Jen,

If you want someone to talk to, give me a call: 0412 532 963. I'll be up to around midnight.

I'm exactly like your kids sometimes, in that I don't call or e-mail my parents that often when I'm not staying with them. It's not a failing on your part at all.

Hopefully, things will return to normal soon. It took me about six months and a change of job for me to get over my Uncle's death in 1998. Things always get better.

Chin up Jen, I have seen lots of sadness which I won't go into cause it's just plain depressing but this is FAR outweighed by all the good stuff :) My two girls are only tiny tots but we will do our best to bring them up with happiness and love. Anyway to cut a long story short you know you have HEAPS of friends here to talk to if need be. If not through the forum or chat room drop us an email or call :)

Hey thanks.

Was a bit desperate last night couldn't get onto grief line and had lost the plot for a while. Cried myself to sleep.

Arrived home yesterday and had to return calls from family checking that Brides was OK. Had a long talk to her.

Guess you wonder when it's all going to stop.

Son travelling solo in dangerous parts of the world and uncontactable, get a bit toey at times if I haven't heard for a while

Can't wrap people up in cotton wool. We have to keep living

Keep the faith Jen, the human spirit is alive and well despite the craziness happening all around at the moment.
Like the other guys have said you have freinds here ready to lend support :)

Yes and just think this weekend we all can get together at the VW Cruises weekend affair and have a great time around our friends.:thumb

Jen, I was a bit lost as to what to say, but you know you can always call whenever you want. In any event, I'll see you at the weekend affair, Heather's coming too. :)

Hey thanks

Things just hit me so bad yesterday. You feel so unsafe for a long time when you loose someone suddenly. I was really starting to cope but then all the grief of Bali is bringing it all back and then yesterday just sent me over to top it was so close to home. Bridie has lectures and tutorials on that floor but not in the building at that time

Fighting tears back all day but starting to come out the other side again and on top.

I don't think I'm the only one going through this, it's probably why I couldn't get through to Grief Line.

Hey looking forward to the weekend :)

Col it's great you and Heather are coming

Catch you then

Jen
