Telling our sad stories

jeni your DGD does look like a little angel

Mind you, she herself was the opposite

On a lighter note, IMHO, my dd gave birth to a perfect angel!

angiebaby - no-one's given birth to perfect angels. You're really upset about what's been happening with the house you've bought for your daughter, and things have escalated. It's not irretrievable though. You can talk it out with her, and if that doesn't work - well, it's not the end of the world.

That's meant to read money..

angie how about a nice spa day or spending some,obey to cheer yourself up....as you like to recommend to othersxxxxx

oh dear forgot all about it to be honest,,,,ok into the dog house again,,,,sorry sighn of getting old

oh dear dear....whats up now,,,i like to chat about my upset that doesnt mean that i want sympathy,,,its just its just nice to hear other peoples veiws,,,is this a help and cheer you up gransnet,,,it helps you a lot to read that other people have maybe the same problem as you, and you are not alone, if some people have never had depression over their problems or have neverfelt like suiside...they are very lucky,,,,,stay cool everyone,,,,,,when my problems change into little ones i will be able to chat about something good in my life.......my kids are driving me mad at the moment,,,,but maybe you have all given birth to perfect angels.....!!!!!!

Let's not and say we did...[resurrect it]. So, best foot forward...onwards and upwards and all that jazz.

Birthday almost over for another year. Went better than expected. Thank you, the hugs, flowers and messages all helped. Time to move on.

Nanadogsbody We're here for each other. Everyone has a story to tell, some darker and sadder than others can begin to imagine. Thanks to this forum and the wonderful support it's members offer, we are free to express our locked-in emotions [should we wish] and feel a whole lot better for doing so. I'm sending you kind thoughts and a very warm virtual (hug)

That's a lovely way of putting it when I've had that from all the lovely people above. Hugs to you all. (((xxx))))

nanadogsbody those comments are lovely and you philosophise about tragic circumstances in a way that can only come from experience. A few of us have taken the risk and shared stories of distress and loss, and found ourselves wrapped in warm compassion from Gransnetters.

Thank you Nellie - no doubt it will all work out in the end....and if it hasn't worked out, it isn't the end!

That's ok marelli I kept thinking it was someone else with the same initial as your previous name ,but it clicked with your recent post re your granddaughter...hope something can be sorted for your familyxxxxx

Battered and bruised emotionally. Monday night left me physically drained, having poured out how I felt on GN. It was hard. Our generation was hard programmed not to show emotions and like many of you I've had to learn to hug and be hugged. But talking about how I feel.....remember 'laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone'? So pouring your heart out to others for the first time actually left me exhausted and with a momunental headache. But it was worth it. I feel like a burden has been lifted, the burden that was laid on me to 'be strong'. To me that's always meant I had to go it alone.

I have read all your posts, and I have felt the pain of those who have also lost little ones. And those who are estranged from children and grandchildren through no fault of their own. And the fear of those who realise life is so fragile. And the kindness of those who have offered sympathy and hugs. So many different people and so many different emotions. Thank you doesn't sound enough. but it is heartfelt. I cried, but not alone this time. Xxx
