Dear Keith

I do hope you will have kicked off the worst of this chest infection by Christmas.

It's no wonder everyone is catching things – I'm getting a real down on folk who just sneeze and cough all over the place and never use a hankerchief.

All best wishes.

Mavis

Dear Mavis and Dai

Thanks for your replies. It is reassuring reading your experience of this type of pain. It gives me hope. Frank still has the pain but he said it is a lot easier than Wednesday. It really scared me – I have never seen him in so much pain – and such a terrible colour. Dai as you say – sitting the wrong way. Frank has been…[Read more]

Hi everyone

More love to you all who are struggling so bravely.

Thank you Min for that lovely explanation of grief. I will certainly share it with others. My neighbour was only asking me the other week why she didn't feel better, but worse, having lost her husband 18 months ago.

It certainly takes more time than most people who haven't…[Read more]
