cafc i'm so sorry to hear about your grandad. it has been a bad year but take it from someone who has been in a similar situation it does get better. unfortunately the best thing to help......time.
take some time to grieve (for everything) then make a plan and slowly move on. it is hard now but time will help you. also don't bottle everything in. you know where we all are if you need us. :grouphug: sorry for the dodgy rubbing but it's meant to be a group hugGoals for FebruaryDeclutter 2/50Money Made £0/£200Overpayments £0/£2000 -
Thanks Star'
Its been ok so far, having a few moments, but just glad it was a good end for him rather than slow, in hospital etc.
DH is still waiting to hear from last interview, and he has one on thursday as well and then JSA interview on friday as well....Really hope he gets something by the end of the week so theres not much lag time in our payments etc....Wealth is not measured by currency0 -
