Hello Ladies.I wake up every morning with the most awful headache.I gave up on doctors because I had a telephone appointment and got mixed up with the time.I thought he was late ringing.I rang to ask if they had forgotten only to be tore a strip off by the receptionist and her telling me to be patient.I know I was wrong and got wrong time but it really upset me because I am super sensitive at the moment.It should be her made to feel bad not me she doesn’t know what’s going on in people’s life.So suffer in silence.Big hugs.

Teddy - what is the mark on your face like? Have u got any pain in your face. I Had cold sores and a mark on my face that spread over a couple of days. I had shingles keep an eye on any more Mark’s on face xxxx.
Oh , not to sure if I’m being honest , I will have a proper look at it tomorrow I have just been putting sudo cream on it . Never really get cold sores . Feel a little bit better tonight I’d imagine antibiotics are helping . I told you I ordered tgst book Jenna . Looking forward to reading it . Xxxxxxx
Morning - I think you were talking the other day about Megan Devine. For info she has lots of informative little videos on YouTube. There’s also someone called Catherine McNulty who is a grief specialist and she also offers quite a lot of info about coping with grief. Best wishes and hope your day is at least bearable.
Morning Nell and ladies , thanks for tip . I will have a look at her videos . Big hugs to all xxxxx
I have been watching and listening to Marion Devine , found it comforting xxxx thanks again
Hi ladies , hope all had a alright day xxxxx
Hello all, Teddy hope the antibiotics have kicked in. Yesterday and today I have had the most acute longing for jonnie it’s as if I suddenly realised he had gone and the pain has been horrible. I fear the intensity of it all. I feel as if the reality of the loss of both my boys is hitting me again but in a more fierce way. I dont know whether the shock and numbness has finally lifted and I am confronted with the cold light of day and the pain is leaving me breathless. Sorry a bit of a downer post but hoping it might help to write it down j
Dear Jenna
Honestly you’re being so brave…losing two children and so close together…no time to process anything. It’s amazing you can string two words together.
I do think reality kicks in but it goes away again m…almost as though we can only cope with so much pain.
Please do try meditation. I use the Headspace app…just listening to the coach and breathing takes those awful panics away. When it was recommended to me I was so sceptical but desperation got the better of me….I’m so grateful to have it as a safety net.
I’m sending you love and a warm hug.
Keep posting and know we are here for you.

Hello Jenna sometimes we put our grief in a little pocket only for it to escape and hit you with such intensity.I would recommend as purple said meditation I am new to it.But when I am feeling anxious and get feelings of longing I find it helps. Hope things improve.Xxx
Hi Jenna sorry your having such an awful day , think what the other Ladies suggested may help and give you some relief from your pain xxxxx big hugs to all xxxx
Hi Jenna - you have had two losses to try and come to live with. It’s sounding like it’s excruciating and there probably isn’t even a word for what you are feeling. That you are actually managing to carry on as best you can, is in itself an achievement. I send you respect and admiration. It won’t make you feel any better today but it’s still true. I hope today has at least the odd glimmer for you. I hope you get some rest too. Sending all best thoughts. X
