Maddie that happened to me too with our Mum. My sister lived nearby the hospital I was nearly 2 hours away. We had both stayed all night but I left at 9 in the morning as our young toddlers were fretting. I got out the car when I got home and Alan said ’ I am so sorry darling your sister just phoned. ’ I remember scooping the girls into my arms and trying so hard not to cry… after a wee while Alan took them to his Mother’s so I could sleep.
I then didn’t really have time to grieve as they were so young and I needed to be a Mum full on. Consequently it was many years before I really got over it.
With love, Kate xx

Hello Kate, Victoria and Maddie,
Kate you are so right, we can never plan life, it is just how things turn out. Yesterday it was 6 years since Ben my nephew passed away he was 30. He hit his head on the football club wall whilst playing football for Stoke Gifford a local club. Again something that was not thought about who would have believed that he could walk out the front door off to play football and the next thing end up in hospital, he died the following day. Then, a year later I lost Sam…then 18 months to the day I lost Roy my stepdad. I stayed all night in the hospital with him he was in a coma, but I so clearly heard…I’ll look after him now mum. I knew Sam was there…I just wonder how much more s*** can life throw at me. Sorry for the downbeat tone and the language!!
love Helen

Maddie
thank you

Dear Helen, Maddie, Lisa and all,
Maddie I have been been thinking of you and your mum today and have lit a candle for her.
I have been helping my friend move house over the last ten days. Although she is 80 years old and has 3 children in the UK, none of them have helped with her move and they are all very wealthy. I find it so shocking.
I’m shattered but just glad we have done it and hopefully she will soon settle.
At least it has kept me busy! xxx
Thankyou Victoria, Glad you have finished helping your friend ,perhaps you can have a rest over. Easter,although I exspect the grandchildren we’ll keep you busy .We did say hello to a member of the club today , his wife is buried a few yards from Dawn so he said he would be there so we just went there to introduce ourselves .Weather was good so managed to go for a little ride in the MG .just tried to keep busy . Love to everyone and hope you all have a peaceful Easter xxx
Dear Maddie, I think you and your Daughter are wonderful starting your group I’m sure it will be a success. You have potential to bring together people (if they want to and are ready) we all know how difficult it can be reaching out. Even if you helped one person and gave them a little relief and understanding. Well done!
Easter is another significant time for me. Jo was born on Maundy Thursday (that year it was 8th) and I was in hospital over Easter. It will be her birthday next week. It often fell on Easter weekend.
I wish you all a peaceful time x

Sorry just realised I spelled your name wrong xx
Dear All, Maddie you are right. I think Easter can be a difficult time for us. I have always loved Easter and so did Gemma and I was always a lively family time.
I am having Tiffany, Ethan, Coren and Evelyn round tomorrow. I thought we could light the fire pit, have lunch and toast marshmallows (hope it doesn’t rain!)
Have a peaceful Easter weekend everyone

I hope you have all had a nice Easter. We went for a walk in the Wychwood forest near to where we live today. I felt so calm and peaceful I didn’t want to leave and I took a photo. I posted the photo on Facebook and my sister in law messaged me to say she thinks there is an orb in the photo? So strange. Much love xxx
