How are we all doing ?

Hi Jane, sorry to hear about your mum. Hope you and your sister can support each other through this sad time. xxx

Hi Clare, sorry to hear of your family's illness and that things are so busy for you. Hope you will save some time and energy to look after yourself too. xx

Hi Jane

I am sorry to read your post. I lost my Mum 6 years ago today. When it happened there was a feeling of relief as she was not suffering anymore but the grief happened big time. You will now grieve for her. Please do not rush this or try to brush it aside.  She will always be with you and eventually the grief will become gentle as it has for me.

My thoughts are with you and your sister. Google 'the seven stages of grief' it helped me a lot

Love Inanna x

Dear Jane, a dual reply, First sorry for delay re sister in law. hectic few days, electricians Thurs/Fri last week prior to decorators Mon-yesterday this week, and today sister in law went walkabout again. Mercifully a neighbour spotted her already a mile from home getting onto a Southend-bound bus, and soon after, a carer from the company now looking after her spotted her.. So she was ferried home safe. But lots of phone calls again as a result...

Secondly and rather more importantly, so very sorry to hear that your brave Mum's life is drawing to a close after such long suffering. So glad you have been able to visit, hope you have plenty of good memories to sustain you in the time to come; from what you've said here and there I guess you have...thoughts are with you and your sister and indeed John and other family.

That’s good to hear.Take care.x
