Hi Min and Sarah the woman who described grieving so well must be an amazing person to be able to put it so well Although I havent lost a partner through death about six years ago Jeff had a mid-life crisis and left for a floozy with false everything and a sports car I can honestly say my heart broke and I was grieving for my life as it had…[Read more]

Hi Jean I know exactly what you mean when you say Frank would go ballistic if he thought you were dicussing him because Jeff is just the same!! There have been a few occasions when I have spoken to a friend who then innocently repeated something very trivial boy was I in the doghouse ! Still thats the way they are and we love them anyway I hope…[Read more]

Dear Tom and Min

Thank you both for your replies

Tom thanks but I can't show Frank your reply – this hubby of mi e is a one off – he is such a private person – he doesn't discuss his illness with anyone. He's always FINE. when anyone asks him. Not even his sons and as far as I'm concerned it's like trying to get blood out of a stone getting…[Read more]

I think that person explained it so well,some one once told me never refuse an invite or opportunity,keep opening the doors in front of you,your past will always follow you through the door.
I have a friend who,s husband is planning his funeral,I have known him for 30 years,he knows he has not got a lot of time,and I have found out,so much in one…[Read more]

Hi Gill

Dear Jo and Bridget

Thanks for your replies. Frank is in bed and that is not like him. We were supposed to go out tonight for our sons birthday but that was cancelled. The boys are coming here but Frank has told me that he is not getting out of bed he feels so bad. I think this bloody disease has reared it's ugly head!! Thanks again it is such…[Read more]

Hi Jean when will Frank realise he is not sparing you the worry by keeping things from you At least he did phone the hospital though It sounds as if it could be his ribs so getting checked out is very wise One thing I have learnt in the last 5 years is mever to ignore significant pain always tell someone. I hope itt is nothing too serious and he…[Read more]

I want to send special greetings to all of you who have lost loved ones to the dreaded MM this year. It will be very sad, especially on Christmas day, but I am sure i won't be the only one sending up a prayer for all my cyber friends in this sad situatiion.

I agree Glyn! When I read the first article Min directed us too I wasn't too impressed to read the stark survival expectations.

Let's all prove them wrong, and, David, who knows what is round the corner.

Thank you Ellen for looking out for us.

Love and long remissions to all my cyber friends on site.

Hi Eve

Envy Slim his tan even if drug induced. I am looking decidedly pastey!!

Hope his tooth isn't too painful and that you get it sorted out soon. Just when you thought you could have a break from the medics!!

Lots of love to you both.
