Dear Anne,
Sorry that you had a bad day on Sunday but glad you had the support from your colleagues , I know how you feel as one of Mattā€™s army friends recently got married and when I saw the pictures he was in his Red uniform and I felt so sad that Matt and his girlfriend never had the chance to do this :disappointed: itā€™s heartbreaking isnā€™t it, we see Mattā€™s girlfriend Livvy regularly she is still struggling as he was her first true love :heart: they had talked about getting married and how many dogs they would have, bless them :broken_heart: yesterday she went to visit Mattā€™s sisters in Nottingham as they are all in the final year at Uni, I said to my daughters Matt would be so happy that they were all together, they were having a picnic in the park and a feather landed on my daughters hand actually on it, we all said it was Matt saying he was with them :pray: take care and remember we carry our precious children in our hearts always and they will never leave us :heart:
Big love to all, stay safe Michelle xxxx

Dear Michelle
Thank you for that, it must have been so hard to see Mattā€™s friend marry in his uniform. It must be terrible too for his girlfriend.
All the hopes we had for their futures. I really wasnā€™t bothered about grandchildren as I had raised the boys on my own and was just beginning to be able to have a wee bit of freedom.
Now all I keep thinking about the grandchildren I wonā€™t have.
Scott was on a first date the night we lost him but I think he was in love already, he told her all about me and said I would love her.
He was right, she was perfect for him. Now all she has is the memories of that night and seeing him go, breaks my heart.
How wonderful about the feather, Matt truly was still with you all.
Sending hugs to everyone

Dear Anne,
Scott sounds just like Matt as on his first date with Livvy he told her he was going to marry her one day :heart: its so hard my friend, :sleepy: we will help each other and keep fighting on for our other children but will have to learn to live this new different life now with the help and guidance of each other, especially those that are further along this horrendous journey as they give us a glimmer of hope that we can still have brighter days ahead , always here if you need a chat .
Love Michelle xxxx

Hi Marina,

If only we could go to the doctors for a chat on how we feel. I lost my daughter Easter Monday 2020.
Because of lockdown I have not had the luxury of seeing a doctor face to face.
This lockdown has been the worst for people bereaved.

And to Deborah I am so sorry for your loss. I wish if we lived near each other we could form a wee support group even just to get out and have a chat.

Blessings to you All
Jane. X

Dear Jane, I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. I think it does help to meet up with other parents in our situation. I am a little further along the journey than you as I lost my daughter 3 years and 3 months ago and if it is any comfort I do get more ā€˜goodā€™ days now, although the sadness never completely leaves us. Take care xxx

You all look very glamorous and good friends are priceless :sparkling_heart:

Oh well it looks like Sarah has washed her hands of us completely . I thought we were starting to get a better as I decided not to text her anymore , when I had a couple of text from her asking how her dads birthday went . Then a couple of nights later , she put on Facebook to horrible sayings that I know was meant for me , saying people that cause you main and disrupt your life , ignore them . I feel so sad now , as I feel I have lost two daughters now . I donā€™t think we will ever be able to repair it. With love Maddie xx

Thankyou Kate , I hope you are enjoying your weekend with Jemma and Brooke . We are meeting a few neighbours in our close and sitting outside to have a few drinks . Got to do something , as I will just sit and dwell , and getting more depressed over Sarah . Love Maddie xxx

Oh Maddie Iā€™m sorry. Maybe Sarah is in a dark place and taking it out on you. I think this happens because she knows that no matter how badly she behaves, you are the one person who will always be there for her because she knows deep down that you will never turn your back in her.
It is so hard for you on top of losing Dawn. Sending you a big hug xxx
