SOOP's kindly Kitcheners.

Bella, my thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time. When my time comes I cannot think of anything better than being in my own home with my loved ones by my side. I'm sure you will support each other and eventually look back at all the good times together.

Love Pompa.

there can be no better way to go than in the arms of the person you love most in the world.
Brave lady

Bella , love and hugs.....

Dear Bellasnanna. There are no adequate words to say to you in your and your families grief. Remember the wonderful man he was, husband, father friend. Love and hugs to you.

Bella

Bellasnanna, heartfelt condolencies to you and your family.
make time for your grieving, don't try and be superhuman 'mum and nan' like I did.
let your feelings out and hold on to those precious memories.
yesterday, 2 years and 1 month on I packed my beloved clothes up out of the wardrobe, all to go in the loft so they are still near me.....what I am trying to say, in a clumsy way is there is no right or wrong way to grieve, everyone is different. Be kind to yourself. [Flowers] xxxx

bella, thank you for letting us know. All best wishes over the next days and weeks for you and your family x

Again, heartfelt thanks to you all for your words of support which have made a world of difference to what has been a very difficult year or so.

My beloved husband of 34 years, my friend and soulmate, passed away peacefully at around 2am, in our bed with myself beside him cuddling him.
His suffering is over and ours is just beginning, but I am grateful for the life we had and for our four beloved children who are being so brave and supportive.

My heart is heavy right now but I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all of you. Thank you so much

Hi everyone. I haven't posted on here for ages, but I do read the thread and my thoughts stay with those having to face such sadness. I partly haven't been commenting because my "heart is too full" - we've got stuff going on in our family, I have a nephew who is desperately ill with a vicious cancer, far away in a different country.

Bella I marvel at human beings - hours from death, my mother insisted on getting out of bed when she was so frail it was like walking alongside candyfloss - to brush her teeth.

Flowers to all.

Happy shooting today, I hope, galen

May the Lord grant us a peaceful and tranquil night.

Thanks to all of you for your support.
You have no idea how much it means!

What an awful lot of stress and sadness so many on here have been suffering lately. (((hugs))) to all.
There is nothing much else I can think of to add to what others have said.

I hope you all have a peaceful night.

You have certainly put my current angst into perspective.

to you Galen, anniversaries are especially hard xx

Galen a sad day for you.

Pleased to hear Lucy's meds have been reviewed and she is feeling better. What a terrible experience for her and you.

Hope you have recovered enough to make archery tomorrow.

Lindylooby. A very moving post. (((Hugs))) and

Yes charleygirl, I know he doesn't have time, I just thought it might give him some sense of purpose.

Lona so sorry you have even more to cope with, worrying for your DS and your DGC. All we ever want for our children is that they are happy, it hurts when they are sad. ((Huggs))

Bella I hope peace comes soon now for you and your DH. Glad your DD has arrived. Thinking of you all

So much sorrow, so much angst, I have my share ,so a good and peaceful night for all and a good and peaceful end to Bella's husband.It is all we can hope for,for us all.

I've pm'd Bella
Today is the twelfth anniversary of the death of my DH, so I'm a bit down.
On the good side though they've stopped the drugs that were causing Lucy's suicidal thoughts and she's feeling a bit better! ( Lucy is my transgender son)
Hope I can get to archery tomorrow, I haven't been able to go for the last few weeks due to breathlessness following a chest infection and a flare up of my arthritis. I'm still breathless on effort and having great difficulty mobilising, but, I've got to try.

AlieOxon - I have often thought of you too in your recent very tough weeks. Nonna x

Just popped in for a catch up.

Lona, it never flipping rains but it pours does it! (((hugs)))

And, (((hugs))) to Bella, alie, charley and everyone else who needs one, for whatever reason.

Bellasnana you are still waiting.....I am thinking of you too.

We will both get through this time somehow

to all who have troubles
