Illness

Hi Chiara, we often get too intense about ourselves and overthink it, get even more upset, and we seem to be going down the plughole. A little (or lot) of humour helps us to get our heads up and (to use a phrase I hate), smell the coffee.

Hi Sonia,
I understand totally your worries about illness.
Both me and my partner Isobel had health issues, and we supported each other.
Now she’s gone I don’t feel I have anyone to confide in.
I do have a lovely family, but they have very busy lives working full time and bringing up their kids.
The last thing I want to do is burden them with my fears.
It’s been almost 6 months since Isobel passed unexpectedly, and most concerned parties have assumed enough time has gone by for me to be coping better.
I must say, I’ve not told them any different so how would they know ?
How many of us I wonder, put on a brave face to others and fall apart when alone ?
It’s true, I feel like I’ve lost the other half of me and I worry how I’ll ever feel whole again.
I really hope you are feeling better today because illness on top of grief is so very hard to cope with.
Sending a hug and love your way. Try and take care of you xx

So pleased your negative, I’ve just tested this morning and I’m negative too after ten days.
Safe journey home Shirley, coming home is going to be strange and hard for a few days. I’ve found that when I’ve been away with the family.
Take care X X

Got home abt 6.30pm throat really dry as I chose to wear a mask for the majority of the journey. Took a while to settle. But strictly and a long video chat with a friend helped. Take it easy for the next day or so Debbie no rushing back to work Take care xx
