How has 2018 treated you?

[YorkshireIndie]

Just feeling like this year will never end and was wondering how everyone's year has been?

My 2018 has consisted of grandparents in and out of hospital with sadly one of them passing away, my cousin whose daughter was a flower girl at my wedding tried very hard to be unhelpful and then I have two non fault accidents within three weeks of each other!!! Plus to top it off I am sure the car shared by DP and myself if trying to die on us or at the very most cost us ££££

So cheer me up (or keep me company with how much worse can this year get) - has anyone had a good year?

Crap. Both my parents and my aunt died and I lost my job and have got into debt.

I was going to say that it’s been a really crap year and I’ll be glad to see the back of it, but having read some of these heart breaking posts I realise that i’m very lucky to have my health and 3 lovely children and Grandchildren. to all of those who have lost loved ones and had such a difficult and sad year.

Saddest year of my life. My lovely Dad began to lose feeling in his limbs about this time last year. He lost all his mobility before being diagnosed with terminal spinal cancer on Jan 2nd. He went through major spinal surgery, two courses of radiotherapy & chemo, but never regained any mobility and was completely bed-bound for the last 6 weeks of his life.

However, we had the most beautiful 7 months with him until he died at the end of July. We laughed, cried and spent more time together as a family than ever before, making so many memories that we'll cherish forever. My Dad was SO accepting, patient and strong...and had us in fits of laughter right up until the day he died. My Mum has been incredible - a real inspiration. I'm closer then ever with my siblings, and my husband & kids have made me proud & grateful every single day.

I'm so glad that we had chance to tell him how very much we loved him, how grateful we were to him, and that we got the chance to say goodbye. I read some of the other heart-breaking stories on here and realise that however sad I feel, I still have so much to be thankful for.

Here's to 2019...may it be a happier year for us all xx

It has been simultaneously one of the best years of my life and one of the worst. One of the best because of work and one of the worst because of bereavement. It has been the highest high and the lowest low.

Not as bad as 2017.
In 2018
Was reported by neighbour to SS (son has ASD and she never thought to ask) after the second time we moved house
DP lost his job and is depressed
DS's bio dad dropped off the surface of the earth late 2017 and DS is distraught (man's a total cunt ignoring DS's texts saying how much he loves him 😡)

Good things
Had two lovely holidays
Summer was nice weather wise
Love the new house
