I know "this too shall pass"
My sisters father in law died last week - he was a lovely man and more like a grandfather to DS than my own (sadly) and I may have to miss the funeral as its half term week and one day that the rugby camp DS is on is finishing early. Lots of friends don't seem to understand why I don;t just palm him off on someone we don;t know well or send him to a camp he hasn't been to before. But his anxiety has been quite severe over the summer and he's really only just started sleeping through the night again and stopped melting down at every sports club he does. I just don't want to take the risk although I want to go to the funeral. Ken, would I'm sure have been the first one to tell me not to stress about it, but I do want to go and I'm sad that I may not be abe to.
Then yesterday morning my friends DH died. He had brain cancer and had been in a coma for a few days so we knew it would be soon. They are such a lovely family, I feel so terribly sad for them.
And I have a pile of work to do and the AGM accounts to prepare for Friday.
This will pass, won't it. I do feel a bit self-indulgent that I'm upset - it wasn't my husband/father who's died.
