so so desperately sad....

[alexsmum]

i have just watched the bbc programme about the tsunami and have been sitting here in tears.I feel so terribly sad, and i want to go upstairs and just hold my boys so tight.I am so thankful for having my family.
I have donated money but it seems like nothing when all these people have lost their children.
Does anyone else feel like they don't ever want to travel anywhere again? I feel like i just want to keep us all safe at home.my in laws live in a country that the foreign office advises people not to go to.They want us to visit..i was very reluctant before this but now there is no chance.which is completely irrational..but how i feel.
sorry to ramble but i am at home alone and just needed to vent.

lou its so good to know that you are back home safe and sound.

since the tsunami happened we've watched alot of the footage and ive felt desperatley for the people who were caught up in it.ive donated money and items to help,but after watching the bbc's programme last night it really hit me of the enormity of it.i cried virtually for the whole hour it was on.
it was the most saddest and most touching programme i have ever watched.

thanks

I'll do it, because i know it will help the kids understand more, and may help me by talking it out a bit.

Plus it is one of my best friends who asked me, and on a slightly frivolous side, i get to stay out overnight and spend time with her. I haven't seen her for ages and she is getting married in june.

glad its not just me feeling this way.Lou i am so glad that you and your family are home and safe.do you think in a way it will be a positive thing for you? What I mean is, no matter how bad things get in the future in terms of day to day life , you will be able to think to yourself...'but we are here together and not dead or with half of us dead.'
i suppose the same applies to all of us.
