badvoc, I'm sorry you are feeling rotten, thats a really sore thing you have, I know
. Can the gp give you anything? I've heard its worse than childbirth, so can imagine the pain you are in. You poor soul, you've really been through the ringer. I agree with mummylin, try to get some time and peace for yourself, although I know with little ones thats not easy.
supermario, I'm sorry you are having a rough time too, I really think it might help your ds if he could speak to someone about your mum dying and what the loss means to him, let him talk it out a bit instead of acting it out. I think there are specialists in this kind of thing, maybe try cruse or winstons wish, I think both of you would benefit from this a bit. Of course he's just young, he wont understand his feelings but maybe being able to talk to an adult other than you who understands him would help him a little bit. The wee darling, wish I could give him a hug...and you of course!
mummylin, your wise words here help us all, thank you and hope that chest infection goes away soon.
to everyone else here, sorry i havent named everyone but please know you are welcome to join here for the new posters and for the old buddies, hugs and a cuppa from me xxx
