Poor Steve and poor you OJ.

onlyjoking9329 · 24/02/2008 00:14

well the hospice will do the best they can to keep him safe, the coctoe there said that they would do the best that they can the other option was the psych ward and that would keep him safer but would not be the bedt place for him, it is not like they can give him a few pills and he will be cured. thou i wish it were that easy.

Thinking of you OJ. Hope you get some sleep.

OJ - hello - I am triplets friend - we met through strange circumstances - we both lost little boys (I lost 2 - not that this is any competition) called Matthew. I have tried to avoid this thread cause I know how much trips cares for you and your circumstances and - to be honest - I am afraid of sadness at the moment.

I would just like to say - You are all in so many peoples thoughts and .....never forget you will get the greatest gift a human being can ever get....the chance to say goodbye, i love you with all my heart.

Sorry to intrude I just ran in and left my thoughts and now I will run away again like the coward I am

I hope Steve can find peace, you are a lovely person who deserves so much more.

mother3 · 24/02/2008 09:48

I hope you can all find peace.Its a sad time of life for all of you.All you can do at the moment is take each day as you do and try to get on with your life with your children as well.It is hard to say goodbye but steve prob finds it hard to be positive.All you can do is what you are doing at the moment and be there .Hope you can get some peace of mind with what you are going through,it must be so hard for you.Its harder for you has u also have to keep the family together as well as you in your own mind with all the anxiety .Dont see why some people have really bad times in life when others are nasty evil people(just see the news)Hope you are getting suport from others i know mumsnett does help.Try to be positive even for your own self as you cant do no more than you have done.

OJ I have been away for a week and came back and wanted to see how you and Steve are doing. I am beyond sorry that you have having to go through this.

Hope you got some sleep last night.

robinpud · 24/02/2008 11:56

How are you today OJ- are you taking the children to see Steve?

toomanydaves · 24/02/2008 12:25

TimeForMe · 24/02/2008 12:34

Thinking about you today OJ, and sending lots of love for you, Steve and the children xxx

Elibean · 24/02/2008 15:47

Thinking of you too, OJ...have been away, and am so sorry to come back and see the hassles you've had with hospitals and MILs on top of the pain and grief of Steve's illness.

Wishing you all some peace, I hope the hospice are helping as much as possible. xxx

onlyjoking9329 · 24/02/2008 17:58

shabster thankyou for dropping by, it was a diffult thing for you to do and also very brave of you, i am sad to see that you know only to well about loss and for you to have lost two children, well i don't know how you cope and offer your support to others too. i am glad you have found a friend in triplets she is fab.

thinking of you all xx

onlyjoking9329 · 24/02/2008 21:01

oh sweetie I'm really sorry about what's happening

fryalot · 24/02/2008 21:06

oh, oj

I wish I had some words to make you feel better. Know that all our thoughts are with you right now.

shabster · 24/02/2008 21:08

OJ - the coward has returned I was so sad to read your last post. Not sure if there are any answers - just lots of love and support to you.

Im not sure how we do it, but when trips and I speak to each other - even when we are both very down - it always ends in laughter!!

I suppose that many people would think we were crazy but for us it works. We are not disrespecting each other just coping the only way we know how.

Unusually, for me, Im not sure of the right words - everything I type out looks ridiculous.

Thinking of you

39andcounting · 24/02/2008 21:08

Hi OJ, sorry to hear you've had such a bad day. xx

Anymore talk of a psych ward ? Surely the hospice is the best place ?

mummylin2495 · 24/02/2008 21:08

i am at a loss to know what to say to you now oj.But you are in my thoughts,what a terrible situation for all of you.

WingsofanAngel · 24/02/2008 21:09

Oh bless you Oj. I feel for you all.There are no words that can express how I feel for you. I only wish you even more strength than you already have to cope with the time ahead.

A {{{{hug}}} does not seem enough.
