Oh I see. I’d rather be in work than stuck at home doing nothing. I’m 58 now so if I was out of work I’d be unemployable
So would I if I was able you are a year younger than me , Its awful been unable to work. I do go out but only in my own area. Hugs Jo xxx
I know what you mean. I only went for this job because the money is exceptionally well paid I couldn’t really do anything else now.
I only go out on my own if I have to but one of my work colleagues I’m good friends with we meet up now and then. I don’t really have much of a life these days
Bless you Steve I am pleased you have at least one good friend to go out with.
Its hard been alone everything seems pointless. Butvwe have to keep trying as we have a life we need to live, as hard as that is at the moment.
I know my husband wouldnt want me to give up . He fought so hard for life. Hugs Jo xx
No my mum wouldn’t want me to give up on life. I want to give up I really do. It just doesn’t seem there is any point in carrying on but I have my mums strength in me. What I wouldn’t give right now for a phone call from her. My feet wouldn’t touch the ground I’d rather go and see my mum than be In work. I’d walk out In a flash.
God 8 years has flown for me. It still feels like it happened yesterday none of it feels real

Bless you I lost my mum it will be 7 years next march and like yourself I miss her everyday, she would have been here in a flash when I lost Gra,
Do you have any other family, I have one sister 2 brothers but I hardly see them.
I have a daughter I do see but I hardly see or hear from my son.
I have 3 beautiful grandaughters, but I only see one regularly my daughters daughter. She is three not four till next April. I look after her on a Thursday while her mum works. Hugs jo xxx
I’ve got my dad who I live with my younger brother who I hardly see and my estranged daughter who I can’t stand.
I am pleased you have someone, we all need someone in a time like this , life is so hard and lonely. My grandaughter is my saving grace . Xxx
I feel lonely even with my dad in my life. I just know my life will never be the same especially after losing my mum and when my dad goes. I’ll have no one
Have you always lived at home? Of course it will be difficult when you lose your dad how can it not be. But you have already proven you can and do this,hard yes horrible its that and a all lot more. But we have no choice none of us do. Would I want to live alone course I wouldn’t am I lonely more than words could say. Do I wish I could go back in time without a doubt, but we dont have those choices. Life is awful and hard but some how we get up each day and some how surrive. And you will do too. Hugs Jo xxx
No I had my own place so after I lost my mum I decided to support him by moving in.
Well I’ll do my best that’s all I can do
That’s so true. I’ve already my choice and I choose to carry on because I know my mum will be looking down on me. I can feel it. I know exactly where she is I’ve had this feeling for a very long time. Do you know the one thing I truly believe is that love can’t keep us apart from our loved ones. It’s not designed to keep us apart. Love and grief are one of the same. We grief because we love those we’ve lost it hurts like hell like you won’t believe
All we can ever do is our best,no one can ask more than that from anyone. I bet your Dad is pleased you are there for him.
I agree love never dies its an energy that surrounds us guides us.
Your Mum would be proud of you.
Hugs jo xxc
Hey it’s me that’s proud of my mum. She did what many people could when she was so very poorly. She not only gave up the booze and fags at same time and to me that takes guts. She knew she was dying. I had no idea I would have wanted to know. I made her proud of keeping this job I wanted to proof my parents and everyone wrong. It took some doing I lost so much weight before I knew it over 9 stone. I never noticed until 6 months later I looked in the mirror I was over 20 stone. My mum always used to worry about my weight but if she was here now she’d be over the moon.
Wow she sounds like a very strong lady, no wonder you are proud of her. My husband was one of the strongest men I have ever known he fought sephis twice after been put on end of live, he was scared of dying but not for himself but for me.
I would say well done for losing so much weight but like I say itsvthe most awful way to do it , I know by myself. Hugs Jo xxx
Your husband must of been a very strong man. I’ll bet you were proud of him.
Well to do this job I had to lose some weight it would have been to much to walk the miles I do each other. Put it this way I do about 15 to 20 miles a day
