Hi mrs cmr, very unsudden not expected so it was a huge shock we managed to spend half hour with her and then we were kicked out they didnt speak any english so very hard to ask questions or get a fuller understanding but i guess the lord moves in mysterious ways x

So sorry to hear about your loss, it's very difficult to understand what's going on when another language is involved. Hopefully things may become clearer later. Thankfully you had some time with her. It's a terrible shock when it's so unexpected as you've had no time to emotionally prepare yourself, not that that makes it much easier. Time will help.
Take care

Evening, Tuesday night we ha a phonecall from Spain where oh mum lives she had been rushed to hospital with a problem and then we were told less than 24 hours to live so we ha to get out there asap she passed 4 hours after we arrived so it's been not so great x

really sorry to hear of this. i hope things are going as well as they can be under the circumstances.

mrscmr - the thing is do you really want to just squeak by? The point of the DMP is to give you breathing space, and relief from stress. Wouldn't that make it worth it?

But well done to the ebay meltdowns, i hope that is positive!

Just remember Christmas is not about gifts and money, it's about traditions, memories and most of all love.
I've had some very money poor christmasses, one year I got a bar of chocolate from the OH, he said he couldn't bear for me to have nothing at all to open (big softie). It made me cry, I still have the gift card, it meant more to me than any of the more expensive presents he has bought since.
Keep on keeping on.
