thx guys. sadly this is not my first discovery. am ok. took some valium last night, spoke with sis and skyped my partner. she was a mess as both my mate and her were close, even though they were in 2 different countries. my mate is a good lady, always cared for everyone else first. am still raw and numb. thx for your love & support. us.

cheers guys.

cheers my dear friends. am feeling displaced and down, but that is expected. this has triggered old memories of discovering loved ones. i am..........well, sort of okay, just rocked. thx for your care and compassion.

SO SAD to hear this TURTLE!!

LET PEACE BE UPON you and your family!!

take care !

been advised by her son that the funeral is next tuesday. i know that irene would not mind if i did not attend, her son said he would not think of me any less albeit i do want to pay my respects. i know you don't need to be there to do it but i am feeling obliged. so many people, my anxiety. i do not have transport, his niece has offered to take me. i am not a hanger around type. i grieve in my own way. i am trying to muster up the courage to go. i said to her son that i do want to attend, it is just that i am not good at services. i'll play it by ear. that's all i can do. cheers.

thank you my friend.

thank you guys. been around the local area filling her key friends letterboxes (if they weren't home), the ones i know of with her funeral particulars. she deserves a good send off. she really gave everything of herself. she loved you without judgement, always came over with a scrummy feed. boy she can cook!!! the tea-towel over the shoulder is one of my main memories. bless ya heart irene. i'm getting emotional. i think i will attend. my sis may come, that way i can leave quietly if need be. my love to you all.

That is so sad...and such a shame on those two!

I know that stress and grief can cause emotions to run high...but really, like you said...come together for your mom's sake!!

I do hope that the services go well with no drama on either of their parts.

I am keeping you in my thoughts as you attend. May you feel well and be able to pay your respects to your dear friend.

Be well my friend,

S.C.
