Bad day..

[Blackdog19]

Not really sure why I’m posting, lying here unable to sleep. My poor dh found out tonight that a uni friend has died. Only in his forties. Feel so sad for his family. And awful, but i can’t stop thinking that it could have been my dh. So much more unimportant but My dd starts secondary school next week. She wasn’t so keen on the one we chose, but she has 3 girls from school going and will be in her class (1 is her best friend). She enjoyed induction and was getting excited. Found out yesterday that her best friend has done a late application for another school and is now going elsewhere. She’s gutted and I feel so sad for her. I know she’ll make new friends, but that doesn’t help now! Sorry no AIBU really. Just feel v low.

My youngest started secondary school last year and whilst he went up with some friends from junior school, he has made a tonne of new friends too, she will be absolutely fine.

I feel for your husband. I lost my best friend a few years ago (he was also a very good friend to my wife) and I still miss him to this day. That and a couple of big health scares since has told me to just live each day as it comes and above all, just enjoy life, my boys and my wife.

None of us know what's around the corner (a bit cliche, but true), so just take each day as it comes.

I lost my best friend in her 40s to a brain tumour(she left 2 children). She was dead in 12 months and there was nothing the doctors could do for her - life is very unfair.

Thank you both for posting. I’m so sorry for your losses.

Your daughter will be absolutely fine. I met my best friend in secondary school. No longer speak to any primary school friends and haven't for years.

I'm sorry for your husbands loss. Were they close?

Thank you. They weren’t particularly close in recent years, no. My dh isn’t great at arranging meet-ups and they weren’t geographically particularly close either.
