Oh no Ann that must be painful for you. It would make me sad also because you can probably hear the pain in his voice and feel his loneliness. I feel for him and hope everything turns out ok for him and you. Itās so hard to see someone else suffering itās heartbreaking. Much love to you and your son-in-law
What a beautiful photo!

I sometimes think of the friends who have not posted for a while. Hopefully some are coping well, others just pop in briefly but donāt come back. But there are others who used to post quite frequently, just a few names among several I can think of: Pete (Bluebird), Teddy (and Daniel), Kath (and her Louise), and someone whose name I canāt recall who lost 2 sons, Adrian and Jonathon.
Hope you are finding your way.
Love to you all. Ann
Thank you my friends for your kind comments, it means a lot to me our daughters are the only thing that keeps me going, they are both 22 this is how old Matt was when he passed three years ago, he was almost 23, it still only feels like yesterday , they were both in their first year at Uni its been such a hard journey for them coping with this also the impact Covid had on there time at Uni, so this is why I carry on each day, sometimes I do feel I canāt go on but how could I ever leave them and my hubbie of course who is my best friend , I say to those who have recently lost their precious children please believe you will make it, when you have days when you feel like giving up just be kind to yourself donāt set too many targets, take each day as it comes and if you want to lie in bed all day or not get dressed thatās fine, as Iām 3 years on this journey and today Iām writing this in my nightie lying on my bed as this us how I feel, I will have a better day tomorrow I know
Sending much love and strength to all my friends, from Michelle
Hi Anne - I think you might mean Jenna, she tragically lost two boys. Iāve been thinking about her too, and others we havenāt seen for a while. Be good to hear from them. If any of them see this I send my love and we are thinking of them xxx
I work in a school and today is the first day of the summer holidays and the plan was to spend time with my son. Instead I have spent today at a funeral place arranging his funeral. Life can be so bitterly cruel. The messages that people post on here give me some hope that I will learn to live in a ānew normalā . Hope everyone is managing. Take care all xxx
Hi Nell, yes Jenna. I felt bad not remembering her name, though I remember some of her story. Hope she is coping, it was, literally, doubly hard for her. Ann
Susan Iām sorry you had to go through that today. I find the summer months hard because it reminds me of all the things that Theo and I did in the summer.
I am trying to adapt to the new normal Iām not there yet but Iām moving forward little by little and I am sure that you will too. Sending hugs.
