  • Hugs to all having a bad time. I am stressed as hell. My flatmate turned out to be bipolar. Now obviously I have sympathy for people with MH problems, but when she starts accusing me of theft and then a few days later tells me I have to leave the same night. She was way out of control, really hostile, it was scary.

    Now I am staying at a friend's flat, and have to look for something else. I really want to share a flat with my best friend, I know I would be ok with him as I am tired of strangers, problem is neither of us have enough for the deposit.

    MIL passed away yesterday evening, had lunch today with my wife and 2 x BIL and there have been no tears, they were not close to their mother and I'm finding this very hard to handle. More worried about my wife who has said very little since the news and not cried at all, she has always been one to bottle things up. I'm such worrried she going to keep things in until she explodes. I've only experience death once when my dad passed and i rememeber I was in floods of tears, is this normal how my in laws are acting.
    thanks for reading this. Sssssss

    Sorry to hear about the passing of your MIL .I would not worry about your inlaws not everyone shows grief by tears they will be grieving in their own way even though as you say they were not close to their mother.As to your wife all you can do is be their for her if she "explodes" she may not,as i said people grieve in differant ways and maybe because the death was expected they have all ready done their grieving.When i seperated from my husband i cried buckets but when he passed away a few years later i did not shed a tear as i had already lost him if you know what i mean.

    I am all grazed and bruised. =/
    Katie knows why. I was walking back from the shop earlier,had a dizzy spell and lost my footing on the kerb and preceded to fall into a puddle in the middle of the road, which was full of oncoming cars. Luckily the car managed to break in time, but not one person stopped to help me or ask if I were okay, even though there were quite a few people about. Nice that! Now I can't move my elbow properly or my knees and they're all bruised. =/

    And just as I fell, Sam text me. Great timing! XD

    I'm moving either this weekend or in a couple of weeks time, depending on dates and getting stuff sorted out.
    I hate it around here.

  • Hi Everyone! Welcome to all newbies

    Just wanted to send big hugs to Tiff and Ssssss its a hard time for you at the moment. I know how it feels to lose a loved one, I think you are very special people thinking of others as this time, remember to take care of yourselves too.

    I am taking things slowly at the moment and I am exhausted so will have to log off.

    I wish I had more time to reply to everyone here (please don't think I am ignoring anyone I would never intentionally do that), please take care of yourselves. I still think about Miro and I often wonder if he is ok.

    I found a thread earlier today in the Arms called something like daft accidents, it made me laugh for the first time in ages (I have a warped sense of humour) I posted a couple of my mishaps for others to enjoy to!

    Catch you all soon

    thanks, I had always associated tears with death but as you say people react differently, I feel better knowing what I know now thanks to the various posts on here.

    Many people react differently. Sometimes beliefs come in to play especially with religious people. They may believe the deceased person is now in a better place so be happy for them. Death is natural it is the fear of the unknown that makes us worry.
