< stops acting gruff >

Thanks, M, I know you're always there for me.

I can't quite bring myself to print it all out but you can probably guess the length of it

The problem, not his willy I mean

Tn0g · 25/01/2009 15:17

Yes, friend who lost her son.

How do you deal with that kind of loss?

How do you keep putting one foot infront of the other?

mummylin2495 · 25/01/2009 15:17

yes, is it going to be the same outcome as before ?

OP posts:
Tn0g · 25/01/2009 15:22

awful.

her heart must be completely broken.

mummylin2495 · 25/01/2009 15:23

OP posts:
Tn0g · 25/01/2009 15:24

I have to go in a min.

Sorry for being a huge moany pain in the backside, droning on about you never being here to listen to my woes.

Tn0g · 25/01/2009 15:25

I think we will always be like this

I just worry about impact on G.

mummylin2495 · 25/01/2009 15:26

yes it is,she is devastaed and will never forgive herself for goingout to the shop at tha time,she nearly didnt go and delayed ittill the next day but she did.She dosent eat hardly at all [ though because i cooked for her she ate it im glad to say.} the pain must be unbearable for her

OP posts:
mummylin2495 · 25/01/2009 15:27

im usually around somewhere ,and i always look for you ,i have either missed you or you havent posted.you should know by now that i will be here for you .

OP posts:
Tn0g · 25/01/2009 15:27

she must have the most dreadful images in her head.

He must have been so alone.

In his mind I mean.

mummylin2495 · 25/01/2009 15:29

he will be fine tnog ,as long as there is a lot of communication between you all.Its very difficult to know what to say/tell him now he is getting a bit older as well

OP posts:
mummylin2495 · 25/01/2009 15:31

yes he must of been ina very bad place ,there have been a lot of rumours aboutdrugs involved ,and i dontknow if they are true or not,butheis still herson and as you say the image will haunt her forever.Oh my god I cant imagine it.she has a web site for him and she writes the most lovely letters and things to him.She has another son but that hasnt helped her at all,and the one who died had two children

OP posts:
Tn0g · 25/01/2009 15:32

I think you're right.

i never imagined my life would be like this.

It's good in lots of ways, i'm fortunate in some aspects, lesss so in others.

G knows he's loved, cherished and he'll make his own way, but i don't want him look back with resentment and unhappiness because of selfishness and lack of commitment on our part.

Tn0g · 25/01/2009 15:33

I wonder does she feel she let him down in some way?

mummylin2495 · 25/01/2009 15:33

some people have terrible things to cope with in their lives,and it seems that tragedy stalks them,her husband was killed in a car crash many years ago now

OP posts:
Tn0g · 25/01/2009 15:34

She didn't, of course.

i just wonder how you face it all.

mummylin2495 · 25/01/2009 15:37

she feels she should of noticed there was something wrong ,but she didnt,he may of tried to shield her from bad things going on. tong G will know that he is loved by both of you,that is the main thing.he needs to know that its nothing he can prevent,but you need to tell him why dh feels the need to do this.You obviously dont tell him anything he dosent need to know,just the basics,he is too young for major details ,but as i said ,as long as he knows that he is loved all will be well,he is 12 now isnt he ?

OP posts:
Tn0g · 25/01/2009 15:40

Poor woman.

G is 11, soon 12.

Dh and I will remain in this home together and I'll/we'll try and work on whatever needs working on.

I am partly/largely to blame, I recognise that.

mummylin2495 · 25/01/2009 15:40

i dont think she can face it at all.And she is no further down the line from when it happened.It was three yeras ago about a fortnight before xmas ,which of course she dosent now celebrate ,not even cards.she avoids seeing people ,stays in her bedroom ,dosent eat,and just thinks about it all,all the time.its tragic

OP posts:
mummylin2495 · 25/01/2009 15:43

,i dare say there is blame on both sides really ,but no point dwelling on that ,all you can do is to give it your best shot,and both make changes that will bring solutions for both of you.Its not dead yet tnog so dont give up on it.

OP posts:
mummylin2495 · 25/01/2009 15:45

its obvious that you love dh,and im sure he cares about you too,while there is still love there is a lot of hope.Its when there is no love at all,that its the end.

OP posts:
mummylin2495 · 25/01/2009 16:01

well ,i guess you have gone off for a while so i will come back in an hour and see if you reappear,keep your chin up tnog x
