Just a quick request before I bog off to work...
Merry Christmas everyone, I hope it is the kind of christmas you want.
Is there any chance of posting a few phone numbers for support lines such as the Samaritans, AA, GA etc etc just so that those people that may need them. I know it's not hard to find these numbers etc if you need them, but those that may need them may not be able to do this due to anxities/ stresses.
I'll start:
Samaritans: 08457 90 90 90 or jo@samaritans.org
AA - http://www.alcoholics-anonymous.org
National Centre for Domestic Violence - http://www.ncdv.org.uk/ 0r 08709 220704
Gamblers Anonymous - 020 7384 3040
NHS direct 0845 46 47
Feel free to add any other numbers or contact details and I hope it helps someone somewhere
Big love to all

Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

Wonderful, what a great post.Blind as you run...aware you were staring at the sun.
And when no hope was left inside on that starry starry night.

Thank you for these CG...............unfortunately I may need them tonight when the children are in bed. VERY VERY sadly my hubby passed away VERY suddenly 2 days ago (if anyone has read my threads, my father did too in June) and I don't know what to do........it's comforting to know there are people on here who I could turn to if I need to vent later..............think I'm still in shock to be honest, what the hell am I doing on here..........because I can't sit downstairs looking at Christmas cards to me and hubby mixed in with the sympathy ones.............:j Stormybay0

Stormybay ...I'm so sorry to hear of your very sad loss...and send my heartfelt sympathies to you at this awful time for you and your family...have you got anyone around to support you?...if you want to pm me you can!!...how old are the children?...again I'm so sorry0

TY taxi, I'm with our children who are 21, 19, 18, 16 and 11 and they are being wonderful..................I think I am numb, they all cry and I can't, don't know what's wrong with me:j Stormybay0

Excellent thread and just want to add that my thoughts are with Stormybay, you poor darling, I hope you find the strength to get through tomorow, for the sake of your children, I cant begin to imagine how hard this must be for you - hugs xxxx0

So sorry Stormybay. {Hugs}
Some things are too big to cry about especially at first - people don't always react as you'd imagine.
Please, just take each moment as it comes. You will get through. If it helps just to stuff the cards in a drawer and ask someone else to sort them later - then do that. Do what it takes to make it through.
If you need to talk you can pm me - I know we don't know each other but sometimes that's easier. I'm a mum with teenagers too.
Will be thinking of you.
{hugs} again.Miggy
