Hello Paps how are you? Hello Tamba I dont know you yet!

I am in need of a calm space due to meting x tonight. I am going to be cool and distant.

IN the meantime sunflower man is strolling with me waving his parasol and talking in many languages, all of which I understand, about the mysterious beyond and the meaning of things. I am enjoying the sunshine and the lake sparkling and glimmering and revealing its secret glitter stones in its clear blue depths.

Hi Glitterfairy, greetings All

Yesterday I would have just said, "I am tired"

Today I say "I am tired as well as resigned, angry and abit staunch about the fact that DH father died this morning and he is off to NZ for 2 weeks as of tomorrow"

cést la vie

melsy · 13/12/2005 10:15

On my paps , Im so very sorry that he has passed. My love to you and dh. Do you have anyone to come over to be with you and the babas?

tamba · 13/12/2005 10:15

Sorry to hear about your Fil Paps - does this mean you will be spending christmas with out your DH?

You do know me glitter (HB)

I have a yukky flu type thing today as do the boys but at least its out he way for christmas

Papillon · 13/12/2005 10:30

Yes, Tamba it does. We were going to his sisters place, but she will be on the plane tomorrow for NZ. I am feeling disappointed that his parents did not have the respect or thoughtfulness to ring earlier, so that dh could have spoken with his father.

As well as for me, I try to be supportive of his decision to still fly over there, and leave me still healing from the C-Section with a toddler and baby and no family support here for me. Apparently Great Spirit thinks I will handle it! I will. but am not impressed. I have emailed them many photos over the last two weeks with no response at all and I know they check their emails daily.

How are you today ?

glitterfairyonachristmastree · 13/12/2005 14:12

Oh Paps I am so sorry. It sounds very sad and angry making especially when you had tried so hard.

The sunflower man has sent you a gift. flower

I am sending you one too. lake

glitterfairyonachristmastree · 13/12/2005 14:13

If I could I would fly over and we could all Christmas together but need to shelter the little ones this year!

melsy · 13/12/2005 14:15

awww glitter the lake is just like were paps went on hols last year. I said the same ; if I could I would come and join paps .

I hope this post isnt invisible paps, would be shame not to get messages to you. Im all sad and angry for you too.

Our empath powers are strong hey glitter.

Papillon · 13/12/2005 16:39

Thanks All

So much to say but too knackered to type. DH has been fabulous and organised me home help to come every 2nd day and is at supermarket now buying up EVERYTHING. I know he feels so torn about going or staying. Had a good chat with his Mum today which helped me not feel so disorientated and out of focus. She sounds so lost. It was very sudden and not very pleasant... he has been fighting cancer for 2 years now.

I am having a cup of tea with cream and also cooking dinner... but so glad to have a moment to come and see the lake and accept the flower and love vibes from my sisters of the Yurt.

melsy · 13/12/2005 17:02

Good that dh is making a menz,I hope he is buying you all manner of deliciuos food treats. How great to have help in the house. Best idea yet eh paps , you'll get used to it!!! Will they just clean or are they a mothers help?? I soo understand your disorientation , dh went to HOng Kong for 2 weeks after dd was born, but this has been thrown at you with no warning.

I know its no subsitute really for dh's company , but you will have someone to chat to during the day & youll have to come in here for some nourishment too.

glitterfairyonachristmastree · 13/12/2005 21:39

Yes paps come in here for spiritual and mental refreshment. Dh sounds as though he is doing all he can and I expect he feels torn it must be hard for him as well. He wouldnt go if he didnt feel he really needed to.

My x left a week after my first was born and only came back at weekends for four years.

Back to the flowers I am now looking at luscious roses, sweet peas and honeysuckle and long tall lilies. The scent is wonderful and there are a myriad of butterflies gilding the walls of the yurt and fluttering gently in swaying patterns and circles dancing over our heads.

Papillon · 14/12/2005 14:32

He is doing all he can and he is torn. But he needs to say goodbye to his father and feel closure. He is a very loyal person who feels deeply. After the initial shock yesterday we spoke for some time, and dh will be away fro 8 days and not the inital 14 days. He is much happier with this, as am I. This means he will be home for Xmas

He spoke of still feeling regret for not being at his Grandmothers funeral and so I realise and understand the importance of being with his family at this time.

My mother was the same, she did not have a chance to say goodbye to her father when he died suddenly and it made the passing of her mother much more important to realise and actualise. It is like a ritual that needs to be done to heal and to have power in ones time of loss and grief.

I am really exhausted today - wonderful friends have taken dd this afternoon and I rest, rest, rest. I feel as though I am in the eye of swirling storm and am glad that I can, even if I temporairly lose it, have strength and peace.

This time is teaching me much and I have many insights about ds and the ways of life. This brings me much comfort and spiritual substance.

I go now to soak in the healing spas under the cliff. The fairies will massage my feet and neck, I will recharged, revitalised and calmed by the waters essence and by the love that surrounds me here in this space.

Thank you for thinking of me - this is a very special place and I am honoured to be a part of it, that is HAPPENS. Glitterfairy I know this is your field of expertise, death and dying and I feel your words of wisdom coming through to me.

Blessings xxx

glitterfairyonachristmastree · 14/12/2005 21:01

Saying goodbye is so important Paps. I am a great one for closure but have had to learn to apply it gently in my life as I can sometimes be too quick and then regret that I didnt leave a door open.

This time in my life has taught me not to rush closure but it has come without me doing very much at all.

Healing occurs in so many ways for so many people and there is so much sadness but also remembering the wonders is very important too. Laughing is also a healing process and I have never failed to be amazed at how much laughter there is around death and dying.

You have birth all around you and new life paps and that shows that life goes on relentlessly and with much wonder and joy as well as sadness. It is strange how these things happen together.

My sunflower man has been helping me decorate the trees in the woods today and we have placed fir boughs in the yurt as well as two growing trees intertwined and gently lit by twin rainbows. A sign of hope, new life and light coming from the dark.

Papillon · 15/12/2005 07:20

That was very beautiful and poignant (((Glitterfairy))) thankyou

Several people yesterday said how often it goes, one life arrives and begins and one leaves and is over.

I bring essential oil from the dolphin clinic to the Yurt, I will burn it amongst the fir bough, which look beautiful and are making me feel warm and festive again The oil is a Calming and Revitalising blend of Juniper, lemon and Ylang Ylang.

I feel very centred whilst these storms and changes of life exist around me. When I feel overwhelmed my calm, meditative centre gives my emotional self reassurance and hugs, massages and healing. It is good to know she is there for me. And an interesting new way I am discovering for visualisation and meditation. My inner self Yurt space

glitterfairyonachristmastree · 15/12/2005 16:20

Yes Paps this is a good space and is bringing peace to my outer life as well. My remedy arrived yesterday and is alredy benefitting me.

I have begun to gain so much fabulous learning from this experience. I feel as though I am starting to understand the real conections that exist everywhere and at every level for the first time ever. I also am realising that what we give we get back as so many people have been so wonderful to me.

Anyway back to the yurt and have had my nails painted a festive purple with silver glittery stars at the nail bar.

maybetwo · 15/12/2005 17:53

hello girls , I havent been in as have not been feeling to well today. I sit here and listen to the wise ones. Glitter, I am sensing a great sage in you.

Im glad you can find calm and healing paps,is it a guide you speak of in the female or your higher self?? You are probably fairing better than I would in the same situation. What a mark to the year end for you both.

I have struggled with words here this evening , so Im not saying all that I feel & think. I just want to show that Im here.

melsy · 15/12/2005 17:59

ahhh well my game is up , I could contact the team on high , but hey may be theres a reason why my suedonim has been disclosed in here , my stomachs churning and Im deciding what to do about it, if anything. I dont feel I want a deleted message in here , it just doesnt feel right.

Hey I havent done this for atleast a year , so it had to happen some time! .

gothicsanta · 15/12/2005 18:54

No 8 maids a milking will call later when I have spoken to my legal friend!

Have listened several times to the song to make sure by the way!

Papillon · 16/12/2005 16:12

6 maids for the milking
1 maid to hold the tail
1 maid to hold the head and for feeding herbal grass mixtures and carrots

= 8
