Scribbles I didn't know about your DH's accident and I'm very sorry to hear about it now. I wish you both the very, very best and hope that the mire you're trying to sort out becomes easier. Please don't stay away; come here and unload on us and share your burden. We can't do much but we will always lend a listening ear and a shoulder to lean on. flowers

Thinking of you Scribbles and the hell you are living through.
To be left alone is bad enough, but the circumstances of your bereavement almost unimaginable.

We will be here whenever you need a shoulder or an ear.

Just that, really, to all who have expressed their care and support over recent weeks since OH's accident.

I haven't said much because I've been up to my neck in untangling a bureaucratic nightmare of ever increasing complexity. Every day is one step forward and two steps back. I won't even start to describe it all; it will only make me cry again. I do wonder though why the worst things seem to happen when we're feeling least equipped to deal with them.

One day, I hope to have it all sorted, to have found an equilibrium in the "new normal" that awaits, somewhere in the future.

However sh*tty things are, it is a great comfort to know I have good friends and supporters out there even though I've never met most of you. I'd love to hug you all, especially those who I know have huge problems of their own. So, thanks, everyone.

One day, I hope to be back on the silly games threads and going to meet ups again but, just for now, I beg to be excused.
