Badvoc · 04/04/2014 14:53

T....I wish I knew what to say to you :(

The next few days will be very very hard for you. We are here x

ssd · 04/04/2014 15:15

yes we are xxx

have pm'd you t x

mummylin2495 · 04/04/2014 16:40

T I feel our pain. Likeyou it was a terrible terrible shock when I lost my mum too. I'm sure it is this that stops me moving forward at such a slow pace. I go over and over it in my head and none of it makes any sense. Like you I think how could I of been talking to mum on sat eve, then on Sunday morn she was gone with no warning. I understand your despair . We are all here for you x

Hugs to all of us a massive group hug (((())))
Lin so hard isn't it, i remembered its Sunday the 6th she had the stroke and then next week the 12th is when she passed. Sad it is bloody hard to not feel like this sometimes, the despair and the void/loneliness and the missing over whelms at times doesn't it.

I can imagine though there must be double hard for you Really is a killer isn't it to think we were talking to them it doesn't make sense, i just know I seriously cant think too deep where i was going today it polverised me Sad

Thanks Badvoc hope ds got on ok, and big hugs for you

ssd a good reminder, i am feeling less despairing now, although i know im skirting on the surface..

thank you so much guys, as you always know im here for you too, we are all together a little cyber family Thanks x

Badvoc · 04/04/2014 18:02

It's hard T. Very hard.
My dad was preparing to get dressed for a wedding when he died.
He was sat on the bed talking my mum about the hotel pillows.
Then he was gone.
Just like that.
The kindest, most gentle man I have ever known.
I will miss him for the rest of my life.

supermariossister · 04/04/2014 18:20

T, I cant say much to help you feel better as I know the bleak place where you think of all the what ifs and whys but I can offer an ear to bend and to know you are not alone in this. I have found such support and friendship here, even laughter in the most grim days.

ssd - glad you are back online! its weird how much you miss it isn't it

Badvoc how is ds now? and how are you?

Linn, How are you feeling? reading some of the things you say is heartbreaking but we all know what it feels like you. it is such a strange thought that someone is there and then they are not.

Sorry I haven't been around much been busy here and feeling abit lonely and down, haven't been much company to be honest!

t875 · 04/04/2014 18:45

badvoc - omg thats just awful, how terrible, Sad the shock you all must have had i know oh so well the despairing feeling. Tell you what though my mum was saying some weird things on the day before though, she wasnt right when i looked back on it not enough for us to see anything though..

SM thanks hun, hope your going along ok, i know what you mean we have had some laughs in the darkness havent we x

supermariossister · 04/04/2014 19:02

we have, my grandparents always said if you don't laugh you'll cry. never understood but they've got a point.

Badvoc · 04/04/2014 19:53

Yes, the constant doubting and "what ifs" are crippling at times T.
Ds2 seems a bit Perkier but I hardly dare say it after last week....:(
Currently watching frozen :)
"Do you want to build a snowman?" :)

t875 · 04/04/2014 23:53

Omg if I hear that song anymore - do you wNt to build a snow man " arghh!! Grin

t875 · 06/04/2014 18:11

Thanks ssd. (()) xx

mummylin2495 · 07/04/2014 20:25

On hearing the sad news of Peaches Geldofs death, it straightaway has transported me back to when my sister died. She was just one year older and I know the devastation her family will be feeling. My sister also left a young daughter, who sadly dosent remember her mum at all. It is a tragic loss to the Geldof family and I send them deepest sympathies.

OP posts:
Badvoc · 07/04/2014 20:29

Very eloquently put, Lin.
Tragic for her family.
RIP.

t875 · 07/04/2014 23:15

god its beyond tragic isn't it Lin, so very very sad! I cant imagine how her family are feeling and them poor children.

Do they know what happened? she lived in Kent x

Well got through the time of my mum having her stroke, been hard to not think of this time 2 years ago but ive tried to do this. Ive had sad times though!

i have had good news job front though after 3 years of temping, im being taken on at my contract for a fixed term contract!!!! i believe my mum brought that job to me! although i wish i could hear her say "well done t" and throw her arms around me Sad

Im over the moon, the stability for my family and knowing we will have incoming money is so very relieving rather that my work starting and stopping and contracts coming to an end!!

so a tiny silver lining for april after all the crapness of it!! xx

mummylin2495 · 08/04/2014 00:31

Oh that's great to hear some good news for you t when will your contract start ? How many hours will you be working ? Much easier to plan stuff when you have a regular income isn't it. Glad you have got through your sad day.
Yes I saw that she lived there , it's terrible

mummylin2495 · 08/04/2014 15:48

Hope you are all doing ok and taking care of yourselves as well as everyone else. It's a lovely sunny day today which does lift the spirits a little bit.had a lovely morning catching up with an old friend that popped round. She was there when I got the call about my mum and was very kind at that time. Talked so much I now have a sore throat !
