I am so so sorry to read that wordsmith. Take care of yourself - the next few weeks are going to be hard, emotionally, mentally, and physically, and you need to expect the unexpected.
There are no rules in these circumstances, so no-one knows how YOU feel, and no one can tell you what YOU should be doing or feeling. So, acknowledge each emotion as it comes as being "right and appropriate" and take time to look after you.Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes.

Just wanted to say, very sorry to hear of your loss Wordsmith and that i will be thinking of you. xBlackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

Hi Wordsmith
I have just read your diary from start to finish and have had tears in my eyes from laughing at your stories
The tears started when reading the one about stolen body parts and carried on with all the mis-hearing of words and of course Paddys driving tests
So sorry to hear the news about your mum, look after yourself, your dad and your sisterMortgage Aug 12 £165K, Aug 19 £0
