If you mean sanitary, im dropping mums off to womens homeless charity locally? Wil keep large protector sheet pads for puppy. Mum wld b pleased x

Jen - Tizer On you!

All mum had was her bungalow and bank account.  Not much to sort out really.  I rang the probate help line with a couple of questions so relatively straight forward.

I'm so glad you slept Jenny.  I hope you feel a bit beter today.

I too would like to do something to help with Dignity in Dying.  I think maybe you're right and we could all do this together.  I actually feel very stongly about it.

Jenny, I'll have diet coke please.  :-)

Hugs to all.

My neice has just announced that she's engaged, which is lovely, but I know that mum would have been over the moon and she never got to see it.  I was feeling OK this morning but not so much now.  I want to get off of this rollercoaster.

Morning all, hope you are all "ok". Rollercoaster it certainly is!!

Went to my GP yesterday to get the grief counselling ball rolling which I have now done. Admitted to Dr I was struggling in my head to deal with all that's happened so we will see what comes from it as time passes 

My lovely niece is pregnant with twin girls and due to give birth in late April which is wonderful and obviously during her pregnancy she has had to deal with the deaths of Jill and her grandma (MIL) so it's nice now to be able to look forward to some happy event, although like you Elenium I know how much Jill would have loved and adored to be here when these two gifts arrive, she was so close to her niece she is almost like a daughter to us 

Feel a bit blue today but what can you do?? Just one foot in front of the other again today 

Hope today is a little brighter for you all, page 100!!!! Wow. I feel very lucky to have been a small part of the book, thank you to you all for letting me share it x

Agree wholeheartedly can we get off this roller coaster. My brain is rather deranged.   Hospital email suggest counselling beginning of April for me.

Hug.

I agree with you Jenny.

The last days were gradually horrendously painful in spite of drugs, a struggle for Bob and of course as a result horrendous and traumatic for us all to see him like this,  I would never want anyone to endure such pain or for my children to witness suffering like that again. I find myself thinking I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy if I had one, (don't think I do).

I think I said before, the doctors always spout the mantra quality of life, that is utter tosh in the last days. Yet they must witness it all the time so how Can they believe what they Say?

Bless your mum, I'm hoping she enjoyed spending Every penny!

Love to all x

yantibee - your posts have been inspirational and very special and deeply moving. Please do know that I, like many, know how much Jill was loved, the type of relationship people dream of having, a love very deep. So your journey with your darling lady has been more than words, because your eloquence,open heart and sharing has allowed us all to be in your shoes  and feel it too.  So Uncle Yantibee, Im sure the little gifts will learn just how wonderful your family are and even though Jill isnt here physically Im quite sure that the feeling in your home and your heart will be felt for many years to come. i do hope that the support you will get from counselling helps for you to have a place to be just be you without a role.... Keep walking Yantibee and thankyou for being part of my journey too. Really I will never forget any of you on here.

a thought, assuming we are all of resonable health perhaps we meet on a walk followed by a picnic - not sure if ive got my rose tinteds on but i do know if up for it. x
