Trin, if there were water powered cars, we'd all be round at yours Smile

Are you bearing up? Xx

Hi, Trinity, I am sure we've had a laugh on a thread way back (you were on the lesbian and gay bakery products thread with me, I think), so I know your name.

I just wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss. Yes, you have horrible images, but you were there for Cliff, until the last. You did your very best. You couldn't have done anymore, and for a large part of it, I bet Cliff was very much aware of your presence. I lost my Nan earlier in the year and that was hard for me, so I can't imagine your pain, but I hope you feel better and someday soon, are able to savour the nice memories.

So sorry to read of your loss. It is unspeakably shit, that is right. Your love for your girls shines through, hold fast to them and do whatever gets you through the day. So many here with wise words already, I just want to send love strength hugs cake and for you to know you are not alone. We may be just words on a screen but behind the screen is a world of women sitting standing and walking this long road with you. Hope today goes as well as it can, just one day at a time Trin.

Oh yes, if we had water powered cars I'd bring all my hooks round to yours, and my needles - purling is quite easy but easier to learn by watching than by explanation. YouTube is your friend there.

Thinking of you with candle lit.

Morning Trinity, I hope you are bearing up. I just wanted to say, your obvious love for Cliff has always shone through on the occasions you have posted about him. Cling to that maybe; how happy you were, how he helped you and the DC to smile again, how he kept you grounded.

I know its trite, and one hell of a cliche, but the "Better to have loved and lost" line is very true in my opinion. Don't focus on the fact he has gone, take comfort from the fact that he was there at all.

Thinking of you still my love.

Just signing in to the new thread :)

{{{hugs}}}

I've signed up for your blanket too.
I thought that it's funny that you've chosen sea themes when DP's name is Cliff.
I think (from what I've learned about his sense of humour), he'd think that's funny too.

Trinity Haven't been in touch on the decluttering thread as life fell apart for me a bit but nothing like you have facing you just now.

Had to laugh at the Happy Hooker book title. Grin

When I was 18 I went to stay with some Canadian friends near Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The mum took me along to a craft group she had joined who showed me how to do rug hooking-they were all 70+ & called themselves "The Happy Hookers" & giggled everytime they told anyone!

Just a silly story.....more gentle hugs to you all xxxx

Trin - just a thought - would a cow be inappropriate on your blanket? Or would it make you smile?

Checking in on the new thread too just to say hello and that I'm still thinking if you and your gorgeous girls. Hope you've got a good supply of tea and cake and some distracting activities. Knitting could be a good hobby to start as it's supposed to be therapeutic.

Trinity, I agree so much with something that mouseface posted on your previous thread - it was something about how Cliff had made you stronger, and how that will never leave you...

I remember your posts when Neil died, and some of the difficulty and chaos you had to face afterwards, and I have to say you sound like a much, much stronger person. You are stronger and more resilient, and having Cliff in your life has helped with that. But the strength is yours, and even without Cliff as a physical presence beside you, there will be times when the strength of his spirit and yours (together) will get you through. Of course there may be moments of complete despair, but I also think that if those moments happen you will find strength and support from somewhere inside, and you'll keep on putting one foot in front of the other, until you get through the crisis moment.

I read posts about the really practical things you are doing - having a shower, doing things with your dc, what you've eaten, doing the washing up. And every time I give a little cheer. It's important for you, and it's important for the girls.

This is such a terrible thing to happen to you, and you will survive.

Hey Trin

Just wanted to send you some Mousey love to you all today and say a HUGE thank you Thanks to YellowDinosaur for C&Ping my post from the last thread to here, typo's and grammatical errors included! Grin

Carrying on with the knitting/crocheting theme, my mum is in a group of ladies who quilt. She calls it her Bitch & Stitch group. I found out by chance one night after calling to speak to her, only for my father to say "She's gone to Bitch & Stitch" Grin

Maybe that could be a side line for the WoollyHugs? lot? Wink

Hope you've all had something to eat today, and that you got some sleep? Do you need an on-line food shop doing or anything? It's no bother, you can FB me a list?

Mouse xx
