I have just had a text from one of my brothers. He was in Waitrose and saw someone take two bottles of spirits. My brother told him to put it back so the thief put one back, my brother said if he didnt put the other one back he would call the police. Anyway he did put the other one down in a basket of stuff my brother told a member of staff and when he got to checkout they gave him an envelope and inside was A £10 voucher ! A nice story for a change

Mummylin - I havent had a chance to come on here. Your book with the robin ornament and the verses for your mum and sister were lovely.

I brought my mum a plastic card with nice words i will come back a bit later and type it up.
i will be back in a bit.
Thinking of you all, ((hugs))

supermariossister · 09/12/2013 17:58

mummylin2495 · 09/12/2013 18:08

Well I don't go there I shop at Asda !!! That was far too young for your mum to die SM. it's so unfair when there are so many evil sods around. She looks lovely.

if you click on someone's name it should bring up their profile where you can click to view photos Grin

FriendofDorothy · 09/12/2013 23:48

I just feel sad today. Hmm

Has anyone tried bereavement counselling? If so, did you find it useful?

supermariossister · 10/12/2013 07:08

sorry you feel sad today , my sister has been to counselling sessions and I think the reason she said itr helped the most was being able to talk to someone outside of the situation who she didn't mind upsetting and she could speak freely with

Badvocatyuletide · 10/12/2013 07:30

FOD...my sister is having bereavement counselling through a local hospice. There is also cruse.
Normally they say that you shouldn't start counselling until at least 6 months after your loss but in our case they made an exception...our family situation has been pretty horrendous since dad died (mum, then my uncle, now my aunt) and of course then my sister was dx as diabetic so I think she has lots of issues to talk through.
Going to see my aunt this morning a nc make her some breakfast etc.
She is fading fast now.
I don't think I can bear it.

supermariossister · 10/12/2013 07:44

sorry badvoc. am glad you can spend some time with her though try and find a reason to share a smile. any reason will do . life is not fair all

t875 · 10/12/2013 08:06

FOD hi Hun. Supermario is spot on about her sister. I
I had 4 sessions with CRUSE and it was well worth it. It really helped me. Just to be able to talk out all the feelings with someone outside.

I also before I had the councelling phoned the generic cruse line which is 24 hours and they were great to talk too.
I know how your feeling the shock of what happened to my mum shook me mentally physically all ways. Still can't believe it some days.

The only other thing that's helped me as times gone on believing she is with me as we have had a lot happen messages. I truly believe they Are but as I've said before some days it's just not enough. But this is me.
And I know my mum would be kicking me up the arse to get up out of bed to move on my day.

Pm me anytime if you need a chat. Hugs to you xx

Hi all.

Hope everyones ok today. It was a murky start to the morning here but now the sun is shining.

Sorry I've not been around much, life has been pretty hectic.
Mum and Dads house now has a sold board outside Sad It's going to be a while until it's completed though so I don't have to worry about that just yet.

super My robin is looking lovely on my tree Smile I clicked on your profile and thought that must be a picture of you, your mum was so young Sad Hope you're doing ok.
You're so young too, I'm 33 if anyones interested!

I met my friend for lunch yesterday, she said whilst we were out she had a few presents to get. She went on to choose something for her mum and something for her dad. I honestly don't think she meant to be so heartless, but I was gutted. I just wandered off to look at decorations. People who haven't lost someone really don't get it do they? After we'd finished I went to the crem to 'see' my mum and dad.
