The difference between knowing and not knowing!
We all leave in the end but for most people, they don't always know until nearer the end
I guess with incurable disease, we often get advanced notice of some kind but even that doesnt mean anything.
I have thoughts like this, sometimes. Even today, i was treated to another trip to.the Bluebells near Wickham and I was thinking about the number of young people ive known who went suddenly.
Still, the Bluebells look good. They've had the longest best.season.down here. I cannot think of better place to be again today
Take care everyone

I have been thinking about this a lot over the last few months, as my dear friend passed away very suddenly 9 months ago. She was sat on the sofa, next to her husband watching tv, and her heart just stopped. A healthy 50 year old with no health problems, just left us.
To be honest, I am still trying to process the fact that she is no longer here. I can’t go to places that we used to go together. I actually thought I saw her in Tesco last week. My husband saw the colour drain from my face, and saw why for himself, this lady looked so much like her. But for me I went through a whole survivor’s guilt feeling. Why was she taken when I had been “dying” for 8 years. I wondered if our friends were feeling that way too, that it wasn’t fair that she was taken when I was still here.
Grief is never easy whether we are prepared or not. But I think it is so important to tell the people who we care about the most, how we feel, and you don’t get that opportunity when it is sudden.
